Note 1
The fees shown are exclusive of VAT. If VAT is applicable, it will be added to our fee at the prevailing rate (currently at 20%). The fees are based on the assumption that there will not be any additional work beyond what we expect in the course of an ordinary visa application or Tribunal appeal matter.
Note 2
The disbursements will be charged separately and may be payable in advance. Most immigration related disbursements relate to Home Office fees and immigration health surcharge (IHS), which vary from time to time. The amounts payable is available from the Home Office’s website. Barristers’ fees payable for advocacy at the Tribunal vary in each case. We will confirm such information to the clients when available from the Chambers.

Timeframe
The preparation and submission of immigration applications take around eight weeks, unless a matter requires urgent attention, e.g. immigration appeals. Once submitted, the timeframe is largely dictated by the Home Office and/or the Tribunal. Their timeframes are published on their websites, which vary from time to time. Please visit their websites for further details.
