Timescale
We cannot offer you a definite timescale. This depends on Home Office processing times and the complexity of the case.
Disbursements
Disbursements are not included in the fees estimate.
This can be for example:
- Barrister fees: Please note, barristers (specialists in attending and arguing at Court) are not required in many cases we handle. If a barrister is needed it should be noted that our preferred barristers’ fees are generally charged at GBP 200 to GBP 350 per hour, depending on the experience of the barrister. This kind of application will normally require between 2-5 hours of the Barrister’s time (if applicable), depending on the complexity of your case.
