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.

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!!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am very grateful to Lani Nguyen Law Office and all the staff for their support throughout the marriage and visa application process. From start to finish, everyone was enthusiastic, dedicated, and provided very clear step-by-step guidance, which made me feel very reassured. In particular, our application was successfully approved, and my wife and I are truly happy and relieved. I am grateful to the office for accompanying and supporting us throughout this time. My wife has used the office's services many times before and has always trusted them, so this time we decided to continue seeking Lani Nguyen's assistance. And the results are truly satisfying ❤️ Thank you so much to everyone at Lani Nguyen. I will always recommend the office to friends and family if they need assistance with marriage or visa applications. ❤️”
