Select any of the areas below to see what that work involves.
Select any of the areas below to see what that work involves.
Every matter is different, but most follow broadly these stages. We will tell you at the outset which apply to you and roughly how long each takes.
We look at your circumstances and immigration history and tell you honestly which routes are open to you — and which are not worth pursuing.
We confirm in writing what we will do and what it will cost, so there are no surprises later.
We tell you exactly which documents are needed and review what you provide before anything is submitted.
We draft the application and any supporting representations, then submit it and deal with biometrics and correspondence.
We explain the outcome and, if it is a refusal, set out the options — administrative review, appeal, or a fresh application.
Having these to hand at the first appointment saves time and cost. Do not worry if something is missing — we will tell you how to obtain it.
Most of this work is done for a fixed fee agreed in writing before we start.
