Ukrainian Scheme to an Unmarried Partner visa

Absolutely Outstanding Support – Highly Recommend Tanya Laidlaw
We applied to switch from the Ukrainian Scheme to an Unmarried Partner visa – a process with several complexities and emotional weight. However, thanks to Tanya's exceptional support, deep expertise, and genuine care, we received the visa within just one working day. We are absolutely thrilled and immensely grateful.

Tanya is incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable. She has a remarkable ability to simplify even the most challenging situations, offering not only legal clarity but also a calming presence and heartfelt support throughout. Her attention to detail and reassuring communication made all the difference.
It’s rare to come across someone who combines legal excellence with such a compassionate approach. We couldn’t have done it without her, and we felt truly supported every step of the way.

Thank you, Tanya – you made what seemed overwhelming feel smooth, achievable, and even empowering. We will always be thankful.

Very helpful and friendly

We are a Dutch company that works with contractors in the UK. We provide equipment and send our employees to service and maintain it on short-term shifts. The UK immigration system was unclear to us, so we approached Tanya for guidance.

Tanya was incredibly helpful—she explained the requirements clearly, advised us throughout the process, and successfully helped us obtain two visitor visas for Ukrainian nationals. She also provided up-to-date advice on the new rules for European nationals traveling to the UK.

We were impressed by her professionalism, responsiveness, and in-depth knowledge. We would highly recommend Tanya to anyone needing UK immigration advice or visa assistance.

One thing is certain, if we need help with immigration again, we will come back to Tanya!

A heartfelt thank you from a grateful mom

I want to say a huge thank you to Tanya for her help with securing a student visa for my daughter. As a mom, of course I was anxious — so many documents, deadlines, rules… But Tanya took us by the hand and guided us through it all calmly, confidently, and with such kindness.

She was with us every step of the way — always available, even outside of working hours, when we suddenly remembered yet another question. She explained everything clearly, supported us, and gave us a real sense of calm and trust.

In the end — the visa was granted, my daughter is now in London, and I can finally breathe again. Tanya, thank you so much. You’re not just a brilliant lawyer, you’re also a wonderful support for worried parents.

Emergency Visa Switch

I can't recommend Tanya highly enough! When I found myself in an urgent situation needing to transfer my spouse visa to a work-sponsored visa, Tanya was an absolute lifesaver. From our first meeting, she was incredibly comforting, walking me through every step with clarity and compassion. She was thorough in handling all the necessary paperwork, ensuring everything was accurate and submitted promptly, which made a stressful situation feel so much more manageable. Her efficiency and expertise with working with my employer helped me achieve a successful outcome in less than two months!

Thank you so much!

We had the pleasure of working with Tanya Laidlaw recently when submitting an application for settled status as a husband of a qualified British national. The process was complex, as it involved a combination of European legislation and British immigration rules. Tanya's expertise and attention to detail made all the difference.

From the very beginning, Tanya demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal framework and guided us through each step with clarity and professionalism. Her advice was thorough, and she ensured that all our documents were in order, making the process much smoother than we anticipated.

Tanya's commitment to her clients is truly exceptional. She was always available to answer our questions and provided reassurance during what could have been a stressful process. Thanks to her expert guidance, we felt confident and well-prepared throughout the application process.

We highly recommend Tanya Laidlaw to anyone navigating the complexities of immigration law. Her knowledge, professionalism, and personal approach are invaluable.

Successful Application with Tanya

Tanya has assisted me with applying for a Spouse Visa after an unsuccessful application for a different visa with a different solicitor. I have reached out to her for a consultation where she outlined various options under my circumstances. We have worked together to gather all the documents and apply - she was very helpful and easy to contact over email and WhatsApp throughout, outlining all the information I needed to know at every step in a clear and timely manner. I would highly recommend Tanya and would certainly use her services again myself.

From our first meeting, Tanya’s approach was warm, approachable, and incredibly supportive. She made me feel valued as a client, not just another case, and took the time to fully understand my situation and concerns. This personalized attention gave me peace of mind during a time that could have been very stressful.

Tanya was always quick to respond to emails and calls, offering clear guidance whenever I had questions or uncertainties. Her communication was transparent and thorough, ensuring I understood each step of the process. She was proactive in keeping me updated on any changes or progress, which helped me feel supported and confident in her expertise.

What truly sets Tanya apart is her genuine care for her clients. She didn’t just provide legal advice; she made sure I felt heard and understood throughout the entire journey. Whether it was addressing my worries or offering reassurance, Tanya was always there with a solution or words of comfort.

Thanks to her exceptional service and unwavering support, my immigration journey was as smooth as possible. I am incredibly grateful for Tanya’s help and highly recommend her to anyone seeking an immigration solicitor who genuinely cares about their clients’ well-being and success.
