FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you help with BN(O) settlement (ILR)?
Yes. We check your continuous residence, absences from the UK and the other requirements before you apply, then prepare and submit the application. Rules change, so we confirm the current position in your consultation.
Are Home Office fees included in your price?
No. Home Office application fees and the Immigration Health Surcharge are paid directly to the Home Office and are separate from our fee. We tell you the current amounts before you apply.
How long will my application take?
Preparation usually takes two to four weeks, depending on how quickly documents are ready. Home Office decision times vary by route and are published on GOV.UK.
Can I have my consultation in Cantonese or Mandarin?
Yes. Consultations are available in Cantonese, Mandarin and English, in person in London or by video call.
