SAME DAY VISA EXTENSION, SAME DAY TRANSFER OF STATUS AND SAME DAY SETTLEMENT APPLICATIONS You can have your visa extended, visa transferred into a new passport or Settlement visa granted through the same day service. That is when your application can be lodged by your or by your lawyer to the UK Border Agency and the application is normally considered in one day, usually within a few hours. Legal Centre's lawyers are duly accredited with the Home Office as Legal Representatives and have been successfully lodging same day/fast track visa application on behalf of their clients. If a problem or some uncertainty arises our lawyers can interact with the UK Border Agency caseworker and direct him or her at the relevant documents or issues. It is worth noting that if the UK Border Agency cannot formally refuse your application and, if they are not able to reach a decision on the day of the application, advise to lodge an application by post. The UK Border Agency can only deal with certain, straightforward and under the Rules applications during the same day service. The UK Border Agency's fee is more expensive for the same day service applications. All visa extension and transfer of status categories now require biometric capture and therefore you (and your family members, if any) will be required to also attend the UK Border Agency in person to be fingerprinted. Also most of the visa extensions now will result not in a visa endorsed in your passport, but a separate plastic ID (BRP) card being issued. Postal applications take more time to be considered with the consideration time may well be in excess of 3 or more moths. The UK Border Agency's fee is less expensive, if compared with the same day service applications. In most circumstances we may able to prepare and lodge your visa extension, transfer of your visa into a new passport or Settlement application 5 days a week, Monday to Friday, through the local UK Border Agency Public Enquiry Office (PEO Solihull). It does not normally matter where in the UK you live and how many dependent family members you have, as you are currently are not required to attend during your Settlement application is your application is represented by our lawyers. Alternatively, we can prepare and lodge your Settlement application by post. The above options are not exhaustive as we treat every client's case individually.
