Spousal visa application

I used axis solicitors for a spousal visa application, I’m so glad I did. I had a consultation with Olly and he talked me through the process and advised me, he introduced me to Iqra.Iqra dealt with my case she is very professional, everything was dealt with in a timely manner and I have received a successful decision. I’m so very happy with the process and I will definitely recommend Iqra and her team.

UK Spouse Visa

5

5 Months ago I was looking online for a lawyer with a good rating when it came to UK Spouse Visa`s. I am a Canadian and my spouse is from the UK. Over the years I have watched many of my friends marry internationally so I learned and saw all the struggles they faced when going through immigration. One thing I learned from them was that it will always be worth it to have a lawyer ensure your doing your paperwork right. When it came to our marriage it was important to my husband and I that we had everything done right. As I was looking online I found Ikra`s profile. I read all the reviews and liked what I saw. I had a good feeling about Ikra and my husband and I specifically chose her and her team to help us. Right from the beginning I felt like a huge burden was lifted off my shoulder when I contacted Ikra. My husband and I after talking to her we knew very quickly we chose the right person. She definitely knew what to do and she was kind and compassionate to our needs. I knew I could trust her to take over and ensure our paperwork was done right. We did everything she asked us to do and she has been amazing with answering all our questions. Her cost was very affordable. Ikra you were worth every Canadian Dollar/ British Pound. Thank you so much for helping us. Our visa was approved and it was all thanks to you and your team. We could not have done this without you. I hope more people come to you. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone who needs a lawyer for their visa`s.

The lawyers communicated the required documents clearly and gave frequent updates on the application status. They were also prompt in correcting any errors in the form. The lawyers were approachable and gave useful advice on booking appointment slots.

Spouse visas

5

Edit: Ikra has assisted me with our 3rd visa application (my wife's spouse visa renewal). We had the biometric appointment on 15 December 2023 and received our decision on on 4 January 2024, which was another exceptionally fast decision! Once again, Ikra's service has been invaluable. I highly recommend Ikra for all immigration matters.

Ikra and Olly assisted me and my partner with a UK fiancé visa application, which was submitted in Mid October 2020 and granted on the 1 December 2020. This was an exceptionally quick decision, which enabled my partner to move to the UK in time for Christmas.

Following this, Ikra assisted my partner with a UK spouse visa application, which was submitted in May 2021 and granted in less than 2 weeks, which was again an exceptionally quick decision.

The service provided by Ikra has been outstanding. Ikra has been very responsive throughout both visa processes, answering calls and messages instantly. This helped us submit both visa applications very quickly and gave us confidence that both applications included all of the required information and were of a high standard. The high quality of the applications may have been a factor in the speed of both decisions we received.

I highly recommend appointing Ikra to assist with immigration matters. She made a stressful process reassuring and as easy as possible.

Me and my partner are extremely grateful for the help we received from Ikra, which has enabled us to live together as a married couple.

My partner and I called many solicitors who were unable to help us as our case was considered a complex one due to my partner being an asylum seeker. There was very little confidence in believing we would be successful in being together. After many hours & months of trying to find the solicitor that was right for us, we made our decision to go with Axis Solicitors in Birmingham. This became the best decision we ever made. We were initially apprehensive as we live in Scotland, however Olly assured us this wouldn’t be a problem & they could still represent us should our case go to an appeal.
It was suggested to us by Olly & Ikra that my partner should withdraw his asylum claim & leave the UK voluntarily to return to his home country. By doing this, it respects the UK law & shows the government you don’t wish to abuse their system or take any government funding. This gives a better chance for my partners return to the UK. We did find this to be a huge risk but trusted our solicitors. Olly & Ikra had been honest throughout the whole process, explaining whatever we do, there would always be an element of risk. It was an extremely anxious 7 weeks wait since my parter done his biometrics test, however we’re pleased to share that we’ve been successful & are currently planning 2 weddings (one for each of our cultures).
We really can’t thank Olly & Ikra enough for everything they’ve done for us. They constantly reassured us through what was a very difficult time. We mostly worked closely with Ikra & not one day went past where she would leave us without a reply of any kind. She was always approachable & reachable when we needed her. Ikra provided us with all of the relevant people we needed to inform throughout the process. Even now, she is still messaging my partner of trustworthy travel agents to ensure of his safe return.
We will absolutely continue to work with this firm & hopefully Olly & Ikra again in proceeding to the next part of our journey in the spouse application.
I apologise for the huge review but I believe it’s always helpful for others to see if their situation is similar to ours where they can get the best outcome from the best solicitors.

I had an excellent experience with Ikra at Axis Solicitors and would highly recommend them.

I applied for a spouse visa and was supported throughout by Ikra, who made the entire process feel effortless. What initially is a dragged-out, time-consuming application was handled with efficiency and speed. I only needed to provide a few basic documents, everything else was taken care of professionally.

Appointments at the office were brief and to the point, and Ikra was always available to answer any questions via phone, email, or in person. I was never left unsure about where things stood.

And obviously, one of the biggest points to consider - price. It is extremely competitive (I have asked around and know people who've gone elsewhere), so really no reason to go elsewhere for your application. Highly recommended
