All fees specified above are the legal fees charged by Andrew Williams Solicitors. These prices are case specific and may differ dependent upon the personal circumstances of the applicant(s). Certain factors that may alter the price can be if the client has any dependents that are to be included on the application or if there have been any previous refusals.
Please be aware that our agreed fixed fees are based upon the actual estimated time we believe we will spend working on the file. If for any reason, there are complications which require further work to be undertaken then we will contact you in advance of any work being undertaken to discuss the best way forward and the extra fees involved.

Disbursement Fees
Our legal fees do not include any disbursement costs related to the immigration matter that are payable to third parties, such as visa fees. All Home Office fees will be paid directly to the Home Office by the client as part of the application process.

If you provide documents that require translation and or authenticity verification then additional fees will be payable and should be paid prior to the instruction of the translator or expert. Client instructions will be taken prior to the instruction of any expert or translator.

Invoice and Receipts
We will keep your informed of the amounts owed and all payments you have made by providing you with regular bills and statements of fees.

It is our normal practice to insist that the entire fees be paid prior to the application being submitted to the Home Office. Unless, your matter relates to appeal then in that case we require payment of all fees before your appeal bundle is complete and served on all parties.

All clients are advised that in the event of any payment not being made or made on time, we reserve the right to decline to act further on their behalf.

Post Application Work or Other Work
In the event that further representations have to be submitted following the submission of your application or in accordance with your instructions, you will be advised accordingly of any potential legal or disbursement fee incurred as a result. We will always take your instructions before such fees are incurred.
