Leave to Remain Extensions

Get Your Visa Extension Right First Time

An error, missing document or missed deadline when extending your leave can have serious consequences — including overstaying, losing your right to work, or jeopardising your path to indefinite leave to remain.

At Norman Lawson & Co. in Glasgow, we prepare all types of leave to remain extension applications with precision. We review your eligibility, gather the correct evidence, and submit an application that gives you the best possible chance of success.

Apply before your current leave expires

If you apply before your visa expires you will usually have 3C leave, allowing you to continue living and working while the Home Office decides. Apply at least three months before expiry.

How We Handle Your Visa Extension

1

Initial Assessment

We review your current leave, immigration history and circumstances to confirm the correct route and whether you meet all requirements.

2

Evidence Gathering

We provide a detailed document checklist and advise on any gaps. Good evidence is the difference between a quick approval and a refusal.

3

Application Preparation

We complete all forms, draft supporting statements where needed, and carry out a thorough quality check before submission.

4

Submission & Follow-Up

We submit your application and keep you updated. If the Home Office requests further information, we handle the response.
