Our Costs

As per the SRA transparency rules, we have provided information regarding the usual costs and expenses (disbursements) for various categories of immigration work we undertake for our clients.

We have a dedicated team who prepare and submit immigration applications. We instruct Barristers with years of experience to represent you at any hearing.

At the outset of your case we will provide you with a client care pack in which we will confirm either the fixed fee or hourly rate for our dedicated team. This pack will normally specify the range of potential fees to cover all work on your application.

We will make clear in our client care letter who is responsible for your file and any other members of our dedicated team who can answer any of your questions.

Fees guide

It is difficult to quote an exact fee as each case is different and will depend on a number of factors such as

The amount of supporting evidence that we need to consider
Which language(s) you speak
Whether you are applying with other dependents

If you are able to provide sufficient evidence at our first meeting and clearly meet the applicable Immigration Rules, the cost is likely to be at the lower end of the range in the examples below.
