Immigration laws in the post-Brexit era continue to create uncertainty.

If our extensive experience in the area has taught us one thing, it’s that every case is different and needs to be handled accordingly. As such, Branch Austin McCormick’s immigration team takes the time to speak to you on an initial call about your individual case circumstances — free of charge — to understand what your case relates to, its strengths, weaknesses and the practical steps we can take to overcome those weaknesses. We then provide an agreement to carry out your work with a fixed fee payable until a certain point in your application (usually a decision by the Home Office or relevant adjudicator).

Once instructed, we deliver a streamlined and partner-led service, building our team around your individual circumstances and adhering to your time frames. Our cases are managed from inception to outcome with clear and concise steps to ultimately provide you with a seamless experience to ensure that your case is resolved efficiently.
