Look for a solicitor or immigration adviser with relevant experience in your type of application, such as visas, asylum, family routes or appeals. Check that a solicitor is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), and ask about their experience, likely timescales, fees and what is included before instructing them. You can compare firms in Leeds using the SRA’s register and seek recommendations, but check any advice against the latest information on GOV.UK. A regulated professional can assess your circumstances and explain the available options, although no application outcome can be guaranteed.
