Discretionary applications

We often assist clients in cases where no workable solution appears to exist under the current Immigration Rules and identify potential areas of law that can be challenged. Our talented team is experienced at obtaining discretionary approval for challenging applications, for example in cases where a migrant might have overstayed or does not technically meet the requirements.
