The factors which may impact on the complexity of your case and therefore the fees charged, include:

• How straightforward your case is in terms of the law.

• Whether will be necessary to appeal.

• The amount and complexity of supporting evidence that we need to consider.

• The language(s) that you speak and the need for an interpreter.

• Whether you are applying with other family or dependants.

​​

The cost is likely to be toward the lower end of the price range if you can provide sufficient evidence to support your application at an early stage, so that we can make an early assessment that you meet the legal tests for your immigration application. If the case is more complicated or an appeal is necessary, then the costs of your case may exceed the typical price range illustrated above. We will discuss your matter and needs with you and provide you with a cost estimate tailored to your situation.

​

Other costs to consider

The costs quoted here do not include:

• ​Home Office fees that need to be paid for your application. You can learn more about these on the Home Office UK visa fees website.

• Advice and assistance in relation to any appeal if your application is refused.

​​

Legal work involved in the transaction

The examples of typical costs above cover all of the work in relation to the following key stages of an immigration application:

• Discussing your circumstances and advising you on your options throughout the process.

• Advising you on the Immigration Rules and whether you meet the criteria for the application you are making.

• Where you do not fulfil any of the criteria, advising you on whether and how this can be overcome.

• Considering and advising you on the documents and evidence you have provided in support of your application.

• Advising and assisting you with obtaining any further documentary evidence (for example, medical records or bank statements) and taking statements from any supporting witnesses.

• Preparing your application and submitting it on your behalf.

• Advising you on the likely time scale of your matter, the outcome of your application and whether there are any further steps you need to take.

• Communicating with the Home Office and other parties (for example, witnesses) throughout and advising you on those communications.

​​

It would not normally be necessary to undertake other work or incur other costs other than those described above. However, we would be very happy to provide you with a more tailored quote for all stages of your particular case, once we know about your specific circumstances.

Matter time frame
