I was at such a loss trying to get a leave to remain visa. I had been trying for months and months to get a premium appointment – waking up at 6 and signing it at midnight – to no avail. I couldn’t stay here without working so I needed one and then found A Y & J Solicitors. They helped me immediately. Diana was my lawyer and she was dedicated and fast. Honest and direct, but also caring and kind. I would recommend them to anyone in my situation. It’s expensive, but I don’t regret spending that money for a minute. Now that I can work I’ll make it all back! Honestly, all was worth it. I’m so thankful.”
