As my visitor visa was refused twice, I decided to use a solicitor who is accredited by the society of law to assist me.

I asked him what he will do. He said he will review my refusals and prepare my application so that it meets the requirements and then he will apply on my behalf. He also added that I might get refusal again and in this situation he will go for juicidial review.

My question is: is it safe to let him apply on my behalf?

Shouldn't I see the application before he applies so that I can be sure he is not missing anything which may negatively affect me? Should I ask him to offer a legal representation letter?

As it's my first time to do such a thing, can anyone tell me how the process will go on? What are things that I should take care about?

The visa is very important for me because I am going to take an exam which will allow me to be a doctor in UK, so I want to proceed with extreme caution.

If you hire an adviser regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC), then it should be reasonably safe to engage their services. Your adviser must give you a letter immediately after you hire them saying:

  • what work they’re doing for you

  • how much you’ll be charged

  • how you’ll pay them

You have a right to see the submission. Tell the adviser that you want to do this before you engage their services and ask them to confirm their agreement to your request in writing. If they don’t agree or seem reluctant, find another adviser.
