- In some circumstances the anticipated costs may exceed the quoted range. A breakdown of estimated costs, for our own fees and any third party, is provided in our Client Care Letter.
- How long a Home Office application takes depends on the volume of evidence, missing documents, any language barrier and whether you apply with dependants. The timing of the Home Office decision is outside our control.
