How Long Will My Visa Application Take?
This usually depends on the type of visa category you apply for and also whether you are in the UK or in your home country.
Out of country applications (your home/residential country) depends on the volume of applications received at the relevant visa sections. Therefore visa processing times can differ from each location.
However if the visa category you apply for allows extra services such as ‘Priority Service’, The Mobile Visa Application Centre, ‘Self Service Kiosk System’, ‘Premium lounge services’ etc; we can advise you about this at a later stage.
I Was Previously Refused A Visa For The UK, So What Can I do?
Adverse affects of a previously refused visa application, does not necessarily mean that you cannot re-apply for another visa in the same category, or different category.
The reasons for refusal should be carefully addressed and assessed as to whether resubmitting a new application in the same category or different one would cause any further harm to your immigration history.
There are however, some exceptions; if a person submitted an application and provided documents obtained by an illegitimate method or in another words ‘false documents’ or mis- representation of material facts or where there is clear evidence of dishonesty or deception in an application then this can be a cause for concern.
Nevertheless it is still worth making contacting to discuss the matter further in order to ascertain all circumstances in this case.
I’m Already In The UK, But How Can I Change My Visa Category?
If you are already in the UK and due to your circumstances you need to change your visa category, then you will need to apply to the Home Office (UK Immigration Department) to change the status of your visa category.
However you must bear in mind that if you are in the UK as a ‘Visitor/Tourist’ you cannot change your visa status to another category. In any case you should seek legal advice for further guidance before proceeding to make an application to the Home Office.

If you think that you may have overstayed your visa in the UK, you must immediately seek legal advice to establish whether this is the case; we would assess your matter and advise you the best possible and prompt actions you should take to avoid being classed as an ‘overstayer’.
