An individual may qualify for another right of residence under EU law, if he or she does not qualify for a right of residence under the free movement directive of 2004/38/EC. These rights are known as 'derivative rights' because they are derived from the EU law and not from the directive. An individual has a right to live and work in the UK once he or she qualifies for or continues to qualify for a derivative right of residence. The purpose of acquiring permanent residence in the UK cannot be acknowledged based on time spent in the UK with a derivative right of residence, that is, an individual cannot acquire permanent residence on this basis if he or she has a derivative right of residence. As long as that individual qualifies for this right, he or she will only continue to have that right of residence. The application form DRF1 is used for the application process of derivative residence card which is made to the Home Office. The application for derivative residence card will be processed by the Home Office within 6 months of receiving the application.
One of the following categories decides which individuals may qualify for a derivative right of residence and they are:
Tier 1 Investor Visa - Business Immigration
Investing over 2 million pounds is defintely not a routine decision. We had to make sure that the Tier 1 investor immigration lawyers that we'd be picking
has to be one of the best within the Tier 1 investor category. We contacted Reiss Edwards and they were able to get us not only the Tier 1 investor visa but
also suggested profitable investment portfolios in addition to what we already had in mind.
Indefinite Leave to remain - UK Settlement and Naturalisation
I am glad that i instructed Reiss Edwards on my visa matter. It started with a 20 minutes free immigration advice. I met with Amar to discuss my ILR refusal. He gave me a great deal of
quality advice and decided to take on my messy case. I had doubts on the merits of my case by he was relatively convinced
he could win it. That made me quite secure. To be honest, things did not start as quick as I would have wanted, but they kept on communicating the process and state of things
to me.A big thank you to Verusha and Foram. They were also very helpful. Brilliant and informative. Their fee was fair and reasonable, especially if you compare them to other law firms and immigration law firms in London; some of whom even told me that i would not be able to get an indefinte leave to remain in this country.
The process was long but was worth it. In the end, a big thank you to Reiss Edwards.
Citizenship Application - UK Naturalisation
TI have just had British Citizenship application approved. Prior to making the application, i was not sure which law firm
i should hire to facilitate the paperwork. After a few hours of research, i decided to go with Reiss Edwards and i must confess that
i wasnt disappointed. The immigration lawyers at Reiss Edwards handled my case well and they really knew what they were doing. They were fully
aware of what documents I needed and it was easy for them to tell if my case was going to be easy or not. At the end of the day, I have not received my British citizenship within 3 months. If anyone is looking for a good immigration lawyer to handle thier case, contact Reiss Edwards.
Spouse Visa - Appeals and visa refusals
Fantastic Solicitors!!!
My wife's spouse visa extension application was refused by the Home Office and they gave her 14 days to leave the country.
We contacted Reiss Edwards and they said "OK don't worry we will sort this out". They put together the list of documents
for me to obtain and they prepared a bundle which was as thick as the printer it came out from.We followed everything they asked us to do and in the end we won our appeal and got our spouse visa. We can't recommend them enough and we have promised ourselves never to make any more UK visa applications without them.

UK Settlement Visa
I contacted Reiss Edwards to help me with my wife’s UK settlement visa. They acted with utmost professionalism throughout the entire application.

Most people in his position would have panicked but he was calmed and continued to assure us. We received out positive outcome very quickly.

Indefinte Leave to remain - Individual Immigration - UK Settlement visa
It's a shame that you dont have an 'Excellent' star rating on here, as my experience with Reiss Edwards is nothing short
of an excellent rating. They handled my application for an Indefinite Leave to remain in April 2014 and did my husband's one
very recently including my daughter. Every time i have approached them, they have continued to treat me with courtesy,
respect and patience. Amar was indeed a very thorough and professional gentleman. He is very knowledgeable, corporative and
engaging. He responded to my emails, calls and enquiries promptly. He was always reassuring. I could not have asked for a better
Immigration service. I would recommend them over and over again for anyone looking for an immigration advice.
They gave me a free immigration advice when i called them, and the quality of the advice was something other charge thousands for.
If you need a particular, name, Amar would be it. He exemplifies, for me, the true, professional gentleman.
He is a valuable asset to Reiss Edwards.
Tier 2 Visa application - UK Work Visas
This is the only firm that i spoke with that didn't ask for money before listening to me, will be using them again.
I used Reiss Edwards for my Tier 2 visa application and it was successful. The team was ever present and happy to answer my question. The caseworker that dealing with my case went on holiday yet by case did not suffer one bit. Another lawyer stepped and took
over the case without any hassle.
Tier 1 Investor Visa - Business Immigration
My Tier 1 Investor Visa was dealt with quickly and without issue. Would recommend Reiss Edwards as an Immigration law firm in London. Thank you to the team.
