UK Immigration Solicitors London | Immigration Lawyers & Advisers

The cost of an immigration solicitor in London depends on the type of application, the complexity of the case and the legal work required. Cases involving previous refusals, complex evidence or appeals may require more work than straightforward applications. Our London immigration solicitors provide a written fee quote before paid legal work begins. Home Office fees and other third-party charges are separate.

We offer a free initial immigration case review so you can explain your circumstances and understand whether further legal assistance may be appropriate. Detailed legal advice and representation are paid services, with the scope of work and fees agreed before we begin.

You can request a free case review or call 020 3384 4389.

No. You are not legally required to use an immigration solicitor to submit a UK visa application. Legal assistance may, however, be useful where there has been a previous refusal, the financial or supporting evidence is complex, there are immigration-history issues or an important deadline is approaching. A solicitor can review the requirements and evidence before the application is submitted.

Yes. UK Immigration Solicitors is a trading name of SABZ Solicitors LLP, which is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under SRA number 566543. The firm is authorised to provide immigration legal services and other regulated legal services in England and Wales.

Yes. Our immigration solicitors London can review the Home Office refusal letter, identify the reasons for refusal and advise on the available options. Depending on the decision, these may include a fresh application, administrative review, immigration appeal or judicial review.

UK visa processing times depend on the immigration route, where the application is made and whether a priority service is available. Current Home Office service standards include around three weeks for many Standard Visitor Visa applications made outside the UK, while partner and spouse family visa applications made outside the UK generally have a 12-week service standard.

Not as a single rule applying to every settlement applicant. The government has proposed an earned-settlement model under which a 10-year baseline would apply to many migrants, but the wider reforms have not yet been fully implemented across the Immigration Rules.

Current ILR qualifying periods therefore continue to depend on the specific settlement route. A higher B2 English-language requirement is due to apply to specified settlement routes from 26 March 2027.

If you are approaching settlement eligibility, our ILR solicitors can assess the rules that apply to your route.

It is useful to have your passport details, current immigration status, visa or permission expiry date, relevant Home Office correspondence and a brief immigration history available. If you have received a refusal, include the refusal letter and decision date.

For family applications, information about your relationship, sponsor and financial circumstances may also be relevant. Providing accurate information at the outset helps the solicitor understand the case more effectively.

An immigration solicitor cannot force the Home Office to make a faster decision, but they can help ensure the application is properly prepared and advise whether a priority or super priority service is available for your immigration route. Where available, priority services can provide faster decisions, although timescales vary by application type and individual circumstances.

No. A delay does not automatically mean that your UK visa application will be refused. Applications can take longer where the Home Office needs additional evidence, must verify documents, requires further checks or is experiencing increased demand. If your application has exceeded the published processing time and UKVI has not contacted you, you can contact UKVI for an update.

A UK eVisa is a digital record of your immigration status, accessed through a UKVI account. If your eVisa is incorrect, inaccessible or affecting your ability to prove your status, our London immigration solicitors can advise on the appropriate UKVI process and next steps.
