Immigration

How we help

Clear, careful immigration advice for individuals, families and employers navigating the UK system. Your matter is handled by a solicitor who knows the file, so the person advising you is the person you speak to.

How the process works

Every matter is different, but most follow broadly these stages. We will tell you at the outset which apply to you and roughly how long each takes.

1. Initial assessment

   We look at your circumstances and immigration history and tell you honestly which routes are open to you — and which are not worth pursuing.

2. Agreeing scope and fee

   We confirm in writing what we will do and what it will cost, so there are no surprises later.

3. Building the evidence

   We tell you exactly which documents are needed and review what you provide before anything is submitted.

4. Preparing and submitting

   We draft the application and any supporting representations, then submit it and deal with biometrics and correspondence.

5. Decision and next steps

   We explain the outcome and, if it is a refusal, set out the options — administrative review, appeal, or a fresh application.

What we will need from you

Having these to hand at the first appointment saves time and cost. Do not worry if something is missing — we will tell you how to obtain it.

• Passport and any previous passports
• Current visa, BRP or eVisa details
• Proof of your UK address
• Evidence relevant to the route — relationship, employment, study or sponsorship
• Financial evidence where the route requires it
• English language test certificate or qualifying degree, where required
