  • My dearest thanks to Zahida who assisted in my spouse visa application from Pakistan. During this time of the pandemic, I wasn't sure what would happen and wanted reassurance every so often. Zahida was very professional, responsive and reassured me each step of the way right until the visa was granted in a matter of months. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

  • Shazia and her team were absolutely amazing in handling the UK spouse visa for us. Thanks to their hard and diligent work, my visa came out smoothly - earlier than we expected. Due to pandemic situation, me and my husband thought there will be many delays, but it came out all great just as Shazia promised us. We highly recommend their immigration law service 10 out of 10.
