HOW WE WORK
Our Four Stage Process
We operate a three-stage system.
Stage One
The Initial Consultation Stage
This is the initial Consultation usually by an appointment.
The prospective client is invited to meet with our specialist solicitor. This meeting enables both you and the solicitor to get to discuss in detail what the case is about.
You will be given up to an hour to state orally what you want us to do.
Based on your history and quest, a detailed and most appropriate and workable advice is given by the specialist solicitor.
Written details of the documents and pre-application steps are fully and clearly provided for you.
An email advice follows your consultation to ensure that you understand all the intricate policies and regulations regarding your case.
Current Situation
Due to Covid-19 Lockdown and social distancing policies, we are unable to meet physically with prospective and existing client.
This is to protect you and us from unavoidable proximity.
Alternatively, we rely on electronic and social media for our work.
For consultations, we use WhatsApp Videos, Face Book Messenger and via Zoom.
These mediums enable you to have a hitch-free visual consultation sessions.
Stage Two
Preparation and Review Stage
At this stage we encourage you to provide the supporting documents you require to enable us to carefully prepare and submit your paper or online application.
Currently due to Covid-19 restrictions and preventive measures, we encourage all clients to utilize available electronic or social media avenues to send documents to us.
We encourage prospective clients to use their mobile phones and scans to produce such supporting documents.
For those of our existing and prospective clients who are unable to utilize the stated electronic or social media transmission systems, we allow documents to be posted to us.
It enables us to check and clarify any issues that may arise and advise you further where necessary.
A detailed cover letter accompanies every application made for you as this assists the Caseworkers to have better understanding of your application.
We shall proceed to the next stage only after you are satisfied and agree with the matters.
Stage Three
Submission Stage
This involves the submission of your application.
We ensure that you are able to provide requisite documents and information to have a high probability of a successful outcome.
We arrange your biometric appointments and guide you through it all.
We assist all our clients to upload documents to ensure that deadlines are met while the right documents are provided for consideration by Home Office Caseworkers.
Final Stage
Final Application Stage
While your application is pending, we always continue to work with you by providing updates and also work with you to meet any further requests that may accrue after the submission of your application within the UK or overseas.
Our goal is to provide our best service with a successful outcome.
Your success is our pride and thus the final stage ends with a decision.
Appeals
Immigration Appeals
This is when your application is refused by the Home Office or Entry Clearance/Visa Officer and you believe you have good reasons to challenge the decision.
This could be by way of an oral hearing at the Immigration and Asylum Tribunal or by a paper appeal where you do not need to go to the Tribunal in person and the matter is considered based on the supporting documents sent to the Tribunal, by a Tribunal Judge.
We undertake all appeals from the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal up to the Judicial Review stage, if there is merit in your case.
We are proud to mention that we have a reasonably low appeal matters as we strive to get it right the first time at the application stage.
We consider merit and the probability of success always before proceeding to the appeal stage.
The appeal stage does not form a part of the initial application stage and so are charged separately.
We also deal with clients who instruct us directly following a refusal of their applications.
