1. Group Formation and Registration

UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) is the processing that goes on the application. The process usually takes 15 and 30 working days after the biometric appointment, depending on the average. We track the process of your application and inform about changes and requests of the authority.

After the application is accepted we pick up the visas and give back stamped passports to the members of each group. At that point, you are completely permitted to travel to the UK in the same lifespan of visa.
