Quick answer: is there an immigration lawyer close to Rushden?
Yes. Immigration Inn is based at 93 Ford End Road, Bedford MK40 4JT, around 12 miles south of Rushden along the A6. Basharat Hussain, regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (Ref F201800051), meets Rushden clients in person or by phone and video, and all 12+ immigration services carry fixed fees starting from £150.
Over the county line from Northamptonshire, straight down the A6
Rushden sits in the Nene Valley in North Northamptonshire, next to the neighbouring market town of Higham Ferrers. It grew as a boot and shoe town, and although only a handful of shoemakers remain, firms such as Sanders and Sanders still make boots for the British Army. Since July 2017 the Rushden Lakes shopping and leisure complex has added shops, restaurants and a cinema to the area.
The branch line that once linked the town to the Midland Main Line closed in 1959, and the old station now houses a transport museum, so there is no train to catch to Bedford. The A6 bypass, however, brings you from Rushden to our office in roughly 20 to 25 minutes. Many clients here choose to drive down with their documents; others prefer a phone or video consultation, which costs the same.
