Our Fees - Immigration
As part of our professional obligations we are required to publish transparent pricing in the area of Immigration law and summary only motoring offences. These figures may however vary in cases with particular complexities. That is why we will always give you a cost estimate based on your individual transaction that takes into account the actual features of your transaction.
Of course, if any unexpected complications arise that have an impact on our fees, we would immediately inform you of this and would discuss with you the potential consequences before you incur any extra fees.

In the vast majority of cases we are able to offer our clients a fixed fee to prepare and submit their applications. However, in circumstances where this is not possible our fees will be calculated on the following hourly rates:
-
Victoria Foster – Head of Department – £150 plus VAT
We will provide you with a cost estimate based on the number of hours we reasonably expect to spend on your case and the disbursements that are likely to be incurred.
Consultations
If you would like to speak to a member of the Immigration Team to discuss your case, we can offer a one hour face to face or telephone consultation based on the above hourly rates.
Typical Disbursements
We will advise you at the outset of all government fees relevant to your application.
The Home Office publish a comprehensive list of their application fees which it would not be appropriate to publish here, but which can be accessed here.
Please note, the list does not include the Immigration Health Surcharge which we will calculate according to your personal circumstances and include among the disbursements payable
In addition, where translation and/or interpretation services are required, we will provide you with a quote for you to consider before we engage the third party supplier.
Typical Timescales and Key Stages
In our experience the vast majority of out of country applications are decided within 4 weeks, although some family-based applications can take longer (up to 12 weeks).
Processing times for in-country applications can vary depending on whether they are submitted as standard (up to six months, though usually no more than 3 months) or priority (within a few days, with payment of an additional Home Office fee)
