HOW IT WORKS

From your first call to a decision.

Three steps, one lawyer, and an update every time something moves. Here is exactly what happens, and when.

HOW IT WORKS

One lawyer, three steps, no surprises.

You will always know which step you are on, what we need from you, and how long the next part usually takes.

Step 01

Understand your situation

A free 20-minute call. We tell you which route fits and what it will cost.

Step 02

Build your application

We check every document and prepare the whole application with you.

Step 03

Submit and stay with you

We file it, answer the Home Office, and stay with you until the decision.

WEEK BY WEEK

What happens, and when.

Most applications follow the same five moments. We tell you the date of each one at the start, and we tell you the moment anything changes.

Submitted, and you know what comes next

We file, book your biometrics, and tell you the realistic wait in weeks, not a range from a website.

We stay with you

We answer Home Office questions and chase delays. If the answer is no, we tell you the next step the same day.
