Spouse Visa without a hitch!

Hannah was invaluable in our fiancee and subsequent spouse visa applications. She was very informative during our initial consultation and set out our options clearly. During our fiancee visa application, there was a hiccup on the Home Office’s behalf where they didn’t follow their own guidelines and they refused the visa. This had serious implications for our already tight timeline but Hannah was very good at challenging and successfully overturning the erroneous decision. Our follow up spouse visa went without a hitch. Overall, having Hannah involved in the process meant that we were able to marry and live together in the UK; we just simply did not have the knowledge to make it happen ourselves.

Everything was perfect!

Decision within a month!

I dealt with Karim Aidross and he was very professional and provided the best advise and I got my decision within a month of submitting the application. It was the best service ever.

Impressed with the free consultation!

Confidence in a service always starts from the Introduction stage. Especially with an immigration situation for my partner so important, and slightly complex. I was extremely pleased to find Halliday Reeves possess the skillset for listening, understanding and advising from the initial phone call to the consultation service provided. I spoke to a lady on reception firstly, who took all my information and details. I then received a call back from Eileen (Admin) who was extremely helpful with taking the correct details from me, as on my previous call some of my information I gave was not clear (I had a lot of information to give them!). In addition to accurately taking the information again in a professional manner, Eileen was also very helpful, friendly, and compassionate when hearing my current circumstances.

This alone encouraged me to continue my enquiry, the front of house service is impeccable. She advised I would receive a call from one of the lawyers within an hour hopefully, but by the closure of business at the latest. I received a call from Louisa (Lawyer) around 30 minutes later, excellent time management, as I know they have clients that they would have been working on but still found time to give a free initial consultation promptly. Again, friendly yet professional, helpful and superb listening skills as I gave her information from all directions. I had two options, and after discussing further with Louisa, this was narrowed down to one, and this was the most appropriate after investigations. With the highest chance, almost certain based on meeting the criteria which is the case.

This is the service provided without even having instructions to deal with the case, but they treat you as if you are already a paying client, and that was simply a free consultation I received. Impressive.

I’ve spoke to a number of Solicitors recently, as you do when trying to ascertain which is most suited to the needs & requirements, and I must say I’m impressed by Halliday Reeves.

First Immigration lawyer to give a clear explanation and guide me

I have reached out to Halliday Reeves for a free consultation to get some help on my naturalisation process. They were extremely responsive and Ms. Sabiha Riaz called me the same day so we could talk over my questions and concerns.

Amazing service

I would like to thank you for the amazing service we have received over the years.

Sabiha always listened to us and understood our situation. She was kind ,professional and very caring. She put us at ease and explained things that we didn’t understand.

From the first moment of meeting Sabiha my husband knew that he could trust her and that she would give his case 100 percent but she actually delivered more than 100 percent in-fact there’s no number that could measure it.

We are extremely grateful to Sabiha and Halliday Reeves for the outstanding service received . We would not hesitate in recommending you we give you more than 5 stars. We wish you all the best

Professional and very thoughtful

1) Pricing: I think that this is a very reasonable price for providing all the services and professional helps.

2) Responding speed: Miss Louisa Pacitto is very helpful all the time with swift answers on my case with all different questions.

3) Professional Advices: Not only Miss Pacitto, but also other professional staff who I don't know their names, all have provided me with professional answers of my questions, and can offer me different solution options for selecting. Actually this is very helpful and important because it can give me enough space to consider my current situation. The presentation letter to the Home Office on my case is very comprehensive, detailed and professional. I believe that I cannot provide such a statement only by myself, and this letter plays an important role to make my application stronger.

4) In general: I think that HR is very professional and very thoughtful. I enjoyed all the experiences I have with your work with my case.

Otherwise, I would like to say many thanks to Miss Louisa Pacitto. She is very kind. Once she noticed that I am not an English native speaker, she can always talk with me slowly and patiently. She is very thoughtful and helpful, and solve my problems and answer my question quickly and properly. I would like to recommend your professional advice services to my friends in the future if they have similar problems with me on immigration issues.
