Hi I live in Spain but am a British Citizen I could have the choice of submitting an application for a skilled worker visa to Paris or London perhaps..I would normally go down the route of London, but, would it be better to go for Paris instead or are the waiting times just a bad?

Is it true that the London Wait times are up to 4 years?

thanks in advance

Andrew Miller

London "up to 4 years"? At least 49 months (4+ years) at present just to initial assessment stage if applying as federal skilled worker without arranged employment. Quite longer in Paris.

Thanks for your reply Andrew..Ive been reading this board and realising more like 5 now...I would be a freelance illustrator still working for a UK agent for clients in north america and europe (as i do now) so wouldnt be looking for work as i contue what im currently doing so-to-speak...my lawyer still thinks i should go skilled worker route ..is this best?

thanks again

I can't tell you without knowing details about your case and making full evaluation. You may have the option of going through business class as self-employed if you meet criteria. If your lawyer is an authorized immigration representative with good experience then listen to him.
