EXAMPLE OF AVERAGE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF SPOUSE VISA APPLICATION

The exact number of hours it will take depends on the circumstances in your case such as:

The amount of supporting evidence that we need to consider. Which language(s) you speak, whether you are applying with other dependants.

If you can provide sufficient evidence at our first meeting and clearly meet the applicable Immigration Rules, the cost is likely to be lower range.

On the other hand, if there is any issues or difficulties you had previously which need to be addressed or if you have a dependent estimated hours will likely to be higher and so the costs.

INTERPRETERS

Interpreter fees difficult to estimate, can rack up and are a significant proportion of the overall cost. You do not have to use interpreter we choose. You are very much welcome to bring a friend or family member to come and help interpret.

Sometimes a client may only need a couple of hours with an interpreter, other applications may need 10 or 15 hours. Our estimated hour will significantly increase if an interpreter must be used.
