Martin Ledran
I write to offer testimony to the excellent service provided by AR UK Visa in obtaining in-country spouse visa for my wife (BNO - Citizen of Hong Kong), under what were difficult circumstances created by Covid lock-downs. Aisha was calm and supportive throughout, with particular care going into the evidence-gathering. Most pleasing was the fact that AR UK Visa provide a "complete" service, in contrast to many companies, who merely offer form-checking and leave the Applicant to struggle with the paperwork themselves. Therefore, I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending AR UK Visa to anyone with complicated Immigration needs. With great thanks…..
Stephen Kirby
We worked with Aisha from December 2020 to April 2021 to secure a UK Visa for my fiancée Consy who is from Uganda. I would summarise our dealings with Aisha in three words: knowledgeable, professional and diligent. Without your knowledge, professionalism and diligence Consy would not be here with me in the UK. We are now finalising our wedding plans for the end of July 2021 and on the day we, our friends and family will raise a glass of something bubbly in your honour. THANK YOU AISHA!
Donald Rudikoff, MD New York, NY
I highly recommend AR UK VISA for all immigration matters. My godson Othman had a complex visa situation applying for a Tier IV visa while he was still in the UK on a temporary student visa. Instead of having to go back to Morocco, which would have been very complicated given the Covid 19 pandemic and quarantine requirements, he was able, thanks AR UK VISA to stay in the UK throughout the entire process. They handled all the details with expertise and courtesy. If we need any further Visa services in the UK, AR UK VISA will be our first choice.

Aisha combines professionalism with empathy - she understands that the immigration process is not just a rational but also an emotional journey.

We recently used ARUK Visa to go through the process of, successfully, getting my wife's UK visa for a spouse, and I cannot recommend Aisha Rasheed more highly. From initial contact ,right through to the completion, Aisha was professional, thorough, and above all, extremely helpful. The procedure can be a bit overwhelming but Aisha walks you through it and makes sure that everything you need is there, so that there are no surprises after your application. Her fee is very reasonable and for the amount of stress that we were saved, a good investment. We approached other people to help us with this but are really glad we chose Aisha and ARUK Visa. Thank you for everything! Patrick & Narti (Hong Kong)

How do you evidence your Indefinite Leave to Remain?
- a stamp in an expired passport, which might state that the bearer of the passport has ‘indefinite leave to enter’, or ‘indefinite leave to remain’.
- a paper document which state that there is no time limit on their residence in the UK.
- Some may have no particular physical evidence at all, but will have evidence to show they have lawfully resided in the UK for many years.
- EU nationals may have cards which state that they have ‘permanent residence’ in the UK, which should have been used by the deadlines or should be used in a late application for ‘Settled Status’ under the EU Settlement Scheme
Why do I need a BRP card to prove my Immigration Status in the UK?
- Travel - Home Office website provides that you must travel with your current passport and your expired passport which has the stamp, and show the two together when you enter.
- you can apply to replace the stamp, either by having it placed into your current passport or by applying for a biometric residence permit (BRP).
You can also choose to either:- replace your visa with a biometric residence permit if you’re in the UK (the cost depends on your visa status)
- transfer your visa to a new passport online if you’re outside the UK (it costs £154)
- Employment - stamps in expired passports cannot be used to prove the right to work.
- You cannot use a valid visa in your expired passport to prove you have the right to work in the UK.
- You cannot use a valid visa in your expired passport to prove you have the right to work in the UK.
- Identity, study and public benefits - The Home Office website indicates that in order to prove identity, the right to study and to public benefits, you need your BRP.
- If you have settled or pre-settled status
You can continue to use your residence card until it expires. You do not need to apply for a new one.
Until it expires, you can use it to:- help you re-enter the country more quickly and easily if you travel abroad
- show employers you’re allowed to work in the UK
- help prove you qualify for certain benefits and services
- Thereafter, or if you do not have a BRP, your settled status can be checked online.
If you do not have a document to prove your ILR or ILE?
- your passport containing your status or previous NTL endorsement has been lost, stolen or has expired
- you have ILR or ILE but you do not have any documentary evidence confirming this
- you have legitimately changed your identity since being granted indefinite leave and want this confirmed on a BRP
