    This area covers obtaining permission to live in the UK, including visas, family routes and routes to settled status, and the kinds of residence permits people need for work, study or long-term stay. A solicitor helps prepare and submit applications, assembles evidence, negotiates with the Home Office and UK Visas and Immigration, and, if needed, represents the client at interviews or in appeals. The work is shaped by current immigration rules, deadlines and evidentiary requirements that affect status and rights in the UK.

    “It was a good experience, working with Asra Shubbar, alongside her team Beatrice, and Abukar. Visa application process is normally very daunting. From the very beginning, the team has been in direct contact with me and guided me through each step, ensuring that all documents were prepared accurately and submitted within the time frame. Asra was always available to address any queries I had, through emails, and phone calls. Their expertise and commitment is invaluable and I am sure that anyone who engages their services, will be in excellent hands. ”
