Our Immigrations Services Prices at Amin Haque Solicitors

At Amin Haque Solicitors, we prioritize transparency and integrity in our fee structures. Our goal is to ensure that all our clients and potential clients have comprehensive information to make informed decisions about our immigration services. This guide focuses on our immigration services provided primarily for the public. Our business-related immigration services are not covered in this guide.

Our Specialisations

Beyond immigration, we also offer expertise in Asylum applications, Human Rights applications, Human trafficking, and Modern Slavery cases. We also cater to highly specialized applications, often outside of the typical Immigration Rules, and as such, these specific costs cannot be provided in this guide.

Fee Structure

Depending on the case and individual circumstances, we may offer a fixed fee or an hourly-rated quotation. Both structures are elaborated upon below.

All prices are exclusive of VAT. VAT, charged at the current rate, will apply to our fees and most disbursements. Some cases might be exempt from VAT.

The fees we list represent our professional charges for the comprehensive legal services we offer.

Variation in Services

Each immigration application is unique, and thus the services offered might differ case-by-case.

Exclusions from the Professional Fees

Our professional fees do not cover:

- Home Office-related expenses such as application fees, Immigration Health Surcharge, etc.

- Payments to third parties like HM Revenue & Customs, HM Passport Office, Land Registry, etc.

- Counsel’s fees (with estimates provided before instructing them).

- Preparing Schedules of Absences from the UK.

- Tribunal or Court fees.

- External translation and interpreter fees.

- Expert or Agent costs.

- Non-standard postage and courier charges.

- Travel and meeting expenses.

Additional services we might charge for:

- Photocopying and printing.

- Bank charges.

- Document Certification.

- In-house Translation.

- A possible additional charge of £150 (plus VAT) if representation is needed at the Home Office’s Public Enquiry Office or Overseas Visitors Records Office (for Police Registration) in the UK.

Fixed Fees

For most of our work, we prefer the fixed fee model. This fee will not vary and is not contingent on the application's success. But any disbursements or additional expenses incurred on your behalf will be separate from our fees. If you retract your application before submission, the fixed fee and any expenses remain payable in full.

On the other hand, we also operate on an hourly rate for specific cases. The rates differ based on the expertise and experience of our professionals:

- Senior Solicitor: £350

- Solicitor (4+ years of experience): £220

- Solicitor (<4 years of experience): £177

- Trainee Solicitor or similar: £146

---

Upon instruction commencement, we'll provide a rough estimate of the expected hours and the consequent cost. Accurate hourly predictions can be challenging, but we'll offer an approximate total for fees and associated disbursements. We'll keep you updated about the dedicated professional and their hourly rates on your case. We bill in 6-minute increments.

Factors Impacting Costs

Several aspects might modify the costs:

- Unforeseen changes in your immigration history, personal or financial situations.

- Delays in procuring essential information.

- Inadequate or outdated details provided.

- Pressing deadlines.

- Application complexities.

Should the case complexity increase, we'll update you regarding the potential fee escalation.

Factors Potentially Reducing Costs

- If we've previously represented you.

- Handling multiple applications for a similar entity or family.

- If evidence is provided promptly and you clearly meet the Immigration Rules during our initial meeting.

Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties. In the context of immigration cases, there are various potential disbursements. The exact fees for each can vary based on the jurisdiction, the nature of the application, changes in governmental fees, and other factors.

  1. Document Certification Fees: Fees for getting copies of documents certified as true copies.
  1. Travel Expenses: For attending hearings, interviews, or any other necessary appointments related to the application.

Please note: The exact amount for each disbursement will depend on various factors, including the specific circumstances of the case, any changes in governmental fees, the service provider chosen, and the region or country in which the application is being made. Always ensure to check with the relevant authorities or providers to obtain the most up-to-date and accurate fees.

How long will my application take?

We cannot guarantee how long the Home Office will take to process your application. Read the current processing times.

We will normally be able to submit this type of application within 1 week of you instructing us, provided that you provide all the necesarry information and documentation on the date of instructions, otherwise it is 1 week from the date we receive all the information and documentation needed, but we will let you know at the earliest opportunity if it is likely to take longer than this.

Please note the anticipated number of hours and fees are an estimate based on the facts above. All applications are likely to vary and of course, we can give you a more accurate estimate once we have more information about your specific case.
