“NCLS has been absolutely terrific”

INCI AND RICHARD

The couple have been married for 27 years and spent their life together in the United States. Inci is a US citizen, while Richard grew up in Norfolk, and they dreamed of moving back to the UK so that Inci could eventually find work here.

Over several months, NCLS guided the couple through their immigration options, advising them at each step and managing their application for UK entry clearance. In January 2025, the Home Office granted them clearance to live and work in the UK. Once Inci arrived, NCLS helped her set up her eVisa. After five years in the UK, she will be able to apply for settlement.

Reflecting on their experience, they said: “NCLS has been absolutely terrific – great follow-ups, everything done really well. We felt comfortable with NCLS and felt they really cared about our situation. The law is hard to understand sometimes, so organisations like NCLS are so important. Many places have lost that personal contact, but being able to walk in, see an advisor and form a relationship made such a difference. I was happy to contribute towards NCLS afterwards and am indebted to the charity for the work it does.”

Now settled in Norfolk, Inci is eager to contribute her skills to a potential employer and begin her new life here.
