UK Skilled Worker Visa Application Assistance
Your next UK career move, supported by clear advice and careful preparation.
Starting a new job, extending your visa or moving to a different employer? AHJ Immigration helps you check what is required and prepare your UK Skilled Worker Visa application.
We review your circumstances, explain the evidence needed and manage the agreed preparation and submission work. You have a clear plan, know what you need to provide and can review your application before it is submitted.
Your case is managed by a qualified, authorised and regulated immigration adviser.
Skilled Worker Visa Support for Your Circumstances
Our application service can help with:
- Your first Skilled Worker Visa: Preparing an application from overseas for an eligible sponsored job.
- Switching to a Skilled Worker Visa: Checking whether you can move from your current UK immigration route and preparing the application.
- Skilled Worker Visa extensions: Reviewing your continuing eligibility and preparing an application before your current permission expires.
- Changing employer or sponsored role: Checking the new employment and preparing the required application to update your permission.
If you are moving from post-study permission, our Graduate to Skilled Worker guide explains that transition. For an existing sponsored worker, see our guide to changing employers.
Tell us which stage you are at. We will explain the service appropriate to your application.
What We Do for You
The Knightsbridge Immigration team manages your matter from initial contact to case preparation and submission, where instructed.
1. Review Your Position
We check your immigration history, current permission, proposed job, salary, sponsorship details and important dates. This identifies the requirements relevant to your application and any issues that need addressing before preparation begins.
2. Organise and Review Your Evidence
You receive a tailored document checklist. We review the evidence you provide, identify gaps or inconsistencies and explain what needs clarifying. You know which documents are needed and what remains outstanding.
3. Prepare Your Application
We prepare the application form and supporting material within the agreed service. We check the information against the documents supplied and give you the opportunity to review and approve it before submission.
4. Manage the Agreed Submission
We coordinate the submission process and explain identity checks, biometric arrangements and the next stage. Your service agreement sets out the support included after submission, including how any Home Office requests and the decision will be handled.
You and your employer provide accurate information and the necessary records. We explain the tasks each person needs to complete so preparation can move forward.
Skilled Worker Visa Application Fees
Our published professional fee for Skilled Worker Visa application assistance is £1,500. Skilled Worker extensions are £1,500.
Home Office application fees, the Immigration Health Surcharge and any priority service, tests, translations or other third-party charges are separate. We explain the relevant costs for your proposed application.
If your circumstances require additional work, we explain the proposed scope and fee before that work is agreed. Family applications and employer services are quoted separately where required.
See our immigration fees for published service prices.
Why Choose AHJ Immigration?
Advice connected to your application
We explain how the requirements apply to your circumstances, rather than leaving you to interpret a generic checklist.
A clear preparation process
You receive document guidance, a review of the evidence supplied and an application to check before submission.
An adviser and team working together
A qualified adviser manages your case, with the team coordinating the agreed preparation and submission tasks. Read about our Principal Adviser.
Fees and responsibilities explained
You can review the service, costs and what is expected from you before deciding to proceed.
Our role is to provide professional advice and preparation within our authorised scope. The Home Office decides applications, and approval cannot be guaranteed.
The Requirements We Check Before Preparing Your Application
A suitable job offer is the starting point. We assess the relevant requirements together, including:
- Sponsorship: Your employer’s licence and the Certificate of Sponsorship details.
- Job eligibility: Whether the occupation code matches the actual duties and qualifies under the relevant rules.
- Salary: Whether pay and working hours meet the applicable salary threshold and going rate.
- Personal requirements: English language ability, financial evidence and other documents required for your circumstances.
- Timing and immigration history: Where you can apply, your current permission and any relevant previous applications.
For many new applications, the standard salary requirement is at least £41,700 and the applicable going rate, whichever is higher. Different provisions can apply to eligible applicants and certain occupations.
Your employer remains responsible for assigning the correct CoS and meeting its sponsorship duties. Sponsor licence applications and ongoing compliance work require a separate service. Our guide explains defined and undefined Certificates of Sponsorship.
Getting Started Is Straightforward
Send a short outline
Tell us your current country, visa type and expiry date, proposed employer and job, salary, weekly hours and whether a CoS has been assigned. Mention any deadline or family applications.
We check whether we can assist
We review the enquiry and identify the appropriate next step. If more information or a separate assessment is needed before quoting, we explain why.
Review the proposed service
Where we can help, you receive written confirmation of the service and fee. Application work begins once instructions are accepted and the necessary arrangements are in place.
You do not need to assemble a complete document pack before sending your first query.
Skilled Worker Visa Assistance: Your Questions
Do I need a job offer before contacting you?
Tell us what your employer has confirmed so far. A Skilled Worker application requires an eligible sponsored job and a valid CoS. Our application service does not include recruitment or finding a sponsoring employer.
Can you help with my partner’s or children’s applications?
Where they qualify, we can assist with separately agreed dependant applications. Restrictions affect care worker, senior care worker and other medium-skilled occupations, with specific exceptions and transitional provisions. Tell us about your family early. Read our Skilled Worker Dependant Visa guide.
How quickly can you prepare my application?
We assess your deadline, the work required and the evidence available before agreeing a timetable. Contact us early, particularly if your permission is approaching expiry. Preparation time is separate from Home Office processing, and decision dates cannot be guaranteed.
Can this route lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain?
Under current rules, eligible applicants may qualify after five years of qualifying continuous residence and meeting the other settlement requirements. Our Skilled Worker ILR guide explains the main considerations.
What if I have a previous refusal or a more complicated history?
Mention it when enquiring. Where the advice or representation required falls outside our authorised scope, we refer you to our solicitor partners. They provide their advice and representation under their own engagement and fees.
