Focused on family. Focused on you.
Many firms try to be everything to everyone. We prefer to be masters of one craft. Nuvora is a specialist practice dedicated exclusively to private immigration — helping families reunite across borders, assisting long-term residents to return with confidence, and supporting individuals as they secure citizenship and find their roots.
Your Pathway to the UK
-
Partner & Family Visas
The rules for bringing a partner to the UK are now stricter and more demanding. Higher financial thresholds and tighter evidence requirements mean applicants must meet a significant burden of proof — from the Minimum Income Requirement under Appendix FM to proof that a relationship is genuine and subsisting.
We handle the entire application process on your behalf. That includes gathering and organising payslips, bank statements, tenancy agreements, correspondence and all other supporting documents, and presenting them in line with the Home Office’s evidential expectations. We prepare clear, targeted case bundles and draft the statements and cover letters that make the key points of your case persuasive and easy for an entry clearance officer or caseworker to assess.
Reuniting with a partner is a life milestone, not just an administrative task. We apply practical, evidence-led strategies for:
- Spouse visas
- Fiancé(e) and proposed civil partner routes
- Unmarried partner applications
Our approach is focused on clarity and effectiveness at every stage, designed to give you the best possible chance of success.

UK Ancestry Visa
Were one of your grandparents born in the UK and you hold Commonwealth citizenship, you might be eligible for the UK Ancestry visa. This route permits you to live and work in the UK for five years, after which you can apply for settlement.
Our service covers:
- Assessing eligibility based on grandparental birth in the UK
- Reviewing and advising on the required documentary evidence
- Preparing documentation to demonstrate your genuine intention to work in the UK
- Managing the application from submission through to settlement
We prioritise clarity and efficiency at every stage to maximise your chances of a successful outcome.
-
Returning to the UK
Rules for returning to the UK as a former settled resident are strict. You must prove prior ILR, justify long absences and show strong UK ties with precise evidence and legal argument. We prepare the complete Returning Resident application, compiling stamps, employment records, family links, accommodation proof and all Home Office documents.
- Returning Resident Visa (for ILR lost through absence)
- Lapsed ILR: strategic case explaining absence and justifying return
- Strong ties: evidence of family, work, property or other UK connections
- Residence and absence calculations: accurate chronology and legal framing
-
Settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain)
Settlement is the step that takes you from temporary permission to make the UK your permanent home. It marks the end of “visiting” and the start of settled life.
We provide expert guidance across all settlement routes, including:
- Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) for all visa categories
- Long Residence (10‑year continuous residence) applications
- Discretionary leave extensions
Our service covers every requirement: preparing your application, meeting the Life in the UK and English language tests where needed, and calculating absences and continuous residence with precision to minimise the risk of refusal. We handle the complex evidence and deadlines so you can focus on settling in.
-
Citizenship
For many, holding a British passport is the culmination of a long journey. Whether you are applying for naturalisation after years of lawful residence or uncovering a right to citizenship through an ancestor, we guide you through the complexities of nationality law with precision and care.
Our expertise includes:
Naturalisation as a British citizen: advice and full application support tailored to your personal circumstances.
Registration of children: helping secure citizenship for minors born inside or outside the UK.
Complex and historical claims: specialist handling of “double descent” and other ancestry-based routes, assembling the documentary evidence and legal argumentation needed to establish rights that are often overlooked.
We focus on clear, practical strategies to achieve the best possible outcome in every case.
