Human Rights

If your family and/or private life is in the UK and you do not want to return to your home country then we can help.

Aschfords Law, has experience in dealing with a wide range of human rights cases, pursuant to the Human Rights Act 1998 and the European Convention on Human Rights. We will also consider your prospects for leave to remain in the UK on a discretionary basis, outside the Immigration Rules, considering your compelling and compassionate circumstances.

Our team of immigration experts can advise you on your best options in order for you and/or your family to be allowed to stay in the UK lawfully.

Professional fees:

Normally, instructions in respect of all UK immigration matters are undertaken on the basis of an agreed fixed fee having consideration of the complexity of the matter and the level of expertise involved. All disbursements are additional such as the Home Office / Visa application fee and Immigration Health Surcharge fee. If we are unable to agree a fixed fee, our standard hourly rate will be £300 plus vat equating to £360 (if applicable).

Our agreed fixed fee usually includes meeting with one of our experienced solicitors to establish the details of your case, advice on your option(s) and merits in the matter, guidance in collating supporting and relevant documents; preparing and submitting the application/representations with the Home Office and advising you on the likely outcome(s) of your matter.

Time scale:

Upon receiving instructions, we will provide you with an initial list of documents. Thereafter, we shall provide a comprehensive list of documents tailored to your individual circumstances. If your matter is urgent it will be dealt with as a priority. As soon as we have received the requested information and supporting documents and we have reviewed your matter, we shall prepare and submit your application with the relevant Immigration department bearing in mind applicable deadlines. The timescale on when a decision will be received will depend on the type of application being made and backlog of the decision making body. It may take 9-12 months to get a decision from the Home Office. We shall keep you informed of the progress of your matter throughout the entire application process.
