Family Visas
Here at Peer & Co we provide assistance with all aspects of family visa applications. As Home Office Immigration Rules are constantly changing with regards to family visa applications it is important to seek professional advice.

We specialize in the following areas of family immigration law:

Spouse Visa Entry
Ancestry Visas
Sole responsibility applications for children abroad wishing to join their parents/relatives in the UK

For more information in regards to our family visa applications services please get in contact with our helpful team.
Immigration Appeals
Our experienced appeal lawyers have a proven record of success before the First-tier and Upper Tribunals.
Whether you’re challenging a visa refusal, deportation decision, or human rights rejection, we prepare compelling legal arguments and represent you throughout the process.
Spouse Entry Appeals
If your spouse or partner visa has been refused, you can appeal under Article 8 (Right to Family Life).
We present clear evidence that your relationship is genuine and that refusal would cause unjust hardship to your family.
Our team works sensitively and strategically to reunite couples separated by unfair decisions.
Human Rights (In-Country) Appeals
If the Home Office has refused your human rights claim while you’re in the UK, you may have a right of appeal.
We prepare strong evidence to show that removing you would breach your private and family life rights.
Our expert advocacy ensures your case is presented with care and precision.
Deportation Appeals
Facing deportation can be devastating — but it can be challenged.
We act quickly to stop removal and build robust appeals based on proportionality, family ties, long residence, and rehabilitation.
Our lawyers have extensive experience in complex deportation cases involving both criminal and humanitarian issues.
Asylum Appeals
If your asylum claim has been refused, we can help you appeal and protect your right to safety.
We use detailed country reports, expert testimony, and credible evidence to demonstrate the risks you face if returned.
At Peer & Co, we believe everyone deserves the right to live free from persecution and fear.
Human Rights Applications
Human Rights applications are at the core of our work ethic and are one of the most important parts of our practice. This is an extensively complex part of immigration law and the rules are always changing; this can make it extremely difficult to enter or remain in the UK.
The Human Rights Act 1998 was implemented in October 2000; its primary aim is to give further effect to the rights included within the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights (ECHR) and Fundamental Freedoms. Because of this act any decision made in regards to a person’s right to remain in, or enter the United Kingdom must comply with those of the ECHR.
Our passionate, empathetic, and highly professional team work with some of the most vulnerable members of our society. We deal with domestic violence victims, abused children, overstayers, and complex medical cases to provide immigration assistance; this list is not exhaustive as we deal with many complex cases and have the experience to succeed.
If you are someone in one of the situations mentioned above we urge you to get in contact. Protecting the human rights of our clients lies at the heart of our ethos here at Peer & Co. We have much experience dealing with a broad range of highly complex cases and provide all appeal representation under this area of immigration law.
We understand how difficult it is to deal with these types of situations and we strive to create a more equal world for our clients, as Nelson Mandela said there is “no such thing as part freedom”. For more information in regards to Human Rights applications please get in contact with us and arrange your free initial consultation in Birmingham or Watford. For those not local to the area we are happy to provide a consultation via Skype for individuals all over the country.
20-Year Overstayer Visa
If you have lived in the UK continuously for 20 years without valid immigration status, you may qualify for leave to remain under the Long Residence Rule.
This route recognises individuals who have built their lives in the UK despite long-term overstaying.
At Peer & Co Immigration Lawyers, we guide you through every step — from collecting strong evidence of residence and identity to preparing detailed legal representations.
We help you secure lawful status and peace of mind after years of uncertainty.

Mr Peer is absolutely the best. He is truthful and straight talking. If he can't do it there is no immigration lawyer that can. My husband and I used to watch his show on TV. When the time came to get a British passport we went straight to him. Don't bother wasting your money and time on other companies. Go to the best. Absolutely brilliant guy. Mr Peer we thank you sincerely.
Amazing Job. I have been with them for the past 12 years and they are on top of the lawyers in the UK. Consult them for any matter and your life will never remain the same. Peer is a very caring lawyer, he listens and advice accurately and Joanna is the best very tolerant and professional. Thanks for being in part of my journey , I recommend your office to everyone
The best immigration lawyers 👌 in the business. Rest assured, If you need an expertise and years of experienced lawyers. This is you're choice. They've handled my immigration matter for 10 years and always deliver. Im so glad I chose them Thank you so much.
I’m beyond grateful to Mr. Peer and Ms. Rychlicka at Peer & Co for their exceptional support with my settlement application. From beginning to end, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident in every interaction. Mr. Peer provided clear and confident legal guidance, while Ms. Rychlicka was incredibly thorough, responsive, and compassionate throughout the process. She kept us well-informed at each stage and took great care to ensure I understood everything clearly, which made the entire experience much less daunting. Thanks to their combined efforts, my application was successful. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better team to support us through such an important milestone. I highly recommend Peer & Co to anyone in need of immigration assistance – their service is of the highest standard.
Excellent service, honestly and professionally delivered with accurate detailed advice guiding throughout the whole process. Deep knowledge and understanding of the Immigration systems, laws and procedures demonstrated. Success for my case , even after the initial rejection decision by the Immigration services. I highly recommend Mr Shiraz Peer and his firm for any Immigration matters and will be happy to return with any future Immigration or Visa case.
Excellent and prompt service. Kind and very considerate. Got an appointment at very short notice for my sister’s student visa application. Given her financial situation, Shiraz was exceptionally accommodating. Previously, I tried multiple solicitors for legal advice for other matters, and I can tell the difference. Shiraz is professional and genuinely cares about helping us. Definitely recommend.
