Meet Our Team

With over 15 years of experience in immigration law and a Master’s degree in Immigration Law and Human Rights Law from Harvard University, Steve McCarthy is one of the UK’s most accomplished OISC Level 3 regulated immigration and asylum consultants.
Steve has built a reputation for delivering results where others fall short. His deep expertise spans the full spectrum of UK immigration — from Skilled Worker Visas and Sponsor Licence applications to Indefinite Leave to Remain and complex corporate immigration compliance — as well as Canadian and European pathways for individuals and employers seeking opportunity beyond borders.
What sets Steve apart is not just his qualifications, but his approach. Every case is handled with the precision of a legal expert and the personal attention of a trusted adviser. He understands that behind every application is a life-changing decision — and he takes that responsibility seriously.
As the founder of Meralis Immigration Services, Steve established the consultancy with a clear mission: to give individuals, families and employers access to the highest standard of immigration expertise, with complete transparency and no hidden surprises.
If you are navigating the UK immigration system — or exploring pathways to Canada or Europe — Steve and the Meralis team are ready to guide you every step of the way.
