"Alexander's services have been outstanding. I recently applied for a skilled worker visa and got the decision within 3 working days from having the biometrics, the fastest decision ever. He has always been professional, easy to contact and good at reassuring us. Alexander also got me through indefinite leave to remain and my British citizenship without any problems. 100% recommended, will definitely use him again."
What your fixed fee does and doesn't cover
The advertised fixed fee is per person and covers the standard legal work specifically described in this package. It does not include third-party costs, translations, interpreters, expert reports, counsel/advocate/barrister fees or substantial additional work outside the agreed scope unless expressly stated.
Additional work arising after submission, including correspondence or complaints concerning Home Office delays, is not automatically included in the fixed fee. We may undertake such work without additional charge at our discretion, but where substantial additional work is required a separate fee may apply.
This fixed fee is for standard applications. The points-based system has many routes with different rules. If you're not sure which one fits, or you've had a previous refusal, prior convictions or any other adverse immigration history, book a consultation first. These cases may need additional work and a separate quotation, and we'll recommend the right route.

Hiram Quiñones Rodríguez: “Alexander services have been outstanding. I wish I knew about him before because I would have done all my visas applications through him. Alexander has been very helpful since day one. I just recently applied for skilled worker visa and got the decision within 3 working days from having the biometrics, the fastest decision ever. Alexander has always been very professional, easy to contact and very good at reassuring and making sure we have everything we need on time for the application. 100% recommended, will definitely use him again.
Alexander got me through indefinite leave to remain and my British citizenship without any problems. Strongly recommended. I would give 20 stars if I could. Thank you so much for all of your help. I really appreciate everything you have done for me.“
