Time Frame For Immigration Applications:
The length of time that it will take to complete the work will depend on the circumstances in your case. Such as:

We cannot guarantee how long the Home Office will take to process your application. Read the current processing times
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.
Disbursements (Not Included In The Pricing Set Out Above)

Clients do not always need to use an interpreter of our choosing and may bring a friend or associate to come and help interpret. | |

The fees may change if it is a first-time application or extension or if there are more complex circumstances such as if there are medical issues, criminal convictions, complicated personal situations, the language of the client, the number of supporting documents or witnesses, possible attendance at a Home Office interview, and whether it is a fast-tracked/premium application.
