IMMIGRTION LAW

Current British immigration laws make immigration applications hard to manage without expert guidance.

Failed applications are expensive to fix and our view is that prevention is better than cure. That is why we take a planned and calculated approach to immigration.

Everything we do is designed with settlement as the ultimate goal; and with peace of mind for the client at the forefront of all of our work. With our success rate being well in excess of ninety per cent, we bring peace of mind and a tenacious approach to making sure your immigration applications run smoothly and with minimal stress on your part.

This section contains information about immigration categories for non-European nationals

It describes the eligibility requirements for each category, and explains how you can make an application inside or outside the UK.

Public Access – Immigration Appeals

If you wish to appeal against a Home Office visa or immigration decision, we can advise and represent you. You can ask us just to submit an appeal form, or ask for a hearing at the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) – we can advise you about this. The First-tier Tribunal can also itself decide to hold a hearing. Please note that barristers are not allowed to do legal aid work on a Public Access basis. To help you make an informed decision about whether to apply for legal aid or proceed with Public Access, you can use the legal aid eligibility calculator on the gov.uk website: https://www.gov.uk/check-legal-aid.

Timescales

Timescales for our services may vary depending on factors such as barristers’ availability, the complexity of your case and the need for additional documents. As you must appeal a decision within 14 days (from within the UK) or 28 days (from outside the UK), please contact us as soon as possible. You may also need advice and/or representation at short notice. If so, please contact us: we will aim to advise you and/or represent you at a hearing where possible.

We only charge fixed fees, which means that we will charge you a set amount of money for the work. Below we provide estimates based on the ranges of fixed fees for barristers. All fees include VAT (where applicable). If we charge fixed fees, these may vary depending on your needs – for example, Your fees will be higher if you have a more complex case.
