How long will it take for my case to be processed?
Each case is different. The time it takes depends on a number of factors, most importantly the number of applications the immigration post receives and the difficulty they have in confirming your information. Cases are processed in the order in which they are received. The average processing times are stated and updated by the immigration authorities, however the time could be much shorter or much longer.

Do you guarantee processing times?
Many factors are involved in processing times. Also the availability to process the applications as well can become a factor. ATG  will give you the estimated time we feel an application may take based on our experience but to guarantee a time is simply impossible and anyone who promises otherwise is not be completely truthful and forthcoming.

When are translations necessary?
Translations are necessary when your documents are not in English (and do not contain an English version of their contents) . While in the UK your documents may be translated by a certified expert or notary. For clients abroad, we recommend you have translations done by a certified translator or notary in your home country, as this will be cheaper than having us find a translator for you in the UK. However, if this is not possible, we can arrange to have your documents translated in the UK.
