Many thanks to all at Sunrise especially Ms Marriam, who helped me with my spouse visa renewal. Everything went smoothly and was fairly straight forward, they were all very happy to answer any questions I had during the whole process.Update:My spouse just received her ILR from SET (M) today. We used the super priority service on the professional advice of Mr Asif, a very experienced immigration solicitor who has successfully helped myself and two other relatives to obtain ILR.If you are planning to apply for spouse visa/ILR, I highly recommend to use the services of Sunrise Solicitors and especially Mr Asif, who aside from being a professional, is a great person who is always on hand to answer all queries.

really helpful and friendly on the phone, which was refreshing. He understood my case perfectly, and quoted a price, but also stayed on the phone to answer all my questions. I think we will go for it, but after a few months. Look forward to work with you. Thank-you

Working with Attorney Amir Naviwala was a reassuring experience due to his deep legal knowledge, clear communication, and meticulous attention to detail. From our first meeting, Amir's ability to explain complex legal terms in an understandable way and his thorough preparation for my case stood out. Beyond his professional expertise, Amir's genuine care and responsiveness made a significant difference, turning a potentially stressful situation into a manageable process. I am extremely grateful for his representation and highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a dedicated and compassionate attorney.

Called this morning to get an appointment for advice and was able to be booked in for a consultation call with Mr Amir Naviwala the same day. It took a while to get their confirmation email after I made the bank transfer, and had to call back twice to check that they'd received my payment and send me a link for the video call by email. I managed to speak to Mr Naviwala at the agreed time. He seemed friendly and was able to address all my concerns. I am happy with the service, thank you.

I want to highly recommend Mohamed Osman for doing an amazing job on my application. It took me a long time to find a good solicitor because many others were only interested in charging fees for brief consultations and conversations. Even for each follow-up question, I had to pay, which made it clear that those solicitors cared more about money than the process. Some even promised results and then made me chase them, forcing me to change solicitors several times.One day, I decided to find a solicitor on my own. After reading reviews on Google and comparing different solicitor companies, I came across Sunrise Solicitors. All the reviews were positive, so I immediately contacted the receptionist and made a booking. The consultation fee was much more reasonable compared to others.What stood out the most was the time and effort they put into my case, their respectfulness, and how quickly they responded to my emails and calls. I also want to thank everyone who took the time to write positive reviews about this company. If it wasn't for those reviews, I would never have known about Sunrise Solicitors and these amazing individuals.A special thanks to Haroon Ali, who took my application further and made it happen. Thank you to Sunrise Solicitors for hiring such dedicated individuals like Mr. Osman and Haroon Ali.

I spoke to Amir who was very knowledgeable and kind and offered his time to guide me on an expired 5 year unmarried partner leave to remain visa. He gave me the option of completing my life in the UK test quickly and submitting my settlement visa before the 14 days of good reason visa expiration. He also explained his fees and I appreciated his level of competency and urgency in helping me.
