fixed fees - FT Solicitors

Our professional fees for Immigration cases

We assist individuals in their immigration or visa applications to the Home Office. Our fees are as follows:

Hourly rate: £200

On average, this type of work takes between 8 – 20 hours to complete, depending on which application we lodge on your behalf. This means that on average costs are between £1,500 and £4,000. All figures exclude VAT where applicable.

The exact number of hours it will take will depend on the circumstances of your case, such as:

The amount of supporting evidence that we need to consider to establish you are eligible to be granted a visa / leave to remain.
The language you speak and how familiar you are with the various items and processes.
Whether you are applying with dependents.

If you are able to provide sufficient evidence at our first meeting and clearly meet the applicable laws under the current United Kingdom Immigration Laws, the cost is likely to be at the lower end of the above range.

The work will usually involve the following:

- 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 laws applicable you and whether you meet the criteria.
- if you do not fulfill certain criteria, whether this can be overcome and how, which on average takes 5-10 hours;

- giving you advice about the outcome of the application and any further steps you need to take. *the amount of hours depends on the amount/number of documents, whether they need to be translated, whether anything is missing and how long it will take to obtain the missing documents.
