Immigration Solicitors
When you or a family member is seeking to visit, join family, or secure residency in the UK, our specialist Immigration Consultant Solicitor can provide expert, personalised advice at every stage of the process. We understand that each immigration matter is unique, and that the stakes are high. That is why we take the time to understand your circumstances in full, identify the most appropriate application route, and give you the clearest possible advice from the outset.
Our Consultant Solicitor, Naila Kosar, brings extensive experience across the full spectrum of UK immigration law, including partner and family visas, settlement, naturalisation, human rights applications, asylum, deportation and removal, and business immigration. Her consultancy is now focused on a specialist range of services, ensuring that every client benefits from a concentrated depth of knowledge, a high standard of personal attention, and a proven track record of success.
Naila’s clients include individuals and families at all stages of the immigration journey, many of whom return to her for further advice and recommend her to others. Her high success rate reflects both her technical expertise and her commitment to getting applications right first time.
How Can Our Specialist Immigration Consultant Help?
Naila Kosar advises and represents clients across the following specialist areas:
Partner, Fiancé or Spouse Visa UK
A Partner Visa, sometimes referred to as a UK Marriage Visa or Spouse Visa, is a settlement visa designed for the partner of a British citizen or a person settled in the UK. The initial visa is typically granted for two and a half years and can be extended for a further two and a half years, with settlement achievable after five years of continuous residence.
Naila provides a complete service for spouse, civil partner, unmarried partner, and proposed civil partner (fiancé) applications, guiding you through the eligibility requirements, evidential requirements, and the application process from start to finish.
Family Visa Applications
Bringing family to the UK or remaining in the UK on the basis of family life, can be complex. Naila advises on a range of family routes, including:
- Visitor visas for family members wishing to visit the UK
- Adult dependent relative applications
- Child dependent applications and the parent route
- joining family already settled in the UK
Each application requires careful attention to the relevant Immigration Rules and, where applicable, the requirements of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Naila brings detailed knowledge of both to every case.
Human Rights Applications
Where an application engages the right to respect for private and family life under Article 8 ECHR, a carefully constructed human rights claim can be decisive. Naila advises on human rights-based applications both within and outside the Immigration Rules, including cases involving long residence, family life, or other compelling or compassionate circumstances.
Indefinite Leave to Remain and Settled Status
Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) is the gateway to permanent residence in the UK, giving you the right to live and work here without any time restriction. It is often the final step before British citizenship. Naila advises clients on all routes to ILR and settled status, including those based on long residence, partnership, or other qualifying categories, ensuring that applications are submitted with the right evidence and at the right time.
British Citizenship and Naturalisation
Naturalisation is the process by which a foreign national can apply to become a British citizen and is typically the final milestone in the UK immigration journey. Naila advises on eligibility, the good character requirement, and the naturalisation application process, providing thorough support to ensure your application gives you the best possible chance of success.
Appeals and Judicial Review
If your immigration application has been refused, there are a number of ways to challenge that decision. Naila advises on statutory appeals to the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal, as well as applications for permission to bring Judicial Review proceedings in cases where a right of appeal is not available or where the decision involves a question of law. Early advice is essential in appeal and challenge cases, as strict time limits apply.
Funding Your Immigration Case
Legal Aid
Naila’s consultancy operates on a private fee basis. Legal Aid is not available through this service. If you believe you may be eligible for Legal Aid, you can check your eligibility at www.gov.uk/check-legal-aid.
Legal Fees
Naila will always explain the costs of your case clearly at the outset, so you know exactly what to expect. Where possible, a fixed or agreed fee will be offered. In more complex cases, staged fee estimates will be provided.
Initial Consultation
All cases begin with an initial consultation, during which Naila will gather details of your circumstances, explain the relevant Immigration Rules, and advise on the appropriate application route, the documents required, and the applicable Home Office fees.
The initial consultation fee is £250 plus VAT (if applicable) and covers all of the specialist areas listed above.
Application Checking Service
If you have prepared your own application and would like a specialist solicitor to review it before submission, our checking service is designed for you. Naila will provide detailed written feedback on your application and supporting documents, identifying any gaps or issues before you submit.
The fee for this service is in the region of £600 to £800 plus VAT, depending on the type and complexity of the application.
Full Application Service
For clients who want comprehensive support from start to finish, Naila will manage the entire application process on your behalf. This includes advising on the relevant requirements, assembling your application and supporting documents, and maintaining clear communication with you throughout.
Indicative fees for the full application service are as follows:
- Partner, spouse, civil partner, fiancé, unmarried partner, and family applications: £1,800 to £2,200 plus VAT
- Naturalisation and British citizenship applications: £1,200 to £1,500 plus VAT
A fixed fee will be agreed once Naila has full details of your individual circumstances.
VAT
Whether VAT applies to your matter depends on your location and immigration status. Naila will clarify this at the outset of your case.
Other Costs
The fees quoted above do not include:
- Home Office application fees, which are paid directly to UKVI
- Advice on appeals arising from a refusal of an application
- Interpreter costs where required
Payment plans may be available. Please contact us to discuss your circumstances.
