Immigration Application - Family

5

Certainly, without a doubt, I highly recommend UVS Law with a five-star rating. Engaging their professional services proved to be a decision without regrets. Our family's application process was seamless, resulting in swift approval and issuance of the BRP within a month. When our daughter required biometrics, UVS Law diligently assisted us in finding cost-effective solutions, particularly commendable was Alexandra Velencei's efforts in ensuring we incurred minimal expenses. Moreover, Alexandra's unwavering support throughout the process was exemplary. She exhibited exceptional professionalism, approachability, and kindness, making the entire experience pleasant and stress-free. Opting for UVS Law's services guarantees satisfaction and peace of mind.

Spouse visa

5

I want to thank Rashid for giving me a listening ear, understood my condition and advised me to go on and apply for my spouse visa.
I want to thank Rashid senior Immigration caseworker Maye Nimah for filling my spouse visa application form from beginning to the end until my spouse got a successful response from the home office. It was easy for me to communicate with her through phone calls, WhatsApp and email. She made the application process easy for me by listing all the documents I need to send to her and she filled the forms, booked the biometric appointment and checked the progress of the application stage for me and she was there till my spouse visa was out.
Maye Nimah, you and Rashid are the best immigration solicitors.

I come from New York and have been using Rashid for all of my visa requirements since I’ve moved over to the United kingdom in 2020.

Rashid was initially working elsewhere when I first obtained his assistance. Once I learned of this, when it was time to renew my visa, I ensured to reach out to him and stick with him and his new team as he has never let me down.

We have successfully submitted 3 approved applications together.

The team at UVS Law informed us of everything we needed to submit in a timely manner and ensured to remind us of any deadlines we were approaching every step of the way.

I’d highly recommend Rashid, Maye, and the rest of his team time and time again.

This is my third and hopefully final UK spousal visa. I do not know the outcome and wanted to make this review purely on the experience of the application process with UVS Law.
If only I had known about UVS in 2018, less tears would have been shed over the sheer stress of it all. Rashid and Maye were highly communicative, responsive, respectful, delicate, personal and professional. I could go on. Maye Nimah my case worker, WOW! Her confidence, knowledge and particularly the rapidness of her responses when needed really helped get me through the thick of it.
UVS has raised the bar for all immigration lawyers. I can’t believe we had to go through so much stress with 2 different firms for the first 2 before we found these fantastic lawyers. Please trust this review. It’s been a journey. They will get you through it seamlessly!

Granted spouse extension! Highly recommended!! What an amazing team!
Thank you to Mr Rashid and Miss Maye for all their hard work and professionalism shown through out the process of getting my husband his visa. We applied for a spouse visa 2.5 years ago which was also granted with the help of mr rashid and now we applied for a spouse extension which has also been granted. They are always there to give advice and carry out their work in a professional and courteous manner! I would not go with any other solicitors. I highly recommend UVS LAW for all your immigration needs, you will not be disappointed. Thank you from my heart for all your hard work and help through this process. Thank you!

I would love to review and show my appreciation and how greatful I am for everything UVS Law did for me. I became a British citizen and received my Citizenship and British Passport. I knew Rashid first when I started applying for my visas with him in 2018. He was so helpful throughout all my visa applications. Then, for my last ILR visa and citizenship application, I used UVS Law Rashid and Mye. I am sincerely grateful to both of them for my successful application. They are very knowledgeable,professional,polite, transparent and kind peple. I was very nervous about my visas,but they would take all the stress and worry away. I was asking them a lot of questions,but they will always be patient, kind, and helpful. They will always give the best advice and go above and beyond for their clients. All my applications with UVS Law were successful. My last 2 visas were ILR and Naturalization, both 2023 which were successful and I received my passport. I am British Citizen now and I couldn't be prouder. It was a long and hard journey,but I am happy to say that Its all done now with the support and help of UVS Law Rashid and Mye. Thank you 😊

Rashid is the most professional, approachable and honest solicitor I’ve ever met! He helped me so much with my applications and also my friend’s visa and her family.

One of his many qualities is that he is honest! He helps you with all he can and I am forever grateful to him as he helped me through a very stressful time and all came out absolutely amazing at the end!

I cannot recommend him enough!
