Our client, a seasoned professional from China with over 15 years of high-ranking experience in a rapidly developing business, sought our guidance in applying for an Expansion Worker visa. This was due to the company’s interest in making its mark in the UK market.
While in the UK on a business visitor visa, our client was exploring the feasibility of branching his employer’s business into the UK. There was already momentum building within the company, with plans being drawn up for its UK expansion.
Upon consultation, we identified that our client was a perfect fit for the Expansion Worker visa, thanks to his vast experience and senior role in the company. We laid out a two-pronged strategy: initially assisting the employer in obtaining the Global Business Mobility (Expansion Worker) sponsor licence, and subsequently sponsoring our client’s visa application.
Our seasoned team meticulously gathered and presented extensive documentation to corroborate the genuine intention of the business to initiate a UK branch. We assuaged our client’s concerns about potential biases against the application, emphasising his seniority and the authenticity of his company’s expansion plans. The client was made to feel easy about the whole process, despite the fact that this visa category had only just been announced by the Home Office.
We also provided insights to our client on establishing their venture as a wholly owned subsidiary in the UK. Drawing upon our expert advice and direction, and ensuring all criteria were comprehensively addressed, we were confident of a positive outcome.
The team was able to prepare the sponsor licence application with the relevant documents, which ensured a response from the Home Office within six weeks.
While the application was pending, we reminded the client of the requirements and documents needed for the visa process. The client collated the documents and provided them to us for review. Following the successful outcome of the sponsor licence application, we were able to quickly apply for the Expansion Worker visa.
Our dedicated approach bore fruit when the Home Office approved our client’s Expansion Worker visa. Grateful for our tailored services, our client highly recommended our firm and expressed immense satisfaction with the results.
