Excellent immigration solicitor

This is our second time with Melissa for the family visa. We first went to Melissa for legal advice as my husband's student visa was running out. Melissa recommended the family visa. Melissa helped us switch and we went to her a second time for the extension. We went for full representation. We highly recommend this option as it meant that Melissa filled in all the forms for us and even booked the biometric test. It really takes the stress out of a complicated process. We would highly recommend Melissa as she is extremely efficient and very prompt responding to emails. She is also very clear in telling you exactly which documents to provide. Melissa has many years of experience in the field so you know you are in safe hands.
