★★★★★Compliment of the season, I want to thank Dipendra for his hard work and effort ensuring that my mum visa application was successful . I must confess that the customer service was amazing and I had good experience with your company. When ever I had any appointments in your office, I was welcome in with a smile. I received a positive and excellent customer service with your company compass immigration law and all my request was sorted out. You took things a step further to ensure that all the documents were completed and supported me throughout the visa application from the beginning to the end and my mum has received her Uk visa. I am grateful for the support given to me. Thank you Kindly Chioma Gloria.
★★★★★Compass Immigration has been an incredible resource and guidance for our journey with UK immigration. They gave us peace of mind about the best path forward and gave us the support we needed to make our journey as smooth as possible. For the third time, Compass guided me to a successful application and visa approval and I am incredibly grateful. They are true advocates for their clients. Giving honest options every step of the way. I have also recommended Compass Immigration to a few friends and family that needed the same UK immigration advice. I will continue to utilize their expertise in the future. They are tremendous champions for those that strive for life in the U.K.
★★★★★We would highly recommend the firm, our solicitor Georgette was great and genuinely wanted to help us. She was professional and easy to communicate with. We felt that she cared and showed empathy throughout the process and didn't treat it as just another job. My husband got his entry spouse visa.
★★★★★I would like to say that, I've been using the services of Compass Immigration Law ongoing for over several years having been recommended by a friend.. My return business is simply because of the level of professionalism, expertise knowledge on all immigration matters, honesty, transparency and the importance of feeling like an individual and not just a number. I'm totally indebted to them for everything they've done not only for my family but also close friends. There is no other firm that I would recommend when it comes to getting the job done. Everything they touch is GOLD.

Different immigration categories have different income thresholds. There may be a minimum income threshold that could be met through savings, or through a combination of both. The figures often change so we check the current requirements against your evidence before you apply.
There are limits on how many days you can have spent outside the UK during the qualifying period, and a tighter limit for the final year. The Home Office can sometimes exercise discretion over excess absences, but not always.
The Home Office publishes a processing time, and a priority service is sometimes available. We tell you the current position when you instruct us.
Different lawyers charge different amounts. Our fixed fees are published on our fees page. You will always know the figure before you instruct us.
