  • Immigration and visa appeals
  • Administrative reviews
  • Judicial reviews
  • Pre-action protocol letters

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a solicitor for a UK visa application?

You are not legally required to use a solicitor, but immigration applications are often complex and errors can lead to refusal, delays or loss of fees.

An immigration solicitor can assess your eligibility, prepare supporting evidence, and ensure your application complies fully with Home Office requirements.

What happens if my visa application is refused?

If your visa application is refused, you may have the right to an appeal, administrative review, or judicial review, depending on the type of application. Deadlines are usually short, so it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible to understand your options.

How long does a UK visa application take?

Processing times vary depending on the visa type, your location, and whether priority services are used. Some applications are decided within weeks, while others may take several months. We can advise on current processing times and whether faster options are available.

Can I switch visa categories from within the UK?

In many cases, it is possible to switch visas from within the UK, for example from a Student Visa to a Skilled Worker Visa. However, not all routes allow switching, and eligibility rules apply. Legal advice is recommended before submitting a switch application.

Can my family members join me in the UK?

Most work, study and settlement visas allow dependants, such as spouses, partners and children, to apply to join you in the UK. Each dependant must meet specific eligibility and financial requirements.
