SRA Transparency Rules – Pricing and how you pay for Immigration cases 

EA Law’s extensive expertise and experience enable us to identify and address complex immigration issues that can often be stressful and time-consuming. We recognise that both personal and business immigration applications are deeply personal matters. By understanding our clients’ situations and identifying the key issues, we offer customised and bespoke services designed to meet their specific needs and requirements.

Our fees reflect and depend on a wide range of factors, including but not limited to:

• whether you are already living in the UK or are abroad,

• any previous immigration history including previous refusals

• the amount of supporting evidence we have to consider,

• Whether you are applying with other dependants

• the urgency of your case,

• whether you are able to provide the documents necessary for your application speedily, 

• the complexity of your case and

• Home Office processing times, which vary greatly according to the type of application

Please see our fixed fee ranges below. The actual fixed fee will depend on the particular circumstances of your case. The ranges below are for guidance purposes.

What will your case cost?

Our fees will not include any disbursements, such as Home Office fees and Immigration Health Surcharge and are exclusive of Value-Added Tax at 20% (VAT). If a matter is terminated before completion (for example if you are unable to provide documents requested or you withdraw your instructions) we will charge for the time spent at our usual hourly rates.

Any additional work required outside the scope of any fixed fee will be charged on an hourly basis unless otherwise agreed. If such work is required, we will inform you in advance and provide an estimate or a fixed fee.

Fixed fees

In many cases, once we have initially reviewed the position and your situation, we will offer a fixed fee. This means that we may be able to charge you a fixed amount provided that there are no unforeseen complications or significant changes to your instructions.
