    I had a Zoom call to clear up some complex immigration issues surrounding financial requirements of moving to the UK from the US with my wife. Amir was extremely helpful and answered questions clearly, despite venturing into some quite complex and detailed parts of the application. I would definitely recommend speaking with Sunrise if you need help clarifying or understanding parts of the immigration process to the UK.
