Smooth process . I applied for dependent visa for my boyfriend. I would even thought that’s not even possible. But they have helped and made it happen. So so grateful for them.

We retained A Y & J to assist with the extension of our Family Visa. Although I trained as a lawyer many years ago (never practised) the one guiding principle that has never left me is "only a fool wll represent him or herself in a legal matter". Nagina Hanif and her team did an exceptional job assisting us navigate the process; her advice allowed us to manage travel and buisness during the application period; and she delivered exceptional results. We are very grateful to Nagina and her team.

A Y & J Solicitors helped us in reinstating our sponsor license. Mihir, Syed and Diana's team work and great communication was key in allowing us to meet the deadline. They were responsive to our concerns and emails which provided reassurance that we were on the right path. They also provide support with compliance and are happy to visit the office. Their expert advice demonstrate their experience and knowledge with immigration and working with the Home Office. Yet they are understanding and work with compassion. The price was also competitive, but their support was priceless. We are happy to recommend A Y & J Solicitors to any company who wants to work with the best chances of retaining and/or obtaining a sponsor licence. Thank you so much A Y & J Solicitors!
