Our fees

Our fixed fee structure is very simple, straight forward, reasonable and transparent. We also offer affordable and flexible terms of payment of our professional fees depending on the client’s circumstances. We charge fixed fee which is agreed upon in advance in most cases and full payment is not dependent on the outcome of the application. The agreed fee does not extend to professional fee for submitting fresh application in cases of refusal or in cases where an application is declared invalid because of client’s failure to comply with some requirement(s) or request(s) after being duly advised or notified. Usually Immigration Tribunal appeals are concluded in a single hearing but where, in rare cases, your appeal extends beyond a single day hearing or is adjourned by the presiding judge or Tribunal to another date for reasons not attributable to any default on our part you will be billed for the additional day(s) hearing which will be communicated to you before the adjourned date. In addition, our fee does not include the application fees payable to the Home Office or to Immigration Tribunals in cases of appeal and judicial reviews.

We charge for the initial one-hour consultation session and our fee is £100.00. When you instruct us on the matter the consultation fee is deducted from the agreed professional fee. At least 50% of the agreed fee is payable upon opening of your file and commencement of work on your matter. Full payment must be made before your application is submitted or at the time your letter for biometric enrolment is received from the Home Office or in accordance with agreed flexible terms of payment. No refund is normally made once we have commenced working on a matter where a client decides to withdraw instruction except at our discretion. Our fees are as follows:
