Immigration
Position
Dhruti has over 28 years of experience as an immigration solicitor/advisor and is a highly regarded expert in both corporate and business immigration, as well as in assisting individuals in enabling them to make the UK their long-term home.
Dhruti’s corporate immigration practice covers advising and successfully assisting multinationals, blue-chip companies and start-ups in applying for Sponsor Licences in the skilled worker or intra company transfer categories as well as advising Sponsors to ensure they are compliant with their obligations as Sponsor Licence holders.
Dhruti also regularly assists HNWIs, entrepreneurs and individuals with business visas such as Tier 1 Investor, Innovator, Start-Up visas, Sole Representative visas and Youth mobility visas.
Dhruti has extensive knowledge of second citizenship applications as well as highly complex elderly dependent relative applications, overturning visit visa and other visa applications which have been refused, indefinite leave to remain applications, spouse visas/unmarried partner applications, EU settlement scheme applications, citizenship applications and Human Rights Act applications. She often advises on difficult matters where the outcome is uncertain or because it is particularly complicated.
