About Us

SL&V provide an unrivalled level of service thanks to the unique makeup of our team.

Most immigration advice is offered by either OISC trained advisers or Solicitors but our dedicated yet agile team has wider experience.

We’re OISC regulated  – but we also have more to offer.

We understand how the Home Office works

Due to the collective experience of our team, we have a solid understanding of how Home Office caseworkers make decisions.

This is great news for businesses who want to feel secure in their compliance.  We have a former Enforcement Officer on our team, able to bring you first-hand expertise in how to succeed at inspections or audits.  Be confident in your compliance with SL&V.

We have insight into how visa decisions are made

A number of our team members have worked in overseas Embassies and High Commissions, which brings great value in terms of understanding visa applications.  We have better insight into how risks are evaluated and decisions are made – meaning we’re able to mitigate for these right from the start.  Knowledge is power in assisting your applications.

We’re used to finding solutions for complex situations

Our team has over 37 years’ experience from many different angles within the world of immigration which makes us unique.  Due to the fact we’ve worked in a variety of roles, you’re gaining from a multitude of skills within the immigration sector.  So whether you’re an individual looking for help with an application, or a large corporation needing significant support, we’ve got what you need to make a difference.
