Frequently Asked Questions
What visa do I need?
We help assess whether you need a spouse visa, visitor visa, settlement, citizenship, or another route, depending on your situation and your goals.
How long does a visa or citizenship application take?
Times vary by route, from a few weeks (visitor/short stay) to several months (citizenship, ILR, appeals). We manage your application carefully to minimise delays, though Home Office waiting times are out of our control.
Do I need a solicitor to apply?
No, but professional legal help significantly reduces risks of refusal, errors, or delays, especially for complex cases, refusals, or settlement proceedings.
What if my visa was refused, can I appeal?
Yes. We offer full support for refusals, administrative reviews and reapplications. Many clients succeed the second time with expert legal help.
