Immigration Lawyer Serving Glenfield

Your Local Immigration Law Firm Serving Glenfield

Glenfield is special. This historic village, mentioned in the Domesday Book, has grown into a friendly residential community with the landmark Glenfield Hospital at its heart, the peaceful village green, St Peter’s Church and plenty of green spaces for families. It is a place where people put down roots, support one another and enjoy the best of village life with easy access to Leicester and the M1.

UK immigration rules can still feel stressful even in such a settled village. That is why Glenfield residents turn to Bushra Ali Solicitors. We are your local team, fluent in English, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and Welsh, ready to offer clear advice and genuine care.

Led by Bushra Ali, the only solicitor ever to win Leicestershire Law Society Solicitor of the Year twice (2012 and 2016), a CSR Award winner from the Institute of Directors, and a finalist for Woman Solicitor of the Year at the Law Society Legal Excellence Awards.
  • Multi-lingual and multi-cultural understanding. Language will never be a barrier for our Glenfield neighbours.
  • Innovative virtual client care. Join appointments from your home near the village green or while on a break from hospital shifts. No travel needed.

Frequently Asked Questions from Glenfield Locals

Can I apply for the Returning Resident Visa if I have been away for exactly two years?

Yes. Your settled status usually lapses after two years of absence, so you will need to apply for a Returning Resident Visa to regain your indefinite leave.

No sponsor or job offer is required. However, you must show that you intend to work or seek employment in the UK.

Can I switch from a visitor visa to a Skilled Worker Visa without leaving the UK? 

No. You generally need to leave the UK and apply from outside for a Skilled Worker Visa.

What is the difference between a sponsor licence and a Certificate of Sponsorship?
