Immigration Applications - Clear Pricing

What is involved?

All of the work required to complete the application:

• Discussing your circumstances in detail and confirming whether this is the most appropriate application for you to make and what other options may be available to you
• Giving you advice about the requirements of the Immigration Rules and whether you meet the criteria
• If you do not fulfil certain criteria, whether this can be overcome and how, which on average takes 1.5 hours*
• Considering the supporting evidence you have provided, which we anticipate will take 2-3 hours*
• Where necessary, helping you obtain further evidence (such as medical records and bank statements), including taking statements of any witnesses
• Preparing your application and submitting it on your behalf, which we anticipate will take 3 hours
• Attendance at a Home Office interview: if the Home Office ask you to attend an interview, we will give you clear advice (and discuss the possibility of us attending with you) at the appropriate time. This could be between 5-6 hours of work and an addition
• Giving you advice about the outcome of the application and any further steps you need to take

*the amount of hours depends on the number of documents, whether they need to be translated, whether anything is missing and how long it will take to obtain the missing documents.

Timescale

The average time to submit your application to the Home Office is usually between 2-3 weeks providing we have all the information required; however, we cannot guarantee how long the Home Office will take to process your application. We shall aim to keep you updated as to the progress of your case at all times. In addition, the Home Office website provides guidance on the timescale the home office takes to reach a decision.
