Most immigration matters are charged on a fixed fee basis. We have provided below an indication of the range of charges that are likely to apply for a range of different immigration matters and are for reference only. The exact amount we charge depends on the complexity and urgency of the case  and will be agreed with you in writing beforehand.

 

The table below covers most common services that we provide, the list is not exhaustive, please contact us for other services not covered.

 

Please note that the above estimate are quoted for main applicant only. Addition of £500 per each dependant will be applied.

 

 

What services are included?

The work will involve:

  • discussing your circumstances in detail and confirming whether this is the most appropriate application for you to make and what other options may be available to you;

  • giving you advice about the requirements of the Immigration Rules and whether you meet the criteria.

  • if you do not fulfil certain criteria, advising on whether this can be overcome and how;

  • considering the supporting evidence you have provided*; 

  • where necessary, helping you obtain further evidence (such as medical records and bank statements), including taking statements of any witnesses;

  • preparing your application and submitting it on your behalf;

  • coordinating Home Office application appointments where necessary;

*the amount of hours depends on the number of documents, whether they need to be translated, whether anything is missing and how long it will take to obtain the missing documents. 

 

Disbursements (not included in fees set out above):

Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as visa fees, interpreters fees, translation fees, independent expert reports fee.
