How long will your case take?

Upon receiving your instructions, we typically aim to prepare and submit your UK visa and immigration applications within a timeframe of 2-4 weeks. However, if circumstances indicate that it may take longer than this estimated period, we will promptly inform you. The actual duration required to prepare your application is contingent upon the complexity of your case and the timely provision of the necessary supporting evidence from your end.

Visa decision waiting times

Typically, you can expect to receive a decision on your visa within a timeframe of 6 months of making application to the Home Office after submitting your application and attending your biometric appointment at a visa service center.

It is important to note that we cannot guarantee the exact processing time taken by the Home Office to evaluate your application. The duration of UK visa application processing varies based on factors such as the type of visa being applied for, your location, and the type of service selected.

We strongly advise applicants to refer to the official UK government website for the most up-to-date information regarding UK visa application processing times, whether they are applying from inside UK or outside the UK. This ensures that you have the latest and accurate details regarding the processing timeline for your specific visa category.

Disbursement

Disbursements refer to the expenses incurred in relation to your case that are payable to third parties, including visa fees, Counsel Fees, and interpreter fees. To ensure a smoother process, we take care of the payment of disbursements on your behalf. Alternatively, you have the option to directly pay the third parties involved.

Here are some common disbursements associated with the application process for a UK visa:

  • Home Office visa application fee
  • Immigration Health Surcharge(IHS) (if applicable)
  • Biometrics fee(if applying from inside the UK)
  • English language test fee (if required)
  • Life in the UK test fee (if required)
  • Please be aware that the aforementioned list represents typical disbursements related to UK visa applications. Depending on your specific circumstances, additional disbursements such as court appeal fees, translation fees, and tuberculosis (TB) test fees may apply. We will provide further details regarding any additional disbursements that may be relevant to your case.

VAT

VAT, or Value Added Tax, is a type of tax imposed on the purchase of goods or services. In the United Kingdom, the standard rate of VAT is currently set at 20%, however, since we are not registered for VAT hence you do not pay Value Added Tax on our costs.
