Support through high-pressure immigration matters
Immigration matters can feel confusing and high-pressure, especially when a decision affects your ability to stay with family or continue working in the UK. Our team has supported clients through everything from spouse and fiancé visa applications to settlement, nationality, and complex asylum claims and appeals.

Immigration & asylum — frequently asked questions
How long will my application take?
Timescales are set by the Home Office rather than by us, and vary widely by route — see our fees page for examples.
Do you handle asylum claims?
Yes — we represent people seeking asylum from the initial claim through to the Home Office decision, and on appeal if needed.
What if my application or claim is refused?
We will advise you on whether you have a right of appeal, an administrative review, or a judicial review. We represent you through that process.
Can I apply for ILR myself?
You can apply yourself, but the rules are complex and strict. Instructing a solicitor helps ensure you provide the correct documents and meet the specific requirements for your route, reducing the risk of refusal.
What does this cost?
See our fees page for non-asylum immigration costs. Ask us about legal aid — whether it is available depends on the type of matter.
