Question 1

Can I get a Graduate Visa after studying in Leeds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. International students who have completed a qualifying degree at a UK licensed sponsor (such as University of Leeds or Leeds Beckett University) can apply for the Graduate Visa (Graduate Route). It grants 2 years of open work rights (3 years for PhD graduates) with no employer sponsorship needed. You must apply before your student visa expires and have studied your course in the UK. Yorkshire Immigration Advisors assists with the application and checks your eligibility, including the physical attendance requirement.

Question 2

How much does affordable immigration advice cost in Leeds?

Accepted Answer

Yorkshire Immigration Advisors operates at the affordable end of the Leeds market, with fees typically in the range of £300–£800 for standard applications. This is significantly less than premium London firms. Standard student visa extensions and Graduate Visa applications are straightforward cases where affordable OISC-regulated advice provides the same quality assurance as higher-priced firms. Yorkshire Immigration Advisors also advises on the Government's visa application charges (which are fixed regardless of which adviser you use) so you understand your total outgoings.

Question 3

What is the difference between OISC-regulated and unregulated immigration advice?

Accepted Answer

OISC-regulated (or IAA-regulated) immigration advisers are authorised by the regulatory body and must adhere to professional standards, carry professional indemnity insurance, and be assessed on competency. Unregulated advisers — sometimes called 'notarios' or 'ghost advisers' — have no authorisation, no accountability, and no insurance. In the UK, it is a criminal offence to provide immigration advice without OISC/IAA authorisation or SRA regulation as a solicitor. Always verify your adviser's registration number before paying any fee.
