Public Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

If you made an application for a spouse visa, it could take the Home Office up to 12 weeks make a decision. At present, most applicants are experiencing delays due to an influx of applications and recent changes to the way the the financial requirement can be met.

In any event, please feel free to contact us should the process delay more than the standard processing time of 12 weeks.

Best wishes

I want to express my gratitude for the exceptional support provided by Sanae Sahebjalal, in my family extension visa application. Sanae demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism, making the intricate process seamless and stress-free. Her clear communication, attention to detail, and proactive approach ensured I was well-informed at every step. What truly sets Sanae apart is her genuine empathy and dedication. She not only understands the legal aspects but also cares deeply about the well-being of her clients and their families. A heartfelt thank you, Sanae, for your unwavering dedication and support.

Hans is incredible - look nowhere else !! My parents experience has been sensational . They have asked me to leave this review on their behalf . They had a very difficult case and were concerned about their future and Hans assisted them with a positive outcome which we thought could take years to resolve . From start to finish he and his colleagues had a one to one zoom call with us and then provided their advice and next steps . The best thing about Hans is he is always in contact , even in the evenings but this isn’t the only reason why he’s amazing , it is how articulate and how much care and thought they have put into the case that they managed to secure success . Hans you’re an asset to the firm and keep going and changing peoples’ lives . We couldn’t have done it without you . Anyone seeking advice and comfort , this firm , especially Hans has such an incredible reputation and will not let you down . Thank you Case Workers: Hans Sok Appadu

My solicitor Maryem has been amazing. She helped me through the entire visa application process, answered all my queries and doubts and supported me in getting the right documents required for the spousal visa application. She also helped me get everything together and reviewed for submission quickly and accurately. Thanks so much OTS/Maryem Case Workers: Maryem Ahmed
What can I say, we've been working with Dhaya since early 2023 who, after a failed fiancé visa when we did it ourselves made the process easy and stress free, she explained the process every step of the way after the panic that we might not get my fiancés visa in time for our wedding but with Dhaya's help it was approved with months to spare. In August after our wedding she worked on the spouse VISA conversion with us and was frankly amazing, even making herself available late on a Sunday evening to go through the application on our return from out honeymoon as we need to get the application in so we could get the VISA to allow my now wife to begin work. From application to receiving the residence permit was 7 days (we used the super priority service), this included waiting for an biometric appointment and waiting for the BRP to be posted out. We will be using again in 2026 when the VISA is up for renewal. Case Workers: Dhaya T Kathiravan
