Immigration legal services, Edinburgh
We offer expert advice at a fair price, providing clients with transparent and tailored fees. Where possible, we provide tailored fixed fees, so that you can easily plan your costs. With more complex immigration legal cases, we will provide you with a clear fee estimate at the start, so you know the costs involved in the case. Our services include:
Consultation – We offer a Fixed Fee Initial Consultation Service, where we can meet you in person at our Edinburgh office or via video call to discuss your situation and advise you on visa options, requirements, process and supporting evidence. The meeting usually takes about one hour, and we follow it up with a written summary of the advice given. We also offer bespoke consultations for individuals and businesses.
Representation – With our Representation Service we handle all aspects of your visa or citizenship application for you. The service includes application completion and submission, preparation of legal representations, processing supporting evidence, arranging biometrics appointments and managing the correspondence with the Home Office. Our experienced caseworkers will upload your application supporting evidence and deal with all technical aspects of the process for you.
Review – With our Review Service, we review an application or supporting evidence package that you have prepared yourself. This level of support can prove highly useful for clients with very straightforward applications, but please be aware that we do not offer this service for all types of visa application.
