Top 10 of 2,255 law firms for Long Residency, Immigration

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Long Residency covers a route to settlement for people who have built up a long period of lawful residence in the United Kingdom. A solicitor in this area helps clients gather and present evidence of their residence, absences and integration, and to pursue a form of indefinite status such as Indefinite Leave to Remain or equivalent settled status where applicable. They advise on eligibility, prepare the required applications, assemble documentation from employers, landlords, educational institutions and the Home Office, and respond to any refusals or extensions as needed. The work is shaped by residence thresholds, documentation standards and the policy framework set by the Home Office.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The grant of settled status or Indefinite Leave to Remain is decisive and time-sensitive: it determines whether the client can live, work and access public services without ongoing sponsorship. A solicitor provides protection against missed deadlines, helps navigate potential pitfalls such as absence thresholds, and supports with appeals or new applications if initial attempts fail. This role rests on careful evidence gathering, statutory guidance, and regulatory accountability in handling client status.

Zahra Mohamed

Tagged solicitor Zahra Mohamed

I first met Zahra Mohamed in 2012, and I cannot put into words how grateful I am for everything she has done for me over the past 14 years. When Zahra handled my first immigration application, she was still a trainee solicitor. Even then, her dedication, professionalism and genuine compassion stood out. Over the years, I have watched her develop into the exceptional solicitor she is today, and one thing has never changed: the personalised care, attention and unwavering support she provides to her clients. Zahra has handled every single one of my immigration applications, from securing my first grant of leave to remain in 2015 to finally achieving my Indefinite Leave to Remain in October 2026. My most recent experience is one I will never forget. I sadly lost both my mother and grandmother, and with my ILR application still pending, I was devastated at the thought of missing my grandmother's funeral in Ghana, having already been unable to attend my mother's funeral. My application was still within the Home Office's standard processing timeframe, and I genuinely believed there was nothing that could be done. However, Zahra went above and beyond. She took the initiative to contact the Home Office, explaining my heartbreaking circumstances and requesting that my application be expedited on compassionate grounds. Today, I received the wonderful news that my Indefinite Leave to Remain has been granted. I cannot describe the relief, happiness and gratitude I feel. What makes Zahra truly exceptional is that she sees the person behind every immigration application. She understands that these decisions affect real people, families and lives. She has always treated me with kindness, patience and respect, and I have never felt like just another client or case number. After 14 years of having Zahra represent me, I can confidently say that her commitment goes far beyond simply providing legal advice. She genuinely cares about her clients and will do everything within her power to support them. Seeing her progress from a trainee solicitor to establishing her own law firm is a testament to her hard work, dedication and exceptional ability. I could not be happier for her, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by my side throughout my immigration journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Zahra Mohamed and Alcyone Law to anyone seeking an immigration solicitor who combines outstanding legal expertise with genuine compassion and personalised care. Thank you, Zahra, for 14 years of unwavering support and for giving me hope when I thought all hope was lost. I will never forget what you have done for me.
