Male domestic violence visa granted for an indefinite application submitted only a few weeks ago. This was based on controlling and coercive behaviour. A very emotional client and a great result! #immigration

Reminder: Family members can still apply before 30 June from abroad to join their relatives if related as below to the non-EEA spouse: child /grandchild aged under 21 dependent child /grandchild of any age dependent parent or grandparent step parents #Immigration #EEA

Spouse visa (switching in country as a visitor due to Covid-19) successfully granted in just 14 days, where the Sponsor was returning to the UK for work - under the standard route and not even a priority service. Great result! #Immigration

18/2/21: The Court of Appeal have held it is unlawful for British naturalisation to be charged in applying for a child’s nationality so great news for those who would have had to pay £1012 to the Home Office for each child! #immigration

A claim was made against our client for a six figure amount where the other party was trying to claim ownership of her property. We successfully defended it and negotiated, which meant by consent our client saved a six figure sum that the other party had claimed against.

Successful specific issue and prohibited steps order for return after Mother relocated children 250 miles away without court order or father's consent. Court ruled that one-parent cannot unilaterally relocate. Well done to Nargis Awan and counsel @Barrister_Bear

Consent order agreed & thus Judge allowed a Final Order. There had been numerous allegations by the other parent who then dropped them at the hearing further to our negotiations. A good result for our client & without having to go through protracted lengthy court proceedings!

Spouse extension visa granted where the Sponsor had a gap in the financial requirement due to redundancy during Covid-19 so technically did not meet the Rules but fortunately due to our representations, the Home Office still granted the visa under the existing five year route.

Our partner Nargis Awan attended court today where the judge commended both advocates stating he was ‘impressed at the advocates resolving a very contested matter by consent’ #family law #injunction #children’s matter @OnlyMums @OnlyDads

Other parent had retained child after scheduled contact citing allegations against the mother & her family. Judge agreed with our submissions for the child to go back to her mother(our client) with the safeguarding we had proposed being ordered without Cafcass yet being involved!

Thank you to my clients for the lovely perfume after we concluded their case in a six figure settlement just before Trial in a claim for unlawful eviction from their commercial premises. #commercial disputes #LitigationLawyer

‘Parent of a Child’ visa successfully granted where the other parent refused to provide any of the child’s documents to the Home Office. The Home Office, however, accepted our legal submissions despite them having previously written to ask for the documents from the other parent.

Less than 2 months left until the 31 December 2020 deadline to apply for family members (spouses or other relatives including siblings / parents / uncles / aunts/ cousins) to join EEA European nationals in the UK or switch their visas to stay in the UK under the pre brexit rules.

NHS fee will increase from £1000 to £1560 for entry and leave to remain applications submitted after 27 October 2020. If there are 28 days before your visa expires on or before 26 October 2020 you may still take advantage of the current NHS fee.
