FACTORS AFFECTING FEES

Whether the application is a first-time application or an extension
Whether there are multiple dependents (e.g. children)
What language you speak
The number of witnesses
Whether you need to attend a Home Office interview
Whether it is a fast-track or premium application
How clearly you meet the Immigration Rules

DISBURSEMENTS
Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable by you to third parties, such as visa fees. These items are in addition to our fees set out above. We handle the payment of some disbursements on your behalf, and the cost of these will be added to your final bill.
Disbursements We Handle:
Interpreters' fees: You are not required to use an interpreter of the firm's choosing and you may wish to bring a friend or another community figure to come and help interpret. However, if professional interpreter services are required, their costs typically range from £100 – £150 per hour (inc VAT). The number of hours required with an interpreter will depend on the complexity of your case. Simple cases may only require around 2 hours services, but more complex matters may need 10-15 hours.
Independent expert reports: e.g. medical experts. These may not be required in many cases, but we will let you know as soon as possible if we consider an expert report is necessary, together with the likely cost.
Travel expenses: If we attend any Home Office interviews with you, there will be additional disbursements in respect of any travel expenses that we incur.
Disbursements You Pay Directly:
You will be responsible for paying any Home Office application fees directly to the Home Office.

Subject to the prompt response of clients to produce the required documents, we will normally be able to submit applications within an average of 2 months of you instructing us. We will let you know at the earliest opportunity if it is likely to take longer.
Please note the anticipated number of hours and fees are an estimate based on the facts above. All applications are likely to vary and of course, we can give you a more accurate estimate once we have more information about your specific case.
