"Sorry for giving a honest review on these solicitors, I have approached them by checking one of the YouTube video of this company. I am struggling now with my mom visitors visa refusal thrice, due to some silly issues as I am not well experienced in applying visa but still tried. I contacted them through mail, they replied back to me to give a call back, I called one of the lady **** solicitor and stated about issue and got refused thrice, without even checking the application and refusal letter, she said the cost of application is £4000 due to its complexity, my question is How does she decide on complexity without even reviewing the application. Over all, I feel they are very commercial, first money then review our issue. Can anyone suggest me best immigration solicitor as this visa is very important for me as I am pregnant and I want my mom here for my labour. I have a plan to make a YouTube video about my approach and my self experience on these solicitors. I hope it will be helpful for others. Thank you."

"I was came in the uk as student then I got my PSW visa and wanted to start a genuine business in the UK, but I had little understanding of company formation and the complex rules involved. It felt overwhelming, and I didn’t know where to turn for help. Thankfully, a friend recommended AY and J Solicitors, and working with them was the best decision I made. From the very first consultation with Mihir, I explained my plans, and the team quickly began guiding me through each step—from turning my ideas into a formal business plan to successfully registering my company. I had numerous questions, particularly about the self-sponsorship process, but Diana, Ashu, and Surabhi were always available to support me and make sure I understood every detail. Ashu was especially helpful. She was patient, always answered my questions clearly, and gave me the confidence to move forward. When we applied for the sponsor license, I was nervous about the outcome, but Ashu was confident we’d receive a positive result—and we did! The license was approved in just three days. Then, my Skilled Worker visa was approved in only four days, which was a huge relief. Thanks to the team’s expertise and dedication, the entire process felt seamless and stress-free. If you’re considering the self-sponsorship route, I highly recommend AY and J Solicitors. They made everything simple and guided me every step of the way. Without their help, I would not have been able to start my business or secure the necessary visa. I’m extremely grateful to Diana, Ashu, and Surabhi for making my dream a reality. A big thank you to the entire team, and I’m thrilled to give you a well-deserved 5-star review!"

I also appreciate A Y & J Solicitors for setting me up with Ikra. 10 stars for my experience with the firm and Ikra. I am very pleased that I have chosen them."
"I cannot recommend Raj Kaur highly enough! She successfully handled my case for an unmarried partner visa. From the very first consultation, Raj took the time to fully understand my situation, providing clear guidance on what was required and addressing every concern with patience and clarity. What stood out most was her attention to detail. She meticulously reviewed all the required documents, ensured everything was submitted correctly, and prepared me for each step of the process. Thanks to Raj’s hard work and expertise, my visa was approved without any issues. If you’re looking for an immigration lawyer I wholeheartedly recommend Raj Kaur. Thank you again for everything!"
