About Us
AET Partners Ltd is a professional services firm based in London, with UK immigration advisory as its core practice area. The firm provides immigration, sponsor licence, Skilled Worker, family visa, settlement, naturalisation, business immigration, and compliance advisory services to both individual and corporate clients.

Maintaining accurate and audit-ready client records in electronic and physical formats.
Communicating with clients regarding document requests, case updates, and procedural requirements.
Supporting sponsor licence and Skilled Worker matters, including compliance evidence, right-to-work records, and internal audit documentation.
Assisting with internal file reviews and quality control checks before final review by the regulated adviser.
Liaising with translators, document authentication providers, medical examiners, and other third parties where required.
Supporting the development of internal templates, checklists, and workflows to improve casework efficiency.
