Funding Options and Costs
We understand that funding legal representation can be a concern. We strive to offer accessible options to ensure that our services are available to as many individuals as possible.
We are able to offer Legal Aid, depending on the circumstances of your case and your income, which may entitle you to free legal advice. In cases where Legal Aid is not available, we offer various funding options, including competitive hourly rates and the option to agree on a fixed fee for most matters. We are also open to discussing suitable payment plans in certain cases.
Our fixed fees cover all the necessary legal work related to your specific application up until the point you receive a decision from the Home Office/Embassy. If an appeal is necessary, the fixed fee covers all the legal work required for your appeal, including representation at the Court/Tribunal, up to the promulgation of the court or tribunal’s judgment. At that point, we will advise you on onward appeal rights, if applicable, and any associated costs.

Case Duration
The duration of each case can vary depending on its complexity and various factors that impact the timeline. Urgent cases where an applicant’s existing visa is due to expire will be prioritized, and we strive to work within those deadlines to protect your legal status. However, we can only begin preparing an application once we have received all the necessary information & documents from you. Therefore, it is crucial to provide us with any requested documents as soon as possible. Once we have complied all of the evidence and the information as well as any payments necessary to make your application we then aim to submit the application in a matter of days.
Once your application has been submitted, then the time-frame for receiving a decision would be subject to the operations of UK Visas & Immigration and the Visa Application Centres in each respective country. We will of course provide you with a general estimate on each case depending on the type of your application and the country in which the application is made.
