Immigration Pricing

Thank you for looking at our services for Immigration. We work with both individuals and businesses on all types of visa applications, as well as naturalisation and all other immigration issues.

Immigration law can be particularly complicated with regular changes to take into account, so if you find yourself in the position where you need to deal with any aspect of immigration law, it is understandable to feel confused and overwhelmed.

Having expert legal assistance from our immigration lawyers can help clear things up and allow you to quickly and efficiently sort out any issues you are facing regarding a visa or other immigration issues, whether as an employer or as an individual.

We can assist you with everything from the simplest visa application to handling more complex immigration matters. We aim to provide clear, practical advice tailored to your individual needs, so we can help you achieve your goals as quickly and simply as possible.

Pricing

The fees involved can vary depending on the complexity of the matter. 

Our fees include:

  • 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, whether this can be overcome and how, which on average takes1 to 2 hours
  • Considering the supporting evidence, you have provided, which we anticipate will take 2 to 7 hours
  • Where necessary, helping you obtain further evidence (such as medical records and bank statements), including taking statements from any relevant witnesses
  • Preparing your application and submitting it on your behalf, which we anticipate will take 2 to 6 hours
  • Attendance at a Home Office interview: if the Home Office ask you to attend an interview, we will give you clear advice (and discuss the possibility of us attending with you) at the appropriate time. This could be between 6 and 8 hours of work
  • Giving you advice about the outcome of the application and any further steps you need to take

Hourly Rates

Our hourly rates range from £235– £370 (+20% VAT) depending on your solicitor’s experience, the complexity of your case and the individual circumstances.

The exact number of hours will depend on the circumstances of your case such as:

  • The amount of supporting evidence that we need to consider
  • Which language(s) you speak
  • Whether you are applying for other dependents

It will be helpful if, at our first meeting, you are able to provide any evidence needed to meet the applicable Immigration Rules. This will help us speed up the process and assist us in keeping costs to the lower end of the rangege.

Interpreters

Our fees do not include the cost of an interpreter as these are difficult to estimate. The range of hours required will usually be between 2 and 15 hours, however, this depends on the complexity of your case and we will need to discuss this with you further.

We would recommend where possible that you bring a friend or trusted community figure to assist you. We will recommend an interpreter for you when required, however if you know of someone you would prefer to use, we can of course accommodate this.

Disbursements

Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as visa fees - we handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.
