This tariff is most suitable if you don’t want the stress of making the application yourself.
We will lead the process by advising you on the legal requirements, how you can meet them, and what documents you need to send to us to evidence this. We can have unlimited consultations and correspondence.
We will complete the application form on your behalf, and advise how the application is looking. We will also review all your documents and advise what changes or further documents may be required to maximize success.
We will work with you to ensure all the relevant criteria are met, and flag any areas of risk which we need to address, and how to go about this.
You will see the draft application before it is finalised, and we will only submit it once you confirm you are happy with everything.
We then upload your documents, and remain on hand to answer any queries or concerns you may have, up until the point you have your visa in your hand.
Make an informed decision: Do you really need an immigration adviser?
This tariff is more suitable if you are confident in making the application yourself, but just need the assurance of a final check from us, prior to submission.
This is a single, one-off consultation, to check an application you have prepared yourself. You would prepare the application form and all supporting documents yourself. You would then send us the PDF draft application, downloaded from the UK government site, plus all the documents you propose to submit in your application, along with any questions, prior to the consultation.
We would then check the draft application form, and review all supporting documents. We would schedule a call with you, where we would highlight any areas of potential risk in your application, and make recommendations for how you might address these risks, or improve the overall presentation of the application. The consultation is your opportunity to ask any further questions about the application.
We would then email you a written report, setting out our recommendations and comments on your application, so you would have a clear action plan for cleaning up the application.
The emphasis of the Application Checking Service is to direct you to the relevant rules and guidance, and to explain and interpret the parts which are relevant to your application, in order to empower you with the information you need, to take the application forward yourself.
To reiterate, the application checking service is a one-off consultation. We cannot enter into an ongoing dialogue about requirements prior to the consultation. Therefore, this tariff is suitable only for people who are reasonably confident in making the application themselves, but who want the assurance that the application will be checked by a professional, prior to submission.
We will complete the application check within 3 working days from the point of receiving all your documents for checking.
Make an informed decision: Do you really need an immigration adviser?
We do things differently at O&S Immigration. You can probably tell that by our name.
We are cheaper because we choose to be. We are cheaper because we choose to be accessible for those who may not otherwise be able to afford professional immigration services. And this ethos is at the core of our business and our professional values.
Our fees are also clear and transparent, and listed on our website.
15-minute initial consultations are free, and subject to our availability. We can signpost your eligibility for a particular visa, or residence permit, and explain which visa route would be the best fit for you, and how you can qualify for it.
We care about your application, and we are personally invested in your visa success. That's why we offer a no-win, no-fee guarantee on family visa applications via the full application service. Subject to an initial consultation (which is free), and providing all the documents that we request. If the application fails, and you were transparent with us and followed our advice and recommendations throughout the process, then we will refund our fee. This does not include fees paid to UKVI or their partner agencies. We are therefore incentivized to win your case, or else we earn nothing.
If you initially opt for the Application Checking Service, and later decide you wish to upgrade to the Full Application Service, then you only need to pay the difference between the two fees.
All fees are fixed, regardless of the complexity of your case, or the hours we may spend on your application. Once our fee is agreed, this is what you will pay.
If your application is particularly urgent, we can work evenings and weekends to get it done for you. Working out of hours will attract additional fees which are to be agreed.
We recognise the burden of Home Office fees, particularly for those on specified benefits. Ask us about available discounts.
We do not charge Value Added Tax (VAT) on our services, and this makes our services even better value for the client.
