Successful Resolution of Skilled Worker Dependant Visa Delays
Introduction
At Sterling Law, we recognise the pressure and uncertainty clients face during the immigration process, particularly when family applications are involved. We are pleased to share a recent success story handled by Tetiana Deren and Daria Kotkova.
Skilled Worker Visa Granted, but Dependant Visas Delayed
Our client submitted a Skilled Worker visa application using the priority service, and his own visa was granted within the expected timeframe. However, despite applying for his dependents simultaneously and also selecting the priority service, their applications were not processed on time.
This type of situation is unfortunately not uncommon. Even when the legal requirements are satisfied, applicants may still experience:
-
unexpected Home Office delays,
-
system or technical issues,
-
inconsistent processing speeds, or
-
administrative backlogs.
Such complications can cause significant stress, especially where travel, employment start dates, or family arrangements depend on timely decisions.
How Sterling Law Achieved a Positive Outcome
Thanks to the persistent efforts of Tetiana and Daria, we were able to secure the approval of all dependent visas. Our team monitored the applications closely, submitted targeted follow-ups to the Home Office, escalated the matter appropriately, and maintained continuous communication until resolution.
Through consistent, informed, and proactive case management, the dependent visas were ultimately granted, allowing the family to proceed with their plans.
Why Experienced Legal Support Matters
Immigration law is not only about legal requirements. In practice, complications often arise from operational issues within the Home Office, including delays and technical glitches that are difficult to predict or resolve without specialist knowledge.
Working with an experienced legal team ensures that:
-
issues are addressed swiftly and effectively,
-
unnecessary delays are avoided,
-
your application is presented as strongly as possible, and
-
there is a dedicated team advocating for you throughout the process.
At Sterling Law, we combine legal expertise with extensive practical experience, enabling us to manage both routine and complex immigration challenges with confidence.
