Chinese Immigration Solicitor London
Chinese-Speaking Immigration Solicitors in London
Navigating the UK immigration system is challenging at the best of times. When English is not your first language, the process can feel overwhelming. Duan & Duan UK LLP is a Chinese law firm in London with dedicated immigration solicitors who advise in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, ensuring you fully understand your options and the advice you receive at every stage.
Our immigration team advises Chinese nationals, British Chinese families, and businesses on all aspects of UK immigration law — from initial visa applications through to indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and British citizenship.
Personal Immigration for Chinese Nationals
We advise Chinese individuals and families on the full range of personal immigration routes, including Skilled Worker visas, family visas (spouse, partner, parent, child), Student visas, Graduate visas, and visitor visas. We also advise on applications for indefinite leave to remain under the long residence, family, and work routes, and on applications for British citizenship and naturalisation.
Our solicitors understand the particular challenges Chinese applicants face — from gathering documents in the correct format to navigating the financial requirements and English language tests. We guide you through each step clearly and in your language.
ILR Applications for Chinese Clients
The indefinite leave to remain application is one of the most important immigration decisions you will make. The requirements are strict, and mistakes can result in refusal. Our immigration solicitors have extensive experience preparing ILR applications for Chinese clients, including compiling evidence of continuous residence, advising on the Life in the UK test, and ensuring all supporting documents meet Home Office standards.
If your ILR application has been refused, we can advise on appeal rights, administrative review, and judicial review options.
Corporate Immigration and Sponsor Licences
For Chinese-owned businesses operating in the UK, we provide corporate immigration services including sponsor licence applications, Skilled Worker visa sponsorship, compliance audits, and right-to-work checks. Our solicitors work closely with HR teams to develop immigration strategies that support business growth while maintaining full compliance with UK immigration regulations.
We understand the needs of Chinese companies establishing UK operations and can advise on the immigration aspects of bringing key personnel from China to the UK.
Chinese Student Visa Advice
The UK remains one of the most popular destinations for Chinese students. Our solicitors advise students and their families on Student visa applications, extension applications, switching visa categories after graduation, and the Graduate visa route. We also advise on the immigration consequences of academic or disciplinary issues that can affect a student's immigration status.
Immigration Appeals and Judicial Review
When an immigration application is refused, acting quickly is essential. Strict time limits apply to appeals and judicial review claims. Our immigration team has experience challenging Home Office refusals through the Immigration Tribunals, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court. Our partners have a combined 30 years of experience in immigration litigation.
