Submitted a Skilled Worker visa extension application to the Home Office for myself and my dependents. The application, supported by a Certificate of Sponsorship, was for three years, and all relevant fees were paid accordingly. However, the Home Office mistakenly granted only a one-year visa, which caused significant stress for me and my family.
Sir Waleed Hassan of WH Solicitors has been representing me throughout my immigration journey. He not only handled this Skilled Worker extension but also successfully managed my initial entry clearance application back in 2023—despite the serious complications in my immigration history, including a prior removal from the UK in 2015 when I was a student. His expert preparation and representation helped me re-enter the UK and now secure this vital 3-year extension, which puts me and my family on the path to ILR and British citizenship.
When the Home Office made an administrative error/mistake in year (2026 instead of 2028) on our eVisas, granting only one year instead of three, Sir Waleed Hassan acted immediately. He communicated with the Home Office and their technical teams, and the error was corrected swiftly thanks to his persistence and professionalism. The updated visa now correctly reflects the expiry date of June 2028.
The service I received from WH Solicitors was outstanding—professional, supportive, and incredibly efficient. I was kept informed throughout and given clear, honest advice at every step.
I will continue to instruct Sir Waleed Hassan for my ILR and later for my British nationality application without hesitation. I am extremely grateful for his help and highly recommend WH Solicitors to anyone needing expert immigration legal support.
