Recommend me a good Solicitor for UK spouse visa application

Post by markson » Mon Mar 27, 2017 6:02 pm

As per the title,I'm looking for good representation for my non EU wife's spouse visa application,to ensure we're successful.I'm a British citizen by birth.Having contacted two from Google ads,I'm not impressed so far:one doesn't answer their phones,the other stated they'd replied to my email query,but they hadn't,even when requested to respond again by phone.This abysmal service from both doesn't fill me with confidence.

Any recommendations?

Under the forum Ts&Cs members aren't permitted to post professional recommendations on the forum.

An OISC Immigration Advisor should ideally be at qualified at level 3 and a solicitor registered with the Law Society and specialising in Immigration Law.

You're welcome. You can also cross-check advice with the forum for peace of mind before submitting the application.

Having representation doesn't guarantee you will be successful either, it's all about meeting the criteria and proving it. As others have said, use this forum, it helped me and hubby no end and our application wasn't straightforward.
Be humble for you are made of earth, be noble for you are made of stars.

Once again,thank you to all for the advice and opinions.I'm just trying to ensure my application is successful;it's been a painful and stressful few years with a lot of sacrifices made along the way. I know countless others endure pain,expense and separation too though;my best wishes to all enduring this 'ordeal',
it's very unpleasant and worrying. Such utterly Draconian,arbitrary rules the like of which I've never seen before.
