Border control and immigration work covers who may enter or stay in the country, how lawful status is obtained, and how removals or refusals are challenged. A solicitor in this area handles complex visa and asylum cases, represents clients in immigration tribunals, and may advise on human rights grounds, family routes, or protection claims. They gather evidence, prepare applications and representations to the Home Office or UK Visas and Immigration, and appear in proceedings in the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal where necessary.

Shabnam Mughal
Solicitor
“My brother was detained upon entry, and after one week of admin review, his skilled worker visa was canceled by HM with no right to appeal, and a return ticket was booked for him to go back. We involved SABZ Solicitors with Shabnam as the legal representative, and the HM amazingly reversed their decision and released my brother in less than one week. Thank you Shabnam!!”

Syed Naqvi
Partner
“Syed, Irene and Filip were absolutely amazing when my partner and I were going through a really tough visa process. The odds were against us, but the team were so passionate in helping us and really took the time and effort to communicate with us, and support us throughout the process. What I truly admired is their transparency and realistic advice. I didn’t feel confused and mislead at all, which can be easily done during tough times. The team were so supportive and honest, and gave advice that eventually helped us win our case. They had connections to fantastic barristers, that were honestly so helpful and reasonably priced. They value and respect every situation, and will be recommending them to whoever needs support in any immigration services. Thank you so much!!”
