Immigration Solicitors in Manchester

Our solicitors have many years of experience in handling immigration matters. At the initial consultation you can tell us about your immigration matter and we will advise you on the merits of your case.

Our team

Our specialist immigration solicitors have years of experience in immigration law, and our senior immigration solicitor has worked in this area for more than 15 years.

Our solicitors have experience in all aspects of immigration law and we make sure our knowledge stays up to date, so that we can give you the best service possible. We always make sure that junior solicitors and staff are supported and supervised appropriately, so the quality of advice is not affected, whoever is working on your case.

Our paralegals do much of the day-to-day work on cases. Although they are not legally qualified, they have received extensive training within the firm and work under the direct supervision of a solicitor with at least 10 years' post-qualification experience.

What our work includes

The work depends on the matter and how complex it is, but typically involves:

• Taking your initial instructions, discussing your circumstances in detail, confirming whether this is the most appropriate application and what other options may be available
• Advising you on the requirements of the relevant rules and how you meet, or can meet, the criteria
• Explaining the evidence needed to support the application and the application process
• Considering your supporting evidence and drafting the application form
• Where necessary, helping to obtain further evidence such as bank letters and statements
• Preparing the application for submission, including booking your biometrics appointment
• Drafting a detailed letter of representations setting out how you meet the requirements
• Advising you on submitting your application and helping you prepare for an interview if one is needed
• Advising you on the outcome and how to comply with your immigration conditions

How long will my matter take?

We will normally be able to submit your application within 2 to 4 weeks of you instructing us, but we will let you know at the earliest opportunity if it is likely to take longer. The time taken depends on the complexity of your case and how quickly we receive the supporting evidence from you.

We cannot guarantee how long the Home Office will take to decide your application. You can check the current processing times on GOV.UK. In-country appeals are usually heard within 3 to 6 months; overseas appeals usually take between 12 and 18 months.
