FAQ
Answers before you ask.
Tell us your situation and we will tell you plainly which route fits — or whether you already have a right you did not know about. First enquiry is always free.
Free AssessmentHow long does it take?
It depends on the route. Standard Home Office processing for family applications runs to about 24 weeks from outside the UK, or 8 weeks from inside. Priority Service can cut that to roughly 30 or 5 working days for an additional Home Office fee. Settlement and naturalisation timings differ again — we give you the current figure for your route at the consultation.
What documents will I need?
It depends on your history. Family and settlement applications rest on four pillars: the financial requirement, proof of relationship, accommodation, and English language. You get a checklist built for your case, not a generic list.
Can I include my family?
Usually yes. Minor children can be included as dependants, and some children have a direct right to register as British citizens — which is often cheaper and permanent. We check that first.
Is there a risk of refusal?
Yes, and anyone who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. The Home Office has no tolerance for missing documents or errors. What professional support does is find and fix the weaknesses before submission, not guarantee a result.
Do you work online?
Entirely. Consultations are by video call, and documents go through an encrypted client portal where you can also track your case in real time. Very little needs to happen by phone.
Can you help me if I am not in the UK?
Yes. Because the service is digital, where you live is not a barrier. We act for clients applying from outside the UK and for those already in it, in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.
