Visa application


I would like to express my gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Joby. He meticulously reviews cases, and his acceptance indicates a high likelihood of success.

During the application submission process, Joby showed proficiency, proactivity, and approachability, whether through email, phone, or chat. I thoroughly endorse Joby for immigration-related issues. His moral support and his experience facilitated an instant and successful decision on my applications. I've enlisted Joby's services on two occasions, during the student visa process when I faced challenges due to insufficient funds, and again for the Start-up visa processes to relocate to the UK with my family. Both times, he handled them professionally and at a reasonable cost.

For my visa purposes

I reached out Mr. Joby, for my visa related issues. He is a very ethical man, who helped me giving me all the necessary advises and talked to me about the expected pros and cons of my situation. He was fully transparent while dealing my case.
And I'm happy I had him as my solicitor.

Solution for an indefinite issue

One of my friend suggested me about JR Solicitors when I was struggling with my SWV and I must say it was the right decision to get the decision. Purely professional and ethical that's what I have to say about JR Solicitors. I will surely get back to them in my future needs.

Lifted 10 years of UK visa ban

For almost a year and a half me and my husband were struggling to get a visa approved for him to come to the UK. We tried many agencies and none of them were able to help us. As a final result we approached Mr Jobby Kuttikkat to help us with our problem. Throughout our interactions he was very honest a, he even explained to us that our chances of getting my husbands visa approved were very slim as he had been told he has a 10 year ban from the UK, but we were very keen and he agreed to try his absolute best. He did everything he could, and he was open about the entire process. He personally helped us with all the applications, gave us his advice and guidance with his extensive experience throughout the process. Moreover, he had excellent communication with us, he always responded promptly to all our calls and emails, and addressed all of our concerns without any additional charges. He was happy to help us, and with all of his help we were finally able to get my husband’s visa approved. I would 100% recommend his services, they are very reliable and he is very trustworthy. We are eternally grateful to him.

Great experience

I had submitted my ILR visa and uploaded the documents myself but later when I needed expert help to deal with the delay and help with further evidence and guidance, so I approached Joseph Raphael Solicitors. My case was handled very efficiently, professionally and timely manner.

I received my decision quickly and was happy with the service provided.

I definitely recommend Joseph Raphael Solicitors.
