ILR: Apply on my own OR use solicitor, which would be better

Post by smkamran » Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:27 pm

I have to apply for my ILR next month. I have 2 motoring offences and my application is based on Tier 1 and 2 work permits.

As per requirement I have all the paperwork.

Some friends are suggesting using Solicitor to apply on my behalf to be on safe side. I personally think I should just go on my own.

ANY recommendation guys ...... any advice is appreciated...

Thanks in advance

If your application is straight forward, you are not in hurry and your can get PEO appointment than by all means you should apply personally as it will save your lot of money.
But if you application is not that straight forward or you need ILR urgently, applying via solicitors is a good option as they normally have slots with HO and can work on your application quickly.Ofcourse at a handsome cost.

thx chetanojha.

I thought apply in person (premium same day service) my self is much faster than solicitor. Is it not the case?

What about motoring offences (not major) ? Does that fall in a non-straight forward category?

Kind Regards
