Invaluable support

We had some problems navigating the complexities of immigration law and Home Office forms and protocols. Fahad supported us every step of the way, ensuring that the information we provided was accurate and in the required format. Not only that but his reassurance and professionalism removed a great deal of the stress of these experiences.

Dear Hatice We are very grateful for your kind words and are pleased that we were able to assist you with your visa problems. It can be very overwhelming when dealing with the Home Office on your own and constantly being refused entry for inexplicable reasons. It has been excellent working with you to overcome this and we could not have done it without your cooperation and willingness to engage in the process, despite the setbacks.

Partner Visa for Settlement in the UK

I approached Fahad a few months in advance of my wedding to roadmap the process of getting my wife to join me in the UK. I found Fahad to be very approachable and clear in his guidance and was extensively helped during collation of the application and supporting evidence. Fahad’s sound legal advice and experience ultimately led us to a successful outcome in record time (19 working days) and I am now looking forward to my wife being able to join me in the next couple of days.

Riverway Law and Mr Ansari dealt with my case in the most dedicated and professional manner imaginable.

Their commitment and expertise were extremely reassuring, especially during the difficult times with which my case presented me.

I came across several solicitors before Riverway Law, and my genuine advice to those in search of legal representation is that you will seldom find anyone more sincere and capable fighting your corner.

Over the last few years we have instructed Riverway Law several times in relation to immigration matters for our firm's employees. We have always found them to be friendly, responsive and efficient.

We have been to other law firms before but our experience with Riverway is far superior to what we have seen with other companies.

We have had several dealings with Mr Ansari, the head of the firm. His depth of knowledge is incredible and the breadth of experience which he brings to cases is astonishing. He is also up to date with the latest developments in the news with respect to new laws.

He regularly appears in the media. We feel proud when we see our solicitor appear in the news!

Once he gets hold of an issue he keeps holding on until he gets for his clients the result they need.

There was a time when we were struggling to get some information out of the Home Office Lunar House in Croydon. With Mr Ansari's help we were able to get through to the correct department and get the information we needed.

Instruct with confidence, Riverway Law are well worth every penny you pay for. And more.

Thank you!

Mr Fahad Ansari, people have spoken of your professionalism and your dedication as a solicitor, which goes without question.
What makes you so special from all the rest is your passion, your belief in justice and human rights, this lights a fire in your belly which makes you fight to the bitter end.

We never felt alone or desperate in our battle with you by our side, you were always there and gave us justice that we thought we would never get, you gave us hope, after having spent the previous 12 years with other solicitors and going nowhere until you took on our case.
Your knowledge and research of human rights laws surpasses most others in your field, you got us the result we needed that others said it was impossible.

There are no words that we can say that would thank you enough for what you have done for us.
You gave us our right to family life and peace of mind, we are forever in your debt.

From our experience we can highly recommend Mr Fahad Ansari of Riverway Law.
