I am extremely grateful to Sunrise Solicitors for successfully handling what was a very difficult and complicated immigration matter for my family. My husband is living in Congo and has sole responsibility for our four children. We needed to make five entry clearance applications, and I knew from the beginning that the case would not be straightforward. With the help, dedication and professionalism of Mr Amir Naviwala and Mr Usman Ahmad, we achieved a positive outcome on all five applications. Choosing Sunrise Solicitors was genuinely one of the best decisions I have made. The team worked incredibly hard on our case, paid attention to every detail and gave us support throughout the process. Their knowledge, commitment and determination made what felt like an almost impossible situation achievable. I would also like to give a special thank you to Miss Jerin and Maaz for all of their assistance. Everyone worked together as a team and put a tremendous amount of effort into preparing and presenting the applications properly. Receiving positive decisions on all five entry clearance applications has meant so much to me and my family. I cannot thank Sunrise Solicitors enough for the hard work they put into our case and for helping us reach this outcome. I would highly recommend Sunrise Solicitors to anyone dealing with a difficult immigration matter. Thank you again to Mr Amir Naviwala, Mr Usman Ahmad, Miss Jerin, Maaz and the entire Sunrise Solicitors team.

I had a great experience with Sunrise Solicitors, especially with Asif Rizwy. He supported me through my ILR application and was always there to answer my questions, reassure me and guide me through the whole process. Everything was handled with so much care and attention, and I am incredibly grateful for all the work he put into my application. I’ve now received my Indefinite Leave to Remain! Thank you so much, Asif!

Tariq has been the most amazing help over the past several months. He guided my husband and I through our Fiance visa and Partner FLR M visa. Both times Tariq made sure we provided ample evidence, submitted everything in a timely manner, and communicated any potential issues. We are so grateful for everything and highly recommend this practice to anyone needing similar services!
