Visa Support for Students
The team support educational establishments with regards to the sponsorship of overseas students, including g complex Student and Child Student visa matters within further education colleges and independent schools.
Many immigration issues are dealt with under Stone King’s Legal Support Retainer for education clients.
The team received a number of queries from an independent school around short-term study. The school had requested advice on whether they could enrol students who were in the UK as visitors as the Immigration Rules and guidance were unclear. The team advised on the visitor visa rules in relation to a variety of different situations. The school were grateful to receive clarification on this particular area of immigration law which can be complex and difficult to navigate.
The practice is able to adapt their advice based on your business. We have a unique structure and links between our sponsor schools. The Stone King team understands this and is more likely to give us the advice that works across the group. Julie Moktadir builds a relationship with the people in our schools so it is very easy to discuss complex issues with her. - Legal 500 2021
