Background and Experience
Shazia Ershad is a UK Immigration Caseworker with over 10 years of experience in the field.
She is passionate about advocating for immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, having witnessed the challenges they face, whether navigating complex legal systems, seeking safety, or reuniting with loved ones. These have motivated Shazia to dedicate her professional life to ensuring their rights are protected and their voices heard.
One of the most rewarding immigration cases Shazia has worked in involved reuniting a family separated by borders. The parents had fled their home country due to persecution, leaving their young child behind. After their own years of legal battles and advocacy, the couple approached Shazia and she was able to successfully secure humanitarian protection for the child, allowing the child to join his parents in the UK. Hearing the family’s gratitude was a powerful reminder of the impact immigration law can have on people’s lives when the child’s application was approved.
