Application for my indefinite leave to remain

5

I came to Oaks Solicitors after an unsuccessful ILR application. During my consultation with Venuka and her team (especially Arieta), they immediately identified that my previous application should have been successful.

When my second attempt also came back as unsuccessful, Venuka acted quickly to challenge the decision and thanks to her expertise, I now have my settlement status approved.

Throughout the whole process, every question I had was answered promptly and clearly. They always explained what was happening and why, which gave me peace of mind during a stressful time.

I’m truly grateful to Venuka and her team for their professionalism, knowledge, and support. I would highly recommend Oaks Solicitors to anyone needing immigration advice.

British citizenship application

5

I am truly grateful to my solicitors, Venuka and Arieta, for their outstanding support throughout my British citizenship application. From the very beginning, they were professional, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable, guiding me through each step with clarity and patience.

Their attention to detail and dedication gave me complete confidence, and they were always available to answer my questions promptly. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, my application has been approved smoothly, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

I would highly recommend Venuka and Arieta to anyone seeking reliable and caring legal assistance. They made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and reassuring.

Arieta best solicitor

5

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from ARIETA. She handled my settled and pre-settled status case with remarkable efficiency, resolving everything in an incredibly short time. Her professionalism, expertise, and clear communication made the whole process stress-free. Thanks to her, I can now live in the UK without any worries and finally sleep peacefully at night. I am truly grateful for her dedication and highly recommend her to anyone who needs reliable and outstanding legal support.

Partner Visa

5

I’m incredibly grateful to my lawyer (Venuka ) and Marsida for their outstanding support in helping me secure my UK Partner Visa. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. Their guidance through every step of the application, especially with the complex documentation and interview preparation, made the whole process much less stressful. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing help with immigration matters – they truly care and go above and beyond for their clients.

Best solicitor ever

5

I am so thankful to Venuka at Oaks Solicitors for her incredible help and guidance throughout my asylum process. With her expertise and dedication, I was successfully granted refugee status.

From the start, Venuka was very professional, supportive, and understanding of my situation. She always took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated, and made me feel reassured during such a difficult time. Her hard work and attention to detail gave me the confidence I needed, and I truly felt she cared about my case.

I highly recommend Venuka and Oaks Solicitors to anyone who needs excellent immigration legal services.

Thank you Venuka and your Team.🙏🙏🙏

Exceptional Solicitor – Professional, Efficient, and Truly Dedicated!

5

I cannot thank Marsida enough for the outstanding service she provided. With very little time left before my wife’s planned travel on the 12th of July, I was extremely anxious—but Marsida stepped in with total confidence and handled everything flawlessly.

She completed the entire visa application on Thursday, secured a Biometric Residence Permit (BPR) appointment the very next day, and unbelievably, the visa decision arrived just two hours after the BPR appointment. That kind of speed and precision is simply amazing.

What impressed me most was her professionalism, her clear communication, and her unwavering focus on getting results. Marsida guided us through every step with care, making a very stressful process feel smooth and manageable.

She went above and beyond for us, and we are truly grateful. If you need someone who delivers with both heart and expertise, Marsida is the solicitor you can trust.

Thank you, Marsida – you made what seemed impossible, possible.

Very Happy With.

My application for Leave to remain was refused, in such circumstances as I was looking to change solicitors I was referred to Oaks Solicitors. Venuka and all the staff are amazing. Marsida assisted me throughout my court appeal process which was very long and stressing and exhausting. Venuka and Marsida were very supporting, kind and patient. They were there for every question or advise I needed. After a very long process with the professionalism and the assistance of Oaks I was granted. I will definitely go back.
