Last week before our immigration fees go up on 1 September – apply now to use the old fee!
Our service
fees will be changing from 1 September 2014. We do try to keep them as
affordable as possible but many of the current fees remained at this level for
almost 4 years. You can, however, start the application process now, in August,
and avoid the increase!
You don’t have to be
eligible to apply now, we understand your application may not be due for some
time. However, as long as we have a signed letter of engagement and a
deposit in August 2014, we can keep your case until you are ready to make
an application.
This not only lets you
save the money, it also allows to ask as many questions as you have from the
point of paying a deposit in August and until your application is ready to be
submitted to the Home Office. It means you may have several months, a year or
even more of an unlimited advice regarding your case.
If you paid an advice
fee to us earlier (£70 or £100) and didn’t make an application yet - we would
count it towards our service fees, as usual.
Here are the main
categories where our fees will increase from 1 September 2014:
Indefinite leave to remain (permanent residency) for spouses and
partners of British citizens (SET M), same-day service at the Home Office: now £599+VAT,
new fee £750+VAT.
Indefinite leave to remain for those with Ancestral visas,
same-day service at the Home Office: now £599+VAT, new fee £750+VAT.

£100+VAT, new

Tier 4 (Student), same-day service at the Home Office: now £599+VAT,
new fee £750+VAT. Here increase is due the very time-consuming
online application form.
Fees for the main
applicant for a Spouse/Partner visa (initial or extension), Tier 1 General,
Tier 1 Entrepreneur and Investor, ILR based on Tier 1 and Tier 2 remain the same as now. Dependants’ fees go
up from £100+VAT per person to £150+VAT per person.
