I would definitely recommend Westkin to anyone needing an immigration lawyer.I was told that my case of sole representative visa was highly unlikely to be granted. With the help of Westkin especially Kirstin, my whole process of visa preparation, application and result was finished successfully in 3 months. They were well informed, smart, helpful and kind.

Kirstin Caspersen is simply the best. She explained what was needed in the clearest terms, helped us, and was there the entire time to answer questions, and guide us. She gave us the right answers in a timely fashion, and helped reduce the stress level big-time. She is simply an expert on all things immigration. She's such a professional and so knowledgeable.....I could not recomment her more to help any family and/or person that has UK immigration issues. I deal with attorneys/legal professionals in almost everything I do in business, but Kirstin is one of the best I have ever encountered. Thank you so much! Jane McGregor More...

Kirstin Caspersen and Westkin Assoicates is the best in London for immigration issues, bar none. I deal with legal professionals on a regular basis, and Kirstin was fast, completely knowledgeable, and guided us through the process in a way that reduced stress levels all around. She was patient, dedicated, and always responded in a timely way. I simply can't say enough good things about her and Westkin and the expert advice and assistance they give. Kirstin led us to a positive outcome, and we could not be more grateful. Jane McGregor More...

My family and I had opted for Westkin Associates to prepare our application because we had previously worked with them for our visa issues. Recently, our visa application has been approved and it went well very smoothly without a hitch. Our caseworker Sandra was brilliant, liaising with us back and forth for gathering all the necessary documents and advising us on all the options on the table. I would highly recommend Westkin Associates to anyone who has been frustrated by UK immigration rules and by any unexpected circumstances. Thanks once again to Westkin Associates for their hard work!

Lizama Tahir. Thank you so much. We had a somewhat complicated case and required expert help for the visa application. After some research and a friend’s recommendation we chose to go with Westkin associates. Lizama Thahir, Senior associate, handled our case from the beginning, she with much diligence was excellent in understanding our case. She clearly laid out our options and what she recommended. We chose to follow her expert advice and after much work and effort from ourselves too, we submitted the application and had a positive outcome. The visa application was successful in the first attempt, this was a great relief for us as a family.We are grateful to Lizama and Westkin Associates team for help and consideration throughout our case.

We retained the services of Westkin, based on a recommendation from an acquaintance, for a Tier 1 visa application in December 2018 and may I vouch that our experience way surpassed initial expectations. Our case was handled by Andreaa, under the leadership of Rosy. The came as exemplary professionals with hard-to-find commitment for client service. Found them thoroughly versed with immigration affairs and successfully managed the file to our fullest satisfaction. During this application, I encountered a personal ordeal, which called for stepped-up engagement from Andreaa, which she wholeheartedly availed. I have absolutely no reservation whatsoever in recommending Westkin and Rosy – Andreaa combine. In me lies the ultimate credentials of two of the consummated immigration advisors found in trade!

Having worked with Westkin for a straightforward visa a few years ago, I went back to them for a far more complex immigration matter last year. Lizama Thahir was a dream to work with from start to finish. She's extremely knowledgable, approachable and reliable and went out of her way to prepare a meticulously detailed application, often staying late and putting in long hours to get it just right. Nothing was too much trouble and every tiny detail was accounted for. She surpassed all expectations - I really can't recommend her highly enough. More...

Michael and Polina offer highly effective communication and help. It is always easy for advisor to give over conservative advice and ask the client to walk extra miles to make a perfect application. However, Michael does offer excellent advice so then we can just provide adequate info. His experience, professionalism, firm answer, and problem solving expertise also gave us lots of confidence. As a result, our sole rep visa was granted within 2 months after engaging westkin. Tony from Hong Kong More...

I got referred to Westkin Associates in 2016 when I was extending my Tier 1 Visa and I have never been let down by them. Right from the initial consultation till submission of the application, they were amazing. During my last application I was assigned Rosy as the consultant to work on my case. She was very professional, always available when I had questions in relation to my applications and made the whole process stress free so much so that you felt you were applying just for a 'bus pass' rather than feeling that usual pressure or anxiety of sending an application to HO. Thank you so much for all you do, it is changing lives. Well done to Rosy and the entire team at Westkin.

Not only did they walk me effortlessly through a very complicated process -- they did it with warmth and patience and humor. And they were always there for me when I needed them.
