UK immigration rules and regulations are complex and highly procedural, and errors can have serious repercussions for an individual's ability to enter or remain in the UK.

We offer a full UK visa service and act as our clients’ representative to ensure you don’t fall foul of the rules.

Our team of dedicated, specialist immigration solicitors work interactively with our clients to secure a range of visas, dependent on each individual circumstance.

For many entrepreneurs and founders we secure Global Talent visas, Start-up visas and Innovator Founder visas to allow them to establish their businesses in the UK.

For individuals with a job offer from a UK based company, we obtain Skilled Worker, Senior and Specialist Worker and Expansion worker visas to allow them to commence employment. Where the employer doesn’t already have a sponsor licence in place to offer sponsorship to employees, we assist the business with obtaining this.

Our immigration advisors have significant experience in advising clients about securing the right to remain in the UK, permanent settlement through Indefinite Leave to Remain, EU settled status as well as becoming naturalised as a British citizen and obtaining a British passport.

Due to the complexity of immigration rules, no two scenarios are the same. So when you need bespoke advice, tailored to ensure you are applying for the most appropriate visa based upon your personal circumstances and that you meet the eligibility criteria. Trust our expert immigration solicitors, you’re in capable hands.

  • First and most importantly thank you so very much for your support and guidance for my Naturalisation Application it has been a great experience for me truly appreciated through your support and work ethic...Sabina and Arooj are trustworthy and reliable.

    Client Quote
  • I approached Arooj and Sabina after my spouse visa application had been refused, and I needed it to be reviewed and submitted within a very tight timeframe. From the very beginning, both them were extremely friendly, approachable and supportive.

    They handled my case with great professionalism and efficiency, ensuring my application was prepared and submitted on time despite the pressure. What I appreciated most was their honesty and transparency - they clearly explained all the possible outcomes but still reassured me and gave me confidence that things would be fine. Their encouragement and guidance meant a lot to me during such a stressful time.

    Thanks to their hard work and dedication, within just 3 weeks I received my spouse visa extension under the 5-year route. I am so grateful for their efforts and cannot thank them enough. I would highly recommend Arooj and Sabina to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and efficient support with their immigration matters.
