      What our clients say

      How quickly can our UK Immigration Solicitors prepare your application?

      The time it takes for our immigration solicitors to prepare your visa application can be affected by several factors, including:

      • The type of visa you are applying for
      • The country from which you are applying
      • Whether additional background checks are required (this may involve enquiries with former employers, reviewing your financial history, or contacting family and friends). If further details are needed, the time taken to receive responses from relevant authorities may extend the process.

      If you have not yet been interviewed by an immigration officer at the British High Commission in your home country, it may take approximately four months to prepare your application. If an interview has already taken place, the decision timeline will depend on the specifics of your case and can range from six weeks to ten months, with the average processing time being around four months.

      Once your visa application is submitted to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), it cannot be altered or transferred to another category. If your circumstances change after submission, you will need to make a new application.

      To help expedite the process, ensure that you provide all the necessary documentation and information from the outset. Avoid making unnecessary trips back to your country of residence during the application period, as this could cause delays.
