Unfortunately, my husband, an EU national had been issued with a one stop notice by the Home Office. I completed the appeal form and we had a hearing date set for August 2023. Prior to this, the Home Office issued a Deportation Order. This made me panic and I felt that we needed support from a solicitor.
Fortunately, I was given the phone number of Samir Shah, who supported us from that point until recently when the Home Office informed us that they were no longer seeking deportation. From day one, Samir was thorough, transparent and patient. He explained the different possible outcomes clearly which allowed us to understand what might happen and decide on how we wanted to proceed. The fee when we instructed Samir to act on our behalf and there was no deviation from this.
Samir contacted the Home Office on multiple occasions and it was a relief to have someone supporting us who knew who to contact. This is something I had tried to do myself but came up against a brick wall. Samir was relentless with his requests for the Home Office to remove the tracking device and stop the deportation order and at the beginning of this year, we finally got the news we’d been hoping for.
Throughout the whole process, Samir was available to discuss any questions that we had by phone or by email. The responses we were given were always very clear and detailed.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Samir for his support - it was invaluable to us. If you do need an immigration solicitor, I would highly recommend Samir Shah.
