What is the Full Representation Service?
Full Representation is the most comprehensive support we offer: an IAA-regulated adviser takes on your UK immigration application from initial strategy to final decision. Whether you are applying for a visa, an extension, Indefinite Leave to Remain or British citizenship, we handle the whole process on your behalf.
That includes detailed advice, a full review of your circumstances, preparation of your documentary evidence, a drafted letter of legal representation, submission of your application, and liaison with the Home Office until a decision is reached, keeping you informed at every stage.
Scope of the service. Full representation covers the preparation, submission and management of your application. Where an application was previously refused, we advise on the strongest fresh application.
What full representation includes
- An eligibility assessment and legal advice on the strongest route for you
- A clear, transparent breakdown of all fees, including Home Office charges
- A tailored document checklist and a professional review of your evidence
- Preparation and submission of your online application to UKVI standards
- A structured letter of representation setting out how you meet the Immigration Rules
- Management of all Home Office correspondence, with progress updates
- Post-decision advice on your status and your next steps
