    Excellent service from Saimah Razzaq and her team, they have been so helpful and professional throughout my wife's entire journey of visa applications and ultimately gaining UK citizenship, would highly recommend their services.
    Han Wei has been amazing. We always get exceptional service from her. She is incredibly attentive and helpful. She answers all questions with both care and professionalism. We will certainly be looking to work with her again in the future. Many thanks for all you have done for our family.

    We had an excellent experience with Laura Christian and are extremely grateful for the professional advice and guidance she provided regarding our daughter’s UK immigration matter. Laura was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. She took the time to listen to our concerns, explain everything clearly, and provide practical, reassuring advice that made a complicated situation much easier for us to understand. We truly appreciated her professionalism, kindness, and genuine willingness to help. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking expert immigration advice. Thank you again, Laura, for your outstanding support!

    Great service from IAS. We had a video call with Mark Rigby who was clear and professional. The follow up email containing everything we spoke about made it really easy to understand such a complicated subject

    My immigration case worker, Ibtizam Azeez-Omotoso, was very efficient in helping me apply for citizenship. Ibtizam was extremely prompt in getting back to me on any questions. She was very professional through the whole process which made the application process go smoothly.
    My COS was revoked and my visa was due to expire. I contacted IAS, they came through for me. My Solicitor who handled my case was Marie, she was there, provided advice and walk me through. I want to say thank you to IAS, especially Marie and her team.

    I just received my certificate of British citizenship last week. Marie Nguekam was very helpful, supportive and knowledgeable during this process. I would recommend Marie and this office to anyone looking to file for British citizenship.
    Laura Christian was extremely helpful in letting us know our options for the immigration process. She answered all of our questions and made us feel more at ease in the immigration process then had we attempted to apply on our own

    Saima Jabeen was extremely helpful during my advice session. She gave clear guidance and followed up with a detailed advice letter. Farhine Chowdhury was assigned as my caseworker, and provided me expert support and advice throughout the process. I am pleased to have made use of IAS' services.

    I could book a non-urgent appointment within 2 weeks. The person on the phone was very kind to go through multiple available dates with me and finalise the booking for the entire 5-10m. The person on the video-call was knowledgeable, highlighting points that I had overlooked, despite gathering and reflecting on my information for quite a while. I'm still using that advice today.
    I had a very good contact and their advice were clear.

    I highly recommend IAS. Thanks to Anne Liu who has been utterly professional yet a wealth of expertise. Always a polite and approachable case lawyer, with remarkable both customer service and efficient assistance in the whole process for a successful visa application.

    Laura Christian has been very helpful in giving me advice and the information I needed. Immigration law is very strict and confusing, but this service breaks it down in manageable chunks and hiring them makes the application process a lot smoother and without too much stress.

    I would like to thank Mark for taking the time to review my case and provide detailed legal advice. He was professional, respectful and took the time to explain the relevant immigration options and limitations clearly. I would also like to mention that my initial contact with IAS was with Nadeen Taylor. From the beginning, I explained that my main concern was not simply obtaining a Student visa, but finding a possible lawful way to leave Gaza and continue my studies in the UK. I specifically asked whether IAS could assist with this particular aspect of my situation, and I was reassured that this could be looked into. While the advice I ultimately received clarified a number of important points, I had hoped that the specific issue of possible evacuation from Gaza, including whether there might be an exceptional or alternative legal mechanism, could be explored further. Overall, I appreciate Mark’s professionalism and the time he spent considering my circumstances. I am grateful for the assistance provided and for the clarity of the advice I received.

    Highly recommend this service. My caseworker, Charlene Phillips, was very knowledgeable, professional & was able to answer all of our questions & put our minds at ease. She helped my partner & I with the guidance we needed to make a plan which would finally see us re-locate together.

    I am incredibly grateful to Clare for all the support and hard work she has given me throughout my asylum case. After everything I have been through, receiving my Visa was an incredibly emotional and unforgettable moment for me. Clare was always patient, supportive and understanding, and she stood by me throughout a very difficult period of my life. I truly appreciate all the time, effort and care she put into my case. Her support meant more to me than I can put into words, and I will never forget her kindness. Thank you so much, Clare, for everything you have done for me. ❤️

    Ms Saimah Razzaq assisted me in successfully obtaining my wife's settlement, having helped on her prior visas also. She has always been professional, efficient and helpful in advising exactly what documents and other information is required that she then checks prior to finally submitting the application. She will answer any questions that you you may have, and gives feedback along the way. I can highly recommend Saimah to assist you.

    5/5 Stars — Exellant service "I cannot thank Saima Razzaq enough for all her hard work and support throughout our ILR application process. From start to finish she was professional, patient, and kept us updated every step of the way. We faced delays and extra checks due to being self-employed, which made the process longer and more stressful than expected. Saima was there through it all — giving clear advice, helping us chase things up, and guiding us on making formal complaints and claiming a refund when the service took far longer than promised. She fought our corner properly and never gave up. My husband has now had his application approved and we are absolutely over the moon. We couldn’t have got here without Saima’s help. If you need assistance with immigration applications, Saima Razzaq is the person to go to. Thank you so much!"

    My immigration enquiry was rather unusual and complex. I spoke to Mark Rigby an Immigration Advice Lawyer who was patient, understanding and offered clear, detailed advice. A comprehensive explanation of future procedures required and associated fees was given. This conversation was helpful and reassuring.
