I'm an NHS worker having issues with the free 1 year visa extension promised by the government. Shabana was amazing and work tirelessly to ensure my issue was being handled appropriately and promptly. Shabana is approachable, always responds to correspondence quickly and makes you feel confident you have someone on your side that knows the processes inside out and is doing what's best for you and your situation. I cannot recommend Shabana enough, I will definitely recommend her to friends and family members and will use Shabana again when I'm due to submit my next application

I had the pleasure of speaking with Shabana who provided me with detailed advice and guidance. Despite the fact that I was not a paying client, Shabana took the time to listen to my concerns and offer sound advice without any obligation. Her knowledge and expertise in the field of immigration law was evident, and I felt confident in the information she shared with me. I highly recommend Shabana to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy counsel for their immigration needs. Thank you for your generosity and kindness, Shabana.

I found the lady very knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. An initial free phone consultation is offered, which is a 'must' and helps clarify, what con be a complex procedure.
I would highly recommend this charming, competent and caring immigration advisor.
I am told that the lady has many years of experience of UK Immigration advice and this shows when having a discussion with her. Five stars, just like a General of the Army !!
She will fight you case.

I am very pleased with the outcome, I was at the edge of my seat, as were my staff for you, ” Shabana said with her voice full of excitement.
It all started way back in 2015 when I was applying to switch from my tier 4 student to a tier 2 general visa. My employer and I had little or no experience with the tier 2 visa application process or requirements. We encountered a problem relating to the SOC code and its minimum salary requirements. Anxious and distressed about my application, I looked on google maps for the best OISC Regulated UK immigration experts around me. Status Solutions UK came up with very good reviews. Without a thought, I called the number. I was immediately put through to Shabana and I explained the situation to her. Shabana offered me verbal advice and pointed me in the right direction. When I turned around and passed this information to my employer, they requested to speak to Shabana as they needed to trust that the advice was coming from a professional party. Shabana called my employer and offered them verbal advice. My application was approved for 3 years and Shabana refused any fees for her time and effort.
Fast forward to 2018, my tier 2 visa application extension was refused due to naivety on my and my employer’s part AGAIN. I had 14 days to leave the country and my visa had lapsed. Panic-struck, I remembered Shabana and the support she provided me with 3 years ago. I called up to speak to her and it felt like it was yesterday that we had spoken. Shabana vaguely remembered my application from 2015 and her phone call to my employer. I explained the situation to her and she knew exactly what I had done wrong with the application. She also had a plan of action within 30 mins of reading my refusal letter. Shabana, once again verbally advised myself and my employer her plan of action and what had to be done immediately to warrant my temporary right of stay in the UK. My application took six months, probably one of the longest application processing times. Shabana suggested what I could do to speed up my processing times and advised my company what they could do too. Once again, Status Solutions UK offered me free legal advice.
On March 26, 2019 I received my approval letter and I couldn’t be more thankful for Shabana’s help and support. A few things to note about Status Solutions UK is that you won’t have to stay on hold for ages till you speak to someone with legal expertise. The reception staff are very friendly and also take the time to help you. Finally, there’s nothing in the immigration law Shabana doesn’t know about. She won’t beat around the bushes, she will say it like it is. Status Solutions UK saved my future and career by helping with my visa application.
