Our immigration specialists carry out a free detailed assessment with you to understand your circumstances and needs.

The collated information is then reviewed by a senior immigration solicitor who will have no less than 8 years’ immigration experience.

Based on the information collected, the senior solicitor will then confirm what your options are and will also confirm if we are able to help you.

We will offer you an Agreed Fixed Fee quotation for us to handle your entire case until initial conclusion without obligation.

If we have officially taken your instructions, we will create a client file for you and collect detailed initial information.

We will then ensure you receive a personalised one-to-one legal consultation with a senior immigration solicitor who will take your full instructions by exploring your circumstances in detail and advise you on the best way to meet your objectives. The solicitor will explain the relevant legislations and provide you with advice on the steps that we would need to take to get a successful result.

The senior solicitor who carried out your legal consultation will then send you detailed written legal advice explaining everything that needs to be done and which documents will be required as part of the process. We will tell you about any problem areas and formulate a strategy to overcome/mitigate these.

We will carefully review any documents that you have provided in support of the application. These documents are then validated and formatted to ensure that they meet the UKVI specified evidence requirements. Where they do not, we will explain what needs to be done to address the issues.

Where required, we will prepare any necessary written legal arguments or representations that are required to support your application and gain an approval. Often, we may be required to make discretionary submissions.

We will complete a draft application and share this with you to ensure that all parties are happy with the representations that will be submitted to the Home Office.

We advise you on what application processing routes are available. In some cases, there are fast track or premium processing routes available. We may be required to book a Home Office appointment on your behalf.  Will also be able to confirm typical processing times for any processing centre in the world. We explain all options, routes and fees comprehensively allowing you to make the best choice.

We lodge the application on your behalf using our secure authenticated processes. Whilst your application is pending, we continue to ensure you receive maximum legal protection and ensure that your rights and allowances are upheld throughout the processing stage. We ensure that you are aware of and remain compliant with the immigration rules and regulations during this period. We will also keep you updated on the progress of your matter.

If any follow up work is required in response to any queries raised by the UKVI, we will also deal with these as part of the comprehensive service.
