Fixed fees for straightforward applications, such as a spouse visa or ILR, typically start from a few hundred pounds and rise for complex or refused cases. Most solicitors in your area will quote a fixed price once they've reviewed your circumstances, rather than charging by the hour.
You can apply directly through the Home Office yourself, and many straightforward cases succeed without legal help. A solicitor becomes worth it when your case has a complication — a previous refusal, a gap in evidence, a criminal record, or a tight deadline — where a mistake could mean losing your application fee and months of waiting.
Straightforward visa applications are often decided within 8-12 weeks. Asylum claims, appeals, and cases involving a refusal typically take considerably longer, sometimes over a year, depending on the complexity and current Home Office processing times.
