Mr T was assisted with making an application for entry clearance for his wife to the UK. The application was successful however due to the travel restrictions imposed in various countries, Mr T’s wife was unable to fly to the UK. During this time her vignette expired, and an application was then made for a replacement Vignette for Mr T’s wife. Unfortunately, the VFS services in her home country advised that they could not assist and that a fresh application would need to be made instead. However due to the pandemic Mr T was unemployed at this point. Sterling Shore intervened and applied immigration rules in order to renew the vignette.

Miss O entered the UK as a student and had remained her since. Over the years she made several applications with several law firms all of which were refused. Miss O contacted Sterling Shore Solicitors when her last application was refused. The main reason for the refusal was that Miss O had spent only 18 years in the UK and not 20 as required by the Immigration Rules. Sterling Shore Solicitors advised Miss O to pursue an appeal even though she had been informed otherwise. Sterling Shore Solicitors submitted substantial grounds of appeal with vigorous preparation for the hearing relaying on a number of key documents. On the day of the hearing Miss O was represented by our senior barrister who delivered legal arguments of the highest calibre compelling the Immigration Judge to allow the appeal. After 18 years of living in the UK, most of which was without any status, Miss O was granted leave to remain.

Sonia Malik

I hired Riaz to apply for my wife’s UK Settlement Visa. Riaz provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and attention to detail of every single document that had to be submitted to the Home Office. During this time, he was extremely helpful and responsive to all my questions and concerns. Besides, he was well organised and thorough which made the process a lot quicker. I would definitely hire Riaz again to apply for an extension to my wife’s visa.
Robert Bigby

I dealt with Riaz on a spouse visa application and he was a pleasure to work with, providing good professional communication throughout and clearly explaining the process. My wife`s visa application was approved very quickly (within 2 weeks) which I think was helped by the clear advice on which documents were needed. Strongly recommend them and would use again in the future.
P G

I had the best experience with Riaz. He helped me obtain my UK Visa while I was living in America. Sterling Shore Solicitors were supportive, efficient, reliable and pleasant to speak to when I felt unsure in a stressful time. I would without a doubt recommend to friends and family.

I can fully recommend the excellent Sterling Shore. Riaz helped my wife and I with a UK visa application and his help and professionalism were second to none. We needed help in a short time window and were applying from abroad, and Riaz bent over backwards to accommodate us despite the awkward time difference and his busy schedule. He made sure to fully understand our issue and situation, and would call immediately and proactively if we were unsure of anything to tell us exactly what he recommended. He also followed up with us after we had submitted what was needed to ensure we fully understood our often complicated situation. I cannot thank him enough and reiterate what a fine service Sterling Shore provided at a time of great stress and uncertainty.

Spoke to many different solicitors and immigration agencies regarding my UK Spouse Visa. I ended up feeling most assured by Sterling Shore and went with them. So pleased I did. From start to finish everything was handled quickly but with care. The head solicitor made sure I did not worry about anything and kept me well informed. There was a fast and favorable decision made on my case. Thank you so much.
