Common questions about immigration solicitors in the UK

How much does an immigration solicitor in your area cost?

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.

Do I need a solicitor for a visa application, or can I apply myself?

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.

How long does an immigration case usually take?

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.

Are the immigration lawyers listed for your area regulated?

Every firm listed here has been checked on the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority) register. You can check any firm yourself using its SRA number on the SRA's public register.
