My wife and I had a tricky situation, with my living in the UK & my wife in her home country - but both of us moving to Canada after getting married abroad! Balvinder was able to help us through this very daunting process & enabled us to get her Visa faster than we thought possible! Wonderful service & a great lawyer who is always available to answer questions. Balvinder, from Rita & myself we cannot thank you enough More...

If I can give 10 🌟 i will definitely give to Mr Pahl ,because I'm incredibly impressed the way he looks after his clients In my experience he went above and beyond my expectations to help and adjust with my times. I had a bad experience with solicitor before it's difficult to contact them and their availability is just limited with the office hours. But with Mr Pahl he is very flexible with the availability of his clients I can contact him even in evening or weekends . Very thorough with his job and I got my citizenship in just 2 and half months.
I will definitely recommend his excellent service..

Five out of Five stars, as ever. My husband and I have been clients of Pahl & Associates for over 15 years with his assistance on migrating in both directions.

He makes you feel you get personal attention and trusted advice, including regular updates and reminders.

Well worth the financial investment to have the peace of mind that nothing is missed on your application, and someone is on your side if needed

I have used Pahl & Associates for several years now and have never been disappointed. They first assisted with my wife's UK settlement visa from Pakistan. When I tried to renew this myself I made a mistake with the application and Pahl and Associates helped me sort this out and get my wife's visa back on the correct pathway. When I had to renew again I employed their services straight away. I will be using their services again when we apply for my wife's ILR / Britain Citizenship application in a few years time. In the last month they have helped my mother in law who lives in Pakistan obtain a visit visa to the UK.
All in all they have excellent customer service skills always replying promptly to email and telephone messages. The firm has excellent subject matter expertise always giving an honest answer on the likely success of any applications made to the UK.

We are writing to express our delight at finally achieving the family goal of landing in Canada as a Permanent resident through the Family Class sponsorship route. Without the expertise of Balvinder and his colleagues we would have never been able to navigate the tricky world of Canadian Immigration law. Throughout the entire process spanning over 2 years (mainly due to Corona Virus impacting the world) Balvinder has always been on hand to offer support and assistance in assisting us to overcome any and every hurdle. The best word to describe the service is meticulous. Pahl & Associates always ensured that all paperwork was completed correctly, on time and most importantly in line with Canadian Immigration requirements. (Before any paperwork was sent in, everything was checked and double checked avoiding any unnecessary mistakes that lead to delay). Throughout the application process, Pahl & Associates were also able to tap into their undoubted knowledge and expertise to tackle issues as they arose, and where appropriate guide us to the key areas/people of the immigration process to chase the application. When applying to live in a foreign country it is difficult and complicated. I would advise anyone who is looking to re locate to Canada to contact Balvinder at Pahl & Associates to discuss your plans. We did, and in honesty it's probably one of the best decisions we have made in recent years. We have finally moved and wanted to take this opportunity to express our thanks and delight at the outstanding level of service that we received. More...

Amazing experience with Balvinder! I am a Canadian citizen wanting to sponsor my husband to come to live in Canada with me. We had filled out a lot of our paperwork ourselves from within the UK but last minute decided to find someone to help us through the process. Balvinder was our first choice as he was responsive, very informative and friendly upon our first meeting. He was honest about payments, how the process would work and roughly how long he thought it would take. Given COVID, myself and my husband estimated it would take about a year to be approved for the Visa. Balvinder got to work straight away in December 2020 and sent everything off within a week (it helps that we were organised!). We received communication in March from Canada and we were fully approved by June - MUCH quicker than we were ever expecting. Throughout the whole process, Balvinder answered my many questions and gave us expert advice. He also was able to give us updates on our application and was freely available if I ever needed a chat. I would wholly recommend Balvinder, he really eased my anxiety around the application and saved us a lot of time worrying about everything. Thank you so much for your help and support during this stressful time, we couldn't thank you enough! More...

Q&As

I am passionate about working in the field of Immigration Law and as such have built over 25 plus years of experience. The evolving nature of immigration law ensures that no day is the same and the essential need to keep up to date with the changes in Immigration legislation and Home Office policy. Overall the most rewarding aspect of our profession is to experience the joy and satisfaction on our client's faces when their applications have been approved or an appeal has been allowed.

I began my career in Immigration law having worked in the voluntary sector ie Law Centres and UK Immigrant Advisory Services. In due course, I gained experience of working with a Solicitor's practice that specialised in UK immigration matters.. Ultimately, I became a proud member of OISC since its inception and set up Pahl & Associates. A background in the voluntary sector has ensured that our ethos to advise clients has been to provide clear, honest and practical representation whilst maintaining an empathetic approach to our client's circumstances.

Pahl& Associates known for its client-focused service, honesty, straightforward and transparent approach.

Since the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic, Pahl & Associates has evolved our legal practice to primarily provide online and remote services to our clients across the UK via telecon, video calls via Skype or Zoom.
We have moved consultations online, so we are not seeing customers in our office unless it is essential in preparing a clients application. Clients can send their scanned documents to us via email.
We are able to via video conference share a screen and refer you to relevant UK immigration law and Home Office.

We are fully operating under Covid-19 protocols, We only meet clients face to face if essential whilst maintaining a safe distance.

Services

There are different routes to gain British Citizenship.
British nationality laws can be very complex. We deal with British Citizenship applications on a regular basis.

The application process can be completed either online, in person or by post where applicable. We will check that you have all documents required and that you are meeting the eligibility criteria before starting your application.

If you would like to discuss your case please contact us.
We are OISC Level 3 registered and can help you choose the best route available to you and prepare a professional well-presented case that may assist the Home Office to make a faster decision.

Indefinite Leave To Remain (ILR) confirms your right to live in the UK permanently, without any time limit and free from immigration control. Indefinite Leave to Remain is also sometimes understood as Settlement or Permanent Residence. In most cases, obtaining Indefinite Leave to Remain is necessary to be eligible for British Citizenship.

To be eligible for Indefinite Leave To Remain, you must first be in the UK on a category that leads to settlement, the period of your route to settlement depends on the category that your settlement plan falls under. Routes toward Indefinite Leave To Remain can span between just 2 years and a decade depending on your situation.

It is possible to apply for ILR upon completion of your residential period before your visa expires or within 28 days before the completion of your residential period, whichever is sooner.

If you require any help with your application please contact us and a member of our team will get in touch to discuss your case.

A Family Visa is for a spouse (or unmarried or civil partner, fiancé), a parent, a child or other relative. This type of visa will allow the applicant to join family members in the UK as their dependents.
The application process is completed online whether you are applying from outside the UK or applying from within the UK.
