How We Help You Prepare and Apply Confidently
We manage every stage of the visa-extension process – from understanding your current position and reviewing your documents to preparing the application accurately and guiding you through until a decision is made.
Here is how our solicitors typically handle an extension of stay.
Whatever your circumstances or questions, you can reach out for a free initial case review. We take the time to understand your current visa, any approaching deadlines and any areas that may require attention. Under the guidance of a senior immigration solicitor, we set out what the process involves and what will be required. If you choose to proceed, instructions can be taken remotely for complete convenience, and the expected fees and timescales are explained clearly.
You’ll speak directly with a qualified immigration solicitor (not a call centre). During this consultation, your existing permission, any changes since your last application and any factors that may influence your extension are reviewed. You receive clear legal guidance on what is required and how your application should be approached to minimise avoidable difficulty.
All relevant documents are examined carefully - including identity information, financial records, residence details and any other supporting evidence. Each item is checked against current Home Office requirements so we can identify what is complete, what needs updating and whether anything requires clarification before the application is drafted.
A strong extension relies on clear, consistent and up-to-date evidence. We organise your documents so that they reflect your current circumstances accurately and meet the expectations of the decision maker. Any gaps or unclear points are addressed early to minimise the likelihood of delays or additional requests.
Your solicitor prepares the application forms and supporting explanations in line with the rules in force at the time of submission. Where necessary, detailed clarification is provided to ensure the information is presented in a structured and accurate way that aligns with Home Office requirements.
We manage the submission of your visa extension, including biometric arrangements and any follow-up correspondence from the Home Office. You receive updates throughout the process so you are aware of how your application is progressing and whether anything further is required.
Once a decision is issued, we explain the outcome and any steps that may follow - such as planning future extensions, understanding how the decision affects your ongoing status or preparing for a longer-term route. Our aim is to ensure you understand your position clearly and are prepared for what comes next.
