Professional and efficient service

Mark has helped me with my visa applications three times and his professional and efficient service stands out. He gives detailed and thoughtful advice, ensures that I fully understand all details and diligently checks all of the documents. I am very pleased with his service and would definitely recommend him.

Very professional and knowledgeable

5

Mark originally helped me in 2014 when I had accidentally let my visa to remain in UK lapse by a few weeks. He showed me all the information I would need to gather to reapply to Home Office, then used this information to do my application for me . At the same time he applied for citizenship for 2 of my children.
Ten years later I found Mark again, and asked him to help me apply for my British citizenship, which has been successful.
All the while, Mark was very professional, answering all my many many questions, as I navigated a very complicated system. This is very much appreciated, thank you.

"From the first telephone conversation you were very helpful and honest about the strength of case I had and possible outcomes. I found the whole process stress free due to your input and in the end was very pleased with the outcome which was far more than I had hoped for. I would recommend your services to friends and family if they ever have immigration problems in the future ! Many thanks to Mark Lilley-Teams .

Mark was accommodating with my immigration status and queries, after contacting so many lawyers that were not willing to help me or try and understand my position. Mark has honestly been very supportive and guided me well on my personal matter which will now be resolved very soon. Thanks Mark
