Throughout the entire process, she was professional, supportive, and always kept me informed. She is a brilliant solicitor who truly cares about her clients' futures. I highly recommend Gozde and IAS to anyone in need of expert legal immigration advice. Thank you for everything!"

Even as everyone i consulted ealier said a uk visa denial can't be reversed. After 6 "tortuous" months and through the expertise of Mariam Adebayo and her colleague Osamede, my uk visa denial was upturned and I have been asked to represent my passport for visa endorsement within 15 working days.
I commend your high level of professionalism and candour.
God bless 🙌 🙏

I would highly recommend IAS to anyone seeking reliable immigration advice, and Irfan in particular.






Lauren was always patient, kind, and clear in her communication. She explained every step of the process and was always there to support me during a very stressful time. Her guidance made everything much easier and gave me confidence throughout my case.
I am truly grateful for all her hard work and support. I highly recommend Immigration Advice Service and especially Lauren Blommel to anyone who needs immigration advice.
I went online and found them, read their reviews which were catchy and relatable so I signed up, went through the processes and boom 💥, I got answers to my questions instantly and today I’m relieved, still standing tall.
I want to say a huge thank you to the management and members of this reputable establishment and Mark Rigby, my Lawyer who championed my case.
Thank you so so much, you’re 100% recommendable.
Cheers

I had heard that the citizenship process can be really stressful, and I can see why, but thanks to Saima’s guidance and support, everything went smoothly from start to finish.
I’m so grateful I chose this Immigration Advice Service. They helped, supported, and guided me to achieve one of the most important goals of my life. I would highly recommend Saima and this service to anyone embarking on their citizenship journey.
This move is so very important to us, that I was a little stressed before the call wondering what would be needed to obtain a visa. Charlene alayed my fears quickly with her friendly manner and after she explained my options I feel positive and relaxed about the whole appliication process.
Thank you Charlene It was a real pleasure talking with you.
Charlene could not have been more friendly, knowledgeable and friendly.
If anyone needs advice, I recommend that they seek IAS help as early as possible.

At my biometrics registration the officer was very impressed with all the paperwork as she said many people did not have it so complete or so well presented.
If we had an address we could send it to we would send Wendy a big thank you bouquet.

Professional support and advice, clear of communication and real support! 10 out of 10 !
Many thanks for all the team. I A S THE BEST !
Many thanks Saimah Razzaq !❤️

A special thanks to Taylor-Jo Edwards, who guided me through every step—gathering requirements, clarifying details, and patiently answering my numerous questions.

I’m extremely grateful to Gozde and Miriam for their outstanding work on my asylum case. From the very start, they treated me with respect, patience, and professionalism. Gozde guided me through the whole process with care and clarity, always making sure I understood everything. Miriam represented me in court and did an amazing job - she understood my situation deeply, prepared me well, and stood by me through everything. Thanks to both of them and their hard work, my appeal was successful. I couldn’t have asked for better representatives. I highly recommend them and the Immigration Advice Service to anyone who needs honest, skilled, and truly caring solicitors.
When we first looked at the process online it looked really complicated and we didn't feel that we understood it very well so we engaged IAS to help us. Saima was professional and very knowledgeable and super helpful. We couldn't have done it with out her. A huge thank you and much gratitude for making it a less stressful process.
We highly recommend her!
Thank you, Laura!

Charlene was welcoming, polite, and really listened to all my concerns. She patiently answered my questions about the visa requirements and cleared up several misconceptions I had about the process. She also provided practical solutions for documentation challenges, particularly how to work with my ex-wife to obtain necessary evidence from my daughter's GP and school while I'm living in France.
Her responses were thorough and gave me the clarity I needed to understand the application process properly. Really appreciated her professional yet approachable manner throughout our consultation.
Thanks Charlene Phillips!
I would recommend Laura to absolutely everyone needing immigration advise and will 100% be using her for our ongoing immigration enquiry/application.
Thank you so much Laura!
What impressed us most was how she took the time to listen carefully and really understand our situation, without rushing us. She didn’t mind discussing more than one immigration topic in detail, and her advice was clear, supportive, and highly knowledgeable.
After the consultation, she even followed up by sending a detailed written report summarizing everything we had discussed, which was incredibly helpful. She also made herself available via email for further questions, which gave us a lot of reassurance.
Overall, her professionalism, depth of knowledge, and genuine care for her clients really stood out. If you’re looking for an immigration lawyer who goes above and beyond, Charlene is absolutely the person to see.
Thank you, Charlene.
Thanks so IAS especially Samantha Cretten. I am glad & will recommend IAS for immigration matters
Thank you Matteo!
We had our meeting with Shauntae Campbell, and she was able to explain the best thing we can do for our situation, as well as what to say and use in terms of evidence for the application to hopefully allow us to continue as we are for now.
I only had some idea of what we had to obtain for our circumstances, but after speaking to Shauntae, we're now aware of a lot more things we can use as proof for our relationship when it comes time to apply. Upon completion, we received a PDF document that also detailed what we needed to do going forward, so we didn't have to focus much on taking notes.
Thanks for the help we received.
Hopefully we shall be using IAS for the citizenship application as well.
They are truly some of the most compassionate and understanding people one could hope to work with during the stressful and uncertain process of dealing with visa issues.
My caseworker, Han has been absolutely fantastic. She took the time to listen to me with empathy and guided me through the process of gathering my supporting documents. During times when I felt overwhelmed and stressed, Han showed great kindness, patience, and encouragement. Her support made a world of difference.
Thank you, Han, for your hard work and dedication—because of you, I was able to get my visa. You are truly an angel.
I would also like to thank all the staff at IAS for the excellent service they provide. I highly recommend Immigration Advice Service to anyone in need of immigration support, and I will absolutely use their services again in the future.
many thanks,
Waru

Paul & Elizabeth Brown, Ashbourne Derbyshire
However due to misunderstandings completing the application forms myself Im in the UK and my wife is stuck in Thailand.
We will now reapply using the services of Shauntae Campbell of IAS knowing we are getting the best advice and at a very reasonable price cost .
I had been trying to find some concrete information regarding my son's eligibility for a Certificate of Entitlement to remain in Britain once he gives up his UK Passport. He has dual citizenship and will be required to renounce one of the passports once he turns 21. However, information I had researched on the UK GOV websites seemed to me to be somewhat opaque.
Shazia began the session with a thorough investigation of our circumstances, wishes and goals. She proceeded to lay out the various options and was happy to suggest pathways for us to consider.
She was personable and receptive. She listened accurately and managed a very balanced discussion within which we had agency. At the conclusion of the meeting, we had a clear idea of the choices we feel we will make. It was a very worthwhile session and worth every penny. Please convey our thanks to Shazia for her expertise, knowledge and approach.
Regards
Matt Grey
