Disbursements &Home Office costs

Disbursements

Fee estimates do not include disbursements — third-party costs such as Home Office fees and court fees. We can pay these on your behalf where we hold funds on account, or you can pay them directly.

Home Office fees vary by application type and visa length. Appointment costs depend on where and how you apply, and whether you use a priority service. You pay these to the Home Office as part of the application process.

Immigration appeal fees are currently £140 for an oral hearing and £80 for a paper hearing.

How long will my matter take?

We cannot guarantee Home Office processing times. We will normally be able to submit applications within 2 to 4 weeks of instruction, depending on complexity and how quickly we receive supporting evidence. In-country appeals are ordinarily heard within 3 to 6 months; overseas appeals between 12 to 18 months.
