"Thank you so much for all your support and hard work throughout my immigration process. I truly appreciate your professionalism and dedication in helping me obtain my permanent residency. I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me. I advise anyone needing permanent residency in the UK or any immigration-related documents to contact Alexander Boyd."
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. If you've had a previous refusal, entered the UK illegally, claimed asylum, had any immigration law breaches, prior convictions or any other adverse immigration history, please book a consultation first. These cases may need additional work and a separate quotation, and we'll recommend the right route.

If you or your child have built a private life in the UK but don’t yet have a secure immigration route, you may qualify for leave to remain under Appendix Private Life. This application allows you to remain in the UK legally on the basis of your long-term residence and ties.
At Alexander Boyd Solicitors, our fixed-fee package (£1,499 incl. VAT, per person) covers the application work listed in the package, whether this is your first application or an extension of existing leave.

Young adults (18–24) – have lived in the UK for at least half of their life.
Adults (25+) – have lived continuously in the UK for at least 20 years, or for fewer than 20 years but would face very significant obstacles to reintegration in their country of origin.
Children born in the UK – to a parent with permission under the Private Life route.
