Euan Fergusson | UK Immigration Legal Practitioner

EIGHTEEN years of front-line experience managing thousands of successful UK visa applications goes into every aspect of my work for you.

​Enlisting my help as an experienced UK immigration consultant and legal practitioner ensures you have done everything possible to prepare for a successful outcome.

Each person who trusts me as their immigration consultant is looking for my insight and in-depth understanding of UK immigration law to help them navigate the complex and strictly applied UK immigration rules and requirements.

​Before starting Walkthruvisa in 2015, my previous work included establishing accredited immigration services and directing the work of an experienced team of immigration practitioners covering routes into the UK for workers, students and families.

As an advocate for people, I have participated and contributed my expertise and opinions to UK and Scottish Government groups and committees where they have asked for my input on a wide range of immigration issues.

For business immigration clients, I bring first-hand insight of managing and maintaining sponsor licences, heading up UKVI audit preparations, planning immigration strategies to bring colleagues from around the world to attend events and conferences and presenting round-tables and training workshops on immigration matters both within Scotland and beyond.

With a skilled immigration practitioner on your side, you can make your UK visa and immigration case with confidence.

Our Clients | Who we help

Individuals

We assist people with their applications across a range of routes: UK spouse and family visa, Tier 2 Worker, Tier 4 Student, UK Ancestry, Visitors - through to indefinite leave to remain and citizenship.

The level of support we provide depends on what you need help with. We offer one off advice, an application review service or a full application service - it all just depends on how much assistance you need. 
​

Organisations and Business Immigration

We help organisations - SMEs and other businesses, educational institutions, social enterprises and scholarship foundations - to understand the rules to attract and retain international talent and optimise their opportunities to hire international talent.

From one-off consultations and trouble-shooting, case management to onward retainers and customised services, we can guide on sponsorship under Tiers 2, 4 or 5, bringing in visitors to your organisation or thinking through the visa logistics for events, responses to large-scale changes such as Brexit and aligning HR and people process with immigratin requirements.

Education Providers and Agents

We work with education providers - universities, colleges and education agents - to maximise opportunities for students studying in the UK, obtaining Tier 4 visas, sponsor licence retention activity and delivering information to help applicants navigate the student visa rules.

We provide support to partners such as BritEd and UniDirect to provide visa and immigration guidance and information to their clients preparing to study in the UK. We also regularly work with higher education institutions in assignments relating to compliance matters, visa and immigration advice for Tier 4 students and short term study visas and application reviews at peak times of year.

How we work.

Fully Regulated | We take our professionalism seriously and seek to work to the highest standards.

​​To assure quality and safeguard our clients by access to a comprehensive ombudsman offering robust consumer protections, we are regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner. 
​

UK based | Global Reach

​We work with clients from around the world and across time zones - the vast majority of people we help, we serve remotely. We're only a click away from helping you out and distance is no barrier. We are also happy to meet clients locally to discuss their needs - either at work or at home.

Client Centred | We take a person-centered approach to help clients through their UK visa journey.

Where needed, we'll gladly make arrangements to fit around evenings and weekends, meet up in person in Edinburgh, procure official documents and find any way we can to go the extra mile to help you. We are also happy to contribute our knowledge about aspects beyond immigration - where to look for relocation information and how various practical processes work in the UK as well as deep knowledge about settling in Scotland.
​

Integrity | The value of what we do lies in our integrity as an immigration consultant.

Sometimes, we cannot help. We do not take on a case unless we believe there is a reasonable chance of success. We will always advise clients if we believe otherwise and discuss other options. We don't guess or take chances: if we cannot help you, we'll connect you to someone who can.
​

Independent | As an independent UK visa consultancy, we maintain a sustainable case load.

We do not set out to be all things to all people - we focus on the routes we know best: Family, Workers, Students, Visitors, ILR and UK Naturalisation: the mainstays of the UK immigration system. We manage a balanced work load so we can give you our attention when you need it most.

Local knowledge - Global experience

We can arrange evening or weekend appointments to suit your schedule - or timezone - working in whatever way makes the process easiest and most accessible for you.
​
For clients around Edinburgh, Scotland we can meet over coffee, in the comfort of your own home or at your workplace: all services are designed to be offered remotely. If you have access to email, a phone and to the internet, then we can work together - no matter where you are.

From Edinburgh, Fife, the Lothians and the Borders, from Australia to Zimbabwe, we successfully provide immigration services to clients from around the world.
