Officers at the British missions use entry clearance procedure for checking a person before entering the United Kingdom. Through this procedure, it is established if the person qualifies to enter the UK, under the immigration rules. More so, there are some cases where the entry clearance is optional and, in others, it is mandatory. In all cases, the authority of admitting someone to entry in the UK rests in the hands of the IO (immigration officers), who are at the port of entry. As part of the application procedure, the applicants have to submit biometric information and pay a visa fee as well. Our immigration solicitors in London can offer support in this matter and for obtaining UK residence card or British citizenship.
