An immigration solicitor provides expert legal advice and representation on all matters related to UK immigration, including visa applications, appeals, citizenship and sponsor licences. They help prepare applications, ensure compliance with immigration rules and represent clients in tribunals where necessary.

It is not compulsory to have a solicitor, but immigration law is complex and errors can lead to refusals or delays. A solicitor can significantly improve the chances of a successful outcome and ensure your application is accurate and complete.

We handle a broad range of immigration matters, including short-term visit visas, work visas, family and partner visas, student visas, settlement applications, British citizenship, appeals and deportation defence.

If your application is refused, you may have the right to appeal or request an administrative review. We provide guidance on the best approach and represent you through the process, ensuring deadlines are met and your case is robustly presented.

Times vary widely depending on the category of application. Some straightforward visas are decided within weeks, while complex cases or appeals can take several months. We will advise on likely timeframes based on your situation.
