UK VISA APPLICATION PACKAGE
Help with your UK visa application
Every UK visa has its own rules, evidence and application process, and what you need also depends on your circumstances and whether you’re applying from inside the UK or overseas.
Our Visa Application Package is for individuals, families and businesses who want an immigration lawyer to prepare their application. We’ll check you qualify, go through your documents, complete your application form and write a letter to the Home Office setting out your case.
What’s included
1. A detailed consultation
We start by talking through your situation, your immigration history and the visa you want to apply for. We’ll check you meet the requirements and pick out anything that could cause a problem, such as the financial requirement, previous applications, family circumstances or time spent outside the UK.
2. Written advice
We’ll confirm our advice in writing, covering the requirements you need to meet, the evidence you’ll need and any weak points. If we spot a problem, we’ll talk it through with you before anything is submitted.
3. Document checks
We’ll tell you exactly what documents your application needs, rather than handing you a general checklist, and check everything you send us. Depending on your visa, this might include:
- passports and immigration documents
- bank statements and other financial evidence
- employment and sponsorship documents
- marriage, relationship or family evidence
- details of your accommodation
- English language certificates
- your residence and travel history
4. Your application form
We’ll complete your application form and check that everything in it matches your evidence. We’ll also tell you the Home Office fee, the Immigration Health Surcharge and any other charges before you apply.
5. Written representations
Where it helps, we’ll write a letter to the Home Office explaining why you meet the requirements and pointing to the key evidence. If there’s anything unusual about your case, the letter deals with it up front.
