My partner had been in the UK illegally for 7 years, we tried to regulate his stay with another immigration solicitor but was refused in March due to our circumstances. My partner then went to Albania to see if he could apply for a visa from there, the application was again refused in May as our solicitor had told us to apply for the wrong visa. After getting two refusals, we lost hope of our chances. After doing an internet search, I came across Sabz Solicitors or ukimmigrationsolicitors, I was a bit skeptic at first having not heard of them and reading a few reviews. I called the company and explained my situation, they told me that they could help me with my case and everything would be done properly. They said that they usually charge hourly but because it was a complex case with two refusals there would be a fixed price, this price remained fixed. The payment had to be made on the same day for all work to commence. This made me more skeptic but I agreed because they sounded like they knew exactly what had to be done in my matter. A few days later I was called by a Senior Solicitor who walked me through each stage of the process and the documents that I had to prepare on my side. Everything was clear and I was emailed exactly what was spoken about over the phone and was given a checklist of the documents/evidences I had to prepare along with the details of who my caseworker would be. I was still feeling anxious of not meeting the team face-to-face but I was calm in the knowledge that everything was prepared accordingly to my personal circumstance and not could not afford to lose hope, especially as I was suffering with very bad mental health since. After a few days, I was introduced to my caseworker over the phone, however he unfortunately fell off sick and I was appointed to a different caseworker, Mr Amir Farooqui. This made me really nervous as I was worried that the work would not be followed through the same. However, the service that Amir gave was exceptional! From the beginning he was very attentive and was always available if I had any questions. I was informed on every single step of the process in a professional manner. Everything was explained clearly to me and I wasn't given any false promises as I did with a previous immigration solicitor from a different company. Throughout the process, Amir would send me drafts of the application as well as the cover letter to ensure I was happy with it and made it clear that nothing would be sent until he had received all of the evidences and I was happy with everything he had written, he even stayed overtime to ensure that I was happy for the application to be submitted. I had paid for the 6 week priority service as I was could not wait for me and partners life to go back to normal especially being apart for 8 months on and off. We submitted the application on 8th October and Amir had told me that there was a biometrics appointment available in Albania on the 16th! We were over the moon!! Usually we had to wait 1 month for the appointment! We took the appointment and this allowed enough time for Amir to upload all the documents and my partner to get everything ready. The 6 weeks started after the biometrics had been given. These 6 weeks were the longest of our lives, I was constantly ringing Amir asking if he had received any news, knowing that he was on top of everything and that he would inform me if so, as I was beginning to lose hope and was prepared to ask the Home Office for the priority refund. Finally in the 6th week, on 24th November, I received an email from Amir saying that a decision had been made and the passport was ready for pick up. But I was still nervous. No definite response. However, Amir informed me that usually if it were a refusal, it would be given to the Solicitors first. But of course, I had to see it to believe it. Today, my partner picked up his passport, with a shiny UK visa inside!!!!! We are over the moon!!!!!!! I will forever be grateful to this amazing company, no wonder they are number 1 solicitors in Manchester for Immigration! Especially to Amir! We couldn't have been given a more caring, professional and expert Solicitor. His cover letter was 6 pages long and clearly highlighted all of the aspects as to why the visa should be approved even with two refusals and a breach to Immigration rules! Do not believe the bad comments! I was skeptic as first but after the amazing experience and service we have received, from the receptionist who was 100% knowledged in immigration matters, to the senior solicitors to Amir, we cannot wait to do our visa extension with this company, hopefully with Amir! Thank you to Sabz Solicitors and to Mr Amir Farooqui, you have changed ours and our families lives!
