So good, Haroon helped me and my girlfriend get an unmarried partner visa approved. Sunrise Solicitors were brilliant throughout the whole process and we owe all our success to the advise of Haroon and Amir and previously Kiet. In the end we got a response to the visa application in under 12 hours.

Sunrise Solicitors were absolutely amazing! From the moment we approached them with our concerns, they gave us so much reassurance and confidence throughout the entire process. We had the pleasure of working with Mr. Usman Ahmed, who handled our applications swiftly and professionally. I would also like to sincerely appreciate his assistant, Muhammed Arslan. He was equally dedicated, supportive, and helpful throughout the process, and we truly appreciate all his efforts. We completed our biometrics, and to our surprise, within just one week, our visas were approved. I mean both Main applicant and dependent visas successfully approved. We couldn’t be more grateful for the excellent service and support we received. Thank you so much, Sunrise Solicitors, for making the process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for reliable and professional immigration services. And if you’re ever wondering who to ask for, ask for Usman Ahmed, anytime, any day!

I cannot recommend Omar Naviwala, Senior Caseworker at Sunrise Solicitors, highly enough. From the very beginning, Omar was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me with my case. What impressed me most was the level of care and attention he gave throughout the process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions patiently, and was always approachable whenever I needed guidance. At what can be an incredibly stressful and uncertain time, having someone who communicates clearly and actually cares makes a huge difference. I would wholeheartedly recommend Omar Naviwala. An absolute credit to Sunrise Solicitors. 5 stars without hesitation.
