Once again, QC Immigration managed to help me with my visa extension. Without them, I'd have to deal with the stress of doing the application on my own. We made the right choice of continuing to work with QC Immigration. Thank you so much!!!

Having engaged QC Immigration to support my citizenship application I could not have been more satisfied with the service. My case was handled consistently by the same person. Ligia guided me through the process and made it all very simple. Any questions I had along the way were answered promptly. I have been putting off my application for years feeling overwhelmed by the bureaucracy involved. With QC Immigration support I was able to secure a successful outcome quickly and with no stress whatsoever. Charge for the service was very reasonable considering the quality of support and the responsiveness.

Scott C.
I recently engaged the services of QC Immigration to assist me in getting my first British passport. I applied from outside the British Isles and my situation was somewhat complex. Ninder and Dorota from QC treated me with the utmost of professionalism and courtesy. They took the time to review and explain my situation, and guide me through the steps of the application process, ensuring that my application stayed on track. With their expert assistance, my application was processed smoothly by HMPO and I received my new passport with no issues. I would highly recommend the services of QC Immigration to anyone who needs assistance navigating immigration, citizenship, or a VISA application to the UK.

We couldn’t be happier with QC Immigration. My partner and I applied for the UK Unmarried Partner Visa from Italy and received the decision in only 5 days after the biometrics appointment: truly incredible. Dorota followed us with exceptional kindness and professionalism, always available and supportive despite the large amount of documents we had to prepare. A special thank you also to Ninder! We felt fully supported and reassured throughout the entire process. We are over the moon and extremely grateful. Absolutely recommended!

Anamaria C.
I am deeply grateful to Ninder J. for her invaluable support regarding my son’s citizenship application. After waiting for over a year without progress, she kindly advised me to reach out to our regional MP for assistance. Thanks to her guidance, the application was successfully reviewed and resolved. What stands out most is that Ninder offered this advice freely, without charging, simply as a gesture of good citizenship and genuine care. Her professionalism, generosity, and commitment to helping others truly impressed me. I wholeheartedly recommend Ninder J. to anyone seeking honest, knowledgeable, and compassionate legal guidance. Her support made a real difference for my family, and I will always be thankful.

Ramzi H.
I want to thank QC Immigration, especially Dorota, and Ninder for their great support. My case wasn’t easy at all – I had received a refusal with a 10-year ban because the Home Office considered one of my documents suspicious. It was a very stressful time, but Dorota took over my application and handled everything with so much care and attention. She always explained things clearly, kept me updated . What really makes Dorota special is not only her professionalism, but also her passion and the way she genuinely cares. She fought hard for fairness in my case. After months of waiting, I finally received a positive outcome, and I am sure this wouldn’t have happened without her. I’m truly grateful to Dorota. If you are looking for someone who is not only highly professional but also kind, supportive, and truly dedicated, I can’t recommend her enough.

Durga P.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Incredible Expertise and Compassion – Deepest Thanks to QC Immigration and Ligia W. for Entry Clearance of UK We are beyond grateful to QC Immigration for helping us secure dependant child visas in what was a deeply personal and complex case involving sole parental responsibility and detailed custody arrangements. From the very first step, Xiaohan Z. showed empathy and professionalism, carefully listening to our situation and assigning our case to the most suitable expert — Ligia W.. Words cannot fully express our appreciation for Ligia’s outstanding dedication, knowledge, and precision. She took complete ownership of the case, understood every emotional and legal nuance, and guided us through a very demanding process with patience and incredible attention to detail. Her ability to translate complex family circumstances into a clear, compelling legal case made all the difference. The way Ligia responded to the Home Office’s evidence request — with such completeness, organisation, and clarity — gave us confidence even during the most anxious moments. Because of her, our case was not only properly understood but fully respected by the decision makers. We received the visas shortly after submission, and it would not have been possible without her expertise. Ligia is truly exceptional — a solicitor who combines legal excellence with deep compassion. We will always be thankful for her role in reuniting our family and securing our children’s future. If you're dealing with complex family or dependant visa matters, look no further than QC Immigration — and ask for Ligia if you can. She’s truly the best. — Durga

A refusal can cost more than money

A refused Visa or Citizenship application can mean a lost application fee, months of additional waiting and the cost of starting again. Getting the application right first time matters.

Already refused? See refusals and appeals →

A Skilled Worker visa, refused once

  • Application fee lost Overseas application, over 3 years. £1,618 normally non-refundable
  • IHS tied up Refunded after refusal, but not immediately. Up to 6 weeks for the refund
  • Time lost Understand the refusal, fix it, prepare fresh evidence. Start again then await a new decision
  • Added complexity The next application may need to address the refusal reasons. More to resolve before reapplying

Illustrative examples based on Home Office fees effective 8 April 2026. Circumstances vary.

Received a refusal and on a deadline?

Appeals must usually be lodged within 14 days if you're in the UK, 28 days if you're outside. Send us the refusal letter and we'll tell you the next best step forward.

Frequently asked questions

Which UK visa or immigration route is right for me?

The right route depends on your circumstances, your plans and where you are now. We'll look at your situation, explain the options available and flag any potential issues before you decide how to proceed.

How much will my immigration application cost?

The total cost depends on the route and can include legal fees, Home Office fees and other charges. After understanding your situation, we'll explain the likely costs clearly and give you a quote for our work before you instruct us.

How long will my UK visa or immigration application take?

Processing times vary depending on the route, where you apply from and the circumstances of your application. We'll explain the likely timeframe at the outset, tell you if a faster service may be available and help you prepare properly to avoid unnecessary delays.

What happens if my visa application is refused?

A refusal doesn't necessarily mean the end of the matter. Depending on the decision, you may be able to make a new application, request a review or appeal. We can review the refusal, explain your options and advise you on the most appropriate next step.

Do I really need an immigration lawyer to apply?

You can make many immigration applications yourself, but the rules and evidence requirements can be complex and mistakes can be costly. A lawyer can help you understand whether you meet the requirements, identify problems before you apply and make sure your application is properly prepared. We'll also tell you if we think professional representation isn't necessary for your situation.
