Service areas shown here are a proposed structure. The firm’s services and details must be confirmed before publication.
Start with what matters to you.
You may already know the route you are considering—or you may need help understanding where to begin.
- You want to understand when you might be able to settle.
- You are considering applying for British citizenship.
- You are unsure how time outside the UK or your history affects the next step.
Questions that need careful attention.
- Your immigration history and the relevant qualifying route.
- Residence, absences and the evidence required under current rules.
- The separate requirements and implications of a nationality application.
Requirements and available routes can change. Your circumstances and the current rules need individual consideration; this page does not assess your eligibility.
Areas to discuss.
Settlement
Settlement, often called indefinite leave to remain, is different from temporary permission. Routes and requirements depend on individual circumstances.
British citizenship
Citizenship applications are distinct from settlement applications. Eligibility, evidence and consequences must be considered separately.
These are proposed information topics, not confirmation that the firm accepts this work.
The support you may need.
Discuss whether you need an initial consultation, a review of an application, or support preparing and handling a matter. The firm must confirm its available services and the scope of any work.
Before the conversation
- Make a short summary of your circumstances and what you want to achieve.
- Note any relevant dates, decisions or approaching deadlines.
- Do not send sensitive documents in an initial enquiry. Confirm a secure sharing method first.
Understand the scope and cost.
Consultation price, duration, written advice, professional fees and exclusions are not yet supplied. Government charges, other costs and applicable VAT must be identified separately.
