What is Business Immigration?
Over the last few years immigration policy has not been based on evidence, but on political agenda. We appreciate the positive impact of migration on the economy and society, and are happy to advise professionals, employers, entrepreneurs and investors as to the routes that are open to them so that they can be economically active in the UK.

What is Appendix FM?
The Immigration Rules contain the framework for immigration applications and claims engaging Article 8 of the ECHR (the right to respect for private and family life). Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules provides routes to entry clearance based on family life.
If you wish to make an application under Appendix FM, it is useful to consult the Home Office guidance on the rules. The guidance gives a detailed explanation of the requirements that must be met and advises on the documents that should be provided in support of the application. Links to different aspects of the guidance are highlighted below.
Appendix FM Guidance
This is a Home Office guidance to its Home Office staff which helps decision makers to conclude how to decide immigration applications that require assessment. The guidance covers Appendix FM 1.7 which deals with financial requirements, Appendix FM 1.7A which deals with maintenance and accommodation, Annexe FM 3.1 which deals with children applications, and in particular section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 which requires the UK Border Agency to carry out its existing functions in a way that takes into account the duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in the UK. As well as Appendix FM 3.2 children guidance and Annexe FM 3.2.A relate to Adult Dependent Relatives.
