UK Immigration Lawyer in NYC

September 9, 2011 4:10 AM

Does anybody know a good immigration lawyer in NYC to help facilitate a visa application process for a move to the UK?

I am in NYC and looking to move to London on a Tier 1 Entrepreneurship Business Visa at the end of October 2011. I would love to meet someone in New York to help me through this process. Any advice is much appreciated.

I am currently going through the Green Card process for entry INTO the US and am having a fantastic experience thanks to the crew at:

Fettmann, Tolchin & Majors, PC/
FTM Arts Law
10509 Judicial Drive, Suite 300
Fairfax, VA 22030
t. 703.385.9500

I don't know if they deal with your kind of situation but they might be worth a call, if only to get a recommendation for a more suitable firm. And while they are in VA, I have never met them in person, I'm in NYC and all my dealings are via phone or email.

You're not going to find anyone in New York. Look for someone in London, which is where you actually want to go, and pick up the phone. Of course, you could pay someone in NY to locate that person for you, or deal with a global law firm, but if you had that kind of budget for legal services you wouldn't be asking here.
