Successful visa application with expert help
My husband James and I required assistance with a spousal visa application and I found OTS online. From the initial in-person appointment, to subsequent online meetings, we were impressed by the expertise and comprehension of our slightly unusual situation shown by Maryem Ahmed. The process was explained succinctly, and we had a checklist of documentation to be assembled to support our application. In such matters it is vital for clients to feel their solicitor is on their side and that was certainly the case with Maryem. It was a pleasure to deal with her and latterly with her colleague Faaizah Rahman. We are most grateful for the successful outcome.

Useless!!
My citizenship application was held for 1.5+ years so I went to OTS for help. They made me pay upfront to get a solicitor's help, even though I wanted to know first if they could help at all. Spent most of the time chasing them sometimes up to weeks! They didn't do anything different than what I was already doing.
