Barristers’ fees

Barristers’ fees will be treated in the same way as disbursments. We will negotiate the fees of the barrister for you once it has been decided that a barrister needs to be involved in the case. Barristers’ fees depend on the complexity of the task given to them and their experience and expertise. Barristers will charge VAT in addition to the quoted fee. By way of example:

  • an appearance by a junior barrister at a short preliminary hearing (one to two hours) might cost in the region of £1,000;
  • a senior barrister might charge a fee upwards of £2,000 -£2,500.

How long will it take for a case to Conclude ?

Every application is  different and the exact amount of work involved in each will depend on a number of factors, such as:

  • the basis on which the applicant makes their application e.g. if they are making a spouse visa application, the basis on which they choose to meet the financial requirement;
  • the number of documents that need to be reviewed and submitted in support of an application;
  • whether the applicant is asking discretion to be exercised by the Home Office; and
  • the overall complexity of the case.
  • It generally takes between 6-12 months for a decision from the Home Office.

If we are required to undertake more work and spend additional time working on a case, our legal fees will increase.

We will normally be able to submit applications within two weeks of being provided with all relevant documents needed, and let our clients know at the earliest opportunity if there are any reasons why we anticipate their application will take longer than this to prepare. However, we cannot guarantee how long the Home Office will take to process your application.
