If you are married to a British citizen or a person with settled status, the Spouse Visa allows you to enter or remain in the UK. You must prove a genuine relationship, meet financial requirements (£29,000 income threshold), and show English language ability. This visa typically leads to permanent settlement after five years.

The Civil Partner Visa is for those in a registered civil partnership. Similar to the Spouse Visa, it requires proof of a genuine relationship, financial independence, and adequate accommodation. It allows a stay of 2.5 years initially, with the right to work and study in the UK.

If you intend to marry or form a civil partnership in the UK, you may apply for a Fiancé(e) Visa or Proposed Civil Partner Visa. These visas are valid for six months and require you to marry or register your partnership within that time. Afterward, you can switch to a Spouse or Civil Partner Visa.

Frequently Asked

Common questions, answered honestly.

Immigration law is rarely simple. Here are the questions we hear most often. If yours isn’t here — just ask.

What's included in the free consultation?

The free initial consultation is a 20–30 minute call with Tajammal. We’ll discuss your immigration matter, give you an honest view of your options, and explain how we can help. There’s no obligation to proceed. You’ll leave the call with clarity on your situation — even if we’re not the right fit.

Processing times vary significantly depending on the type of application and current Home Office workload. Some visa types have standard service times of 3–8 weeks; others can take longer. We’ll give you an honest timeline estimate based on your specific case type — and there are priority services available for some applications.

A refusal is not necessarily the end of the road. Depending on the type of decision, you may be able to request an Administrative Review, appeal the decision to the Immigration Tribunal, or reapply with a stronger application. We review refusal letters carefully and advise on the most appropriate route — sometimes reapplying directly is the right move, sometimes challenging the decision is.

Absolutely. The majority of our work is conducted remotely. We advise clients throughout the UK and can assist applicants currently overseas who need UK immigration advice. All consultations can be done by phone or video call, and documents are handled securely online.

We are a regulated law firm. Tajammal is a qualified solicitor, regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). This means higher professional standards, stronger consumer protections, access to the Legal Ombudsman, and full professional indemnity insurance. An OISC-registered immigration adviser can assist with some matters, but a solicitor can handle the full range — including complex cases, appeals, and judicial review.

The documents required vary by application type. After your initial consultation, we’ll send you a clear, personalised checklist so you know exactly what to gather. Nothing vague. We’ll also flag anything likely to raise questions and advise on how to address it proactively.

Yes — we offer fixed-fee pricing for most standard immigration matters. For complex or multi-stage cases, we discuss a clear cost estimate before starting. You’ll never receive an unexpected invoice. All fees are agreed in writing before any work begins.
