In addition to his corporate practice, Demetris has extensive experience in personal and family-based immigration, including applications under Appendix FM for spouses, fiancé(e)s, children, and parents of British or settled children. He regularly advises on cases involving complex financial circumstances, previous refusals, adverse immigration history and criminal convictions.
