    S95 Immigration help

    For over 9 months, my asylum case was pending with the home office, and I had trouble obtaining my asylum card for myself and my two young children, both under 4 years old. I struggled to convey my urgent needs to the authorities, as they repeatedly delayed the process and kept asking for the same documents after long waits. Thankfully, I was referred to Bhatia Solicitors through the British Red Cross Society, and within 2 months, I received my asylum card. This was all thanks to the diligent efforts of the solicitor firm, as they fought for my case tirelessly. I am incredibly grateful for their support, and I hope they can continue to assist me in other matters, as they were the only ones who understood and fulfilled my rightful needs. Unlike social workers and other agencies, who failed to support me due to my unsettled status and overlooked my humanity, Bhatia Solicitors provided the essential help I needed.

    BRP card

    I appreciate the firm for helping me get my BRP card with the correct detail after several months of waiting. I’m sincerely grateful for Ms. Nneka Amaigwe and Scott Laing who have always kept in contact with me throughout the process. Ms. Nneka has been very professional and kind throughout our communication, she always responds and updates me every time on my case. Now I can secure a job and get on with my life.

      Stressfull work situation

      Found myself in an awkward situation at work and Emma represented me. Emma was professional throughout our interaction and put my mind at ease with all the stress i was facing. Emma was knowledgeable and gave great advice and i definitely couldn’t have gone through the process without her. Such a fantastic lady, very grateful to her!!!

      Having many Solicitors in the past, who soon become less attentive to my needs, after securing their legal aid funding, and certainly not working in my best interests. I was amazed to discover this firm, and fully delighted with the results and efforts, Mr Neil O'sullivan; he acted up and beyond my expectations, he has excellent communication skills, with both myself and conveying my case to the CPS and the court, furnishing both with clarity on the circumstances orbiting the fact. I have never met a more attentive solicitor, who gave fantastic advice and direction in the best form of action to take. I would highly recommend this solicitor and his firm for outstanding results, my gratitude is infinitely felt. Again, a big thank you. Paul Knight

      In a time sensitive matter, took almost 6 weeks to tell me there was nothing they could do. Very difficult in touch with over the phone (always seem to be in training or unavailable and I was told to “call back,””someone will call you later,” “try again tomorrow” etc). They take ages to reply to messages. It’s seemingly impossible to get an appointment with anyone face to face. They took instructions, took facts, and when requesting an update 4 weeks later took another week to tell me it hadn’t even been looked at yet and then a further week to tell me they didn’t think they could do anything to help. Looking back over the conversations, the only thing they appeared interested in was the funding. Wasted so much time that it will now be difficult to find someone else in the remaining time I have. I wish I had read the previous reviews before I enquired with them. The issues I have faced seem to be a recurring theme. If I could give 0 stars I would. Not even worth a 1 star review.
