Processing times vary significantly by visa type and service level:
Priority and super priority services are available for most application types at additional cost (£500-£800). Processing times can be longer during peak periods or if the Home Office requests additional information. We monitor all applications and chase delays proactively.

Common DIY errors include:
Our 97% success rate compared to approximately 75-80% for DIY applications shows the value of professional help. Given that refusals mean losing application fees (£1,000-£10,000+) and delays of 6-12 months, our fixed fees are a worthwhile investment.

You CANNOT switch inside the UK:
