Shaz is your "go to" lawyer to ensure that you have everything, in the right form, that you need for a Spouse Visa application. He was excellent throughout the application process and very patient in answering all our (probably naive) questions. Highly recommended. More...

It is with pleasure that I write a review for the outstanding service I received at 1st citizen lawyers thanks to the Mr Shahzeb and his team. I had a problem trying to stay legally in the UK with my partner and Mr Shahzeb helped me all the way and advised in a professional manner the required documentation needed to submit my application. Even when there were any roadblocks, he was able to advise and I finally was able to obtain my resident permit to stay with my partner. I highly recommend the services of the firm especially in the area related to immigration. Thank you once more. An Pham More...

I was born in England but now live in the US, married to an American wife with two kids born in the US. 1st Citizen assisted me with applications for British Passports for my two teenage children. I worked with Fraz Wahlah, who was incredibly patient and flexible to work with. He guided me through the process, ensuring I had the required documents and that my application was accurate. When I submitted my application, I had the two passports in my hand within a week. Thank you, Fraz, and 1st Citizen for your help. More...

I had an initial meeting with one of the lawyers to discuss my wife’s case. Despite the apprehension and negative views beforehand, I left that consultation feeling very positive and very upbeat. Needless to say, my family and especially myself had the best Christmas present for 2018 when my wife arrived in England. I am truly grateful to 1st Citizen Lawyers for their help, professionalism and honesty in ensuring the solution was a positive one. To recommend their services, would be an understatement. I would fully endorse them every time and if I needed to use their services again, they would be my first port of call. More...

When we first got in touch with 1st Citizen about our case we thought we had a pretty good idea of what we had to do. However, it is obvious now that without the work and professional advice of 1st Citizen our case wouldn't have been successful. We simply didn't have the in-depth and up to date knowledge of immigration laws. We are really glad we didn't risk our case and didn't choose to apply without professional legal guidance. Throughout the whole process of putting our case together Fraz and his team were first rate and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you, 1st Citizen! More...
