UK Migration Lawyers is excited to be seeking two immigration caseworkers to join its Birmingham based team. We are seeking candidates with strong immigration law experience who are passionate, driven, organised, self-motivated and who want to show their abilities in this fast paced and challenging environment.

This position is an excellent opportunity for a caseworker with at least 2 years + experience in a relevant field who are seeking to advance their career with the objective of gaining more knowledge, experience and abilities at a firm committed to the development of all staff.

We offer bespoke personalised immigration advice and services at all levels and have a proven track record in assisting clients facing seemingly insurmountable barriers to enter or remain in the UK. We have a wide range of clients who reflect the diversity of those migrating into the UK and no two clients or days are ever the same.

  • Advising on nationality law, naturalisation and registration applications.
  • Preparing bespoke submission instructions to assist clients filing application by post from within the UK or at Entry Clearance Posts overseas or Premium Service Centres in the UK.
  • Liaising with UKVI over the telephone and keeping clients informed of the progress of their application.
  • Advising on, preparing and lodging appeals, administrative reviews and judicial reviews.
  • Keeping up to date with changes to UKVI policies and procedures and cascading knowledge as appropriate.
  • Experience and confidence in delivering training internally and externally.
