FEES & PRICING

Immigration rates

Transparent immigration fee ranges from Clearview Solicitors in Rochdale. We are not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to pay on our costs.

Our approach

Clear costs you can plan aroundbefore your case begins

We are transparent about our fees and will give our best estimate at the outset, so that you can remain in control of the funding.

It helps if, at our first meeting, you can bring the evidence needed to meet the applicable Immigration Rules. This speeds up the process and helps keep costs at the lower end of the range.
