Overview
What do our UK and USA visa services cover?
Globalized Visa Experts supports clients applying for study, work, family, and permanent residence visas in the United Kingdom and the United States. The two countries run very different immigration systems. The UK operates a points based system administered by UK Visas and Immigration, while the USA separates its routes into nonimmigrant visas for temporary stays and immigrant visas that lead to a green card. Our team helps you identify the right category for your goals, prepare a complete and accurate application, and avoid the most common causes of refusal.
Whether you are applying for a UK Student visa, a UK Skilled Worker visa, an EB2 National Interest Waiver green card, or a US family based petition, we manage the process from document collection through to your final decision.
- Visa category assessment based on your goals and background
- Guidance aligned with UK Home Office and US USCIS and Department of State requirements
- Application preparation, review, and submission across both countries
One team, two immigration systems
Our advisors work across UK and USA routes, so you receive consistent guidance whether you are weighing a Skilled Worker visa against an H1B, or a Global Talent visa against an EB2 National Interest Waiver.
Start with a consultation so we can confirm which visa category fits your qualifications and timeline before you apply.
The Opportunity
Why choose the UK or USA for study, work, or settlement?
Both countries offer established routes for international students, professionals, and families, though the process for each looks different.
Globally Recognised Qualifications and Careers
UK and US degrees are recognised by employers around the world, and both countries offer some of the strongest research, technology, and finance sectors for international professionals.
Established Pathways to Work and Settlement
From the UK Graduate Route and Skilled Worker visa to US employment based green cards such as the EB2 National Interest Waiver, both countries offer routes that can lead from a temporary visa toward long term status.
Family Reunification Options
Partners, spouses, and children can join you in the UK through a Family visa, or in the USA through family based immigrant petitions, once you meet the requirements of your route.
