Client says: “Best decision I’ve made!

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.”

It is no secret that UKVI is struggling to cope with immigration applications, be it for Visa Extensions or ILR, and this is causing significant delays.  One way to resolve this is to take advantage of the UK Home Office Super Premium Visa Service.

• The ability to choose the time and place of the UKVI staff visit, (the set hours are between 12 – 3 pm on weekdays)
• A decision on your leave to remain or ILR usually within 24 hours
