Citzenship applicationList Item 2
Lighthouse Solicitors dealt with my case for applying for British Citizenship. The outcome was successful and it only took one month! Their services are reliable and efficient. I was very pleased with the meetings I had with the solicitor with regards to preparing my application and with the result of my case. Lighthouse Solicitors are very helpful, accommodating to your needs and timings, and keep you posted throughout the application procedure. I cannot thank you enough for making this process smooth and successful!

Long Residence applicationList Item 3
“This is to register my deep gratitude and appreciation for the excellent advice & service provided by you in obtaining an indefinite leave to remain visa in my case in the shortest expected time. Before that, you did a similar professional job in the case of my wife and son. I have already recommended you to another newly arrived colleague at the Commonwealth from Pakistan and assured him of a professional outcome to his family situation. I will have no hesitation in making further recommendations in the future.”

Long Residency applicationList Item 4
I would like to thank Lighthouse Solicitors for your impressive expertise in helping me obtain my residency in the UK. After having been with a rather disappointing solicitor, Lighthouse was recommended to me at a time when my hope in the success of my Indefinite leave to remain appeal under long residency was rather frail. Your expertise, knowledge, efficiency and clarity in dealing with my case gave me immense re-assurance not only that my case will be successful but also that I was with the best Lawyer to stand for me. Lighthouse, you are truly a light! Thank you.

Legacy case
I would like to thank you for your excellent service and help for resolving my immigration matter successfully. It has been a decade of nightmare for me being without any immigration status after having my application turned down in the year 2000. Your clear and concise legal advice has given me a very satisfactory outcome after such a long wait. I am very much pleased with the result.
After the setbacks of previous advisor I was feeling very intimidated by the authorities and I had nearly given up all hope, but with you representing me, I really felt like I had a voice.
I highly appreciate your liaison by the regular follow-up emails to keep me aware of the progress about my case.
I wish I had used your services long before so that I could have saved time and avoided all the hassle and disappointment I experienced with my previous solicitors.
I have to stress that your service was very professional, very efficient and above all very courteous at all times for which I am highly thankful.

Student
Indeed, without your help, by now i should say i would be back home. Thanks very much.
I was totally confused, especially when i could hear from most friends who their cases failed after contacting lawyers. I can remember some telling me, "you will just lose your money, you will not win" Yes, this reminds me, you really handled my case to fit with my financial situation. I almost gave up when i was told the charge if you had to go to court in person at the first instance, but thank God you came up with an idea -" to send the documents, as you stated to reduce costs." you really gave me strength.
I was so satisfied with the way you handled my case i.e any correspondence you did, you always remembered to give me a copy as well.
Thank you for the effort you made to find information which in most cases i was unable to provide with.
I should also thank the person who reffered me to you- as she said "call this number , they are specialists in immigratiion issues, they never fail." yes you did not fail my case, here i am.
Am proud of you, may God bless you.

Settlement
After 10 years in the UK without a final immigration status, my case was by no means a straight forward one. I had been failed by the immigration system and it seemed like my pleas were falling on deaf ears. Lighthouse Solicitors gave me hope to continue my immigration fight for settlement in the UK. Their immigration advice was honest, professional and trustworthy. In a short period of time, I was granted indefinite leave to remain. A month later, I was sworn in as a British citizen.I owe Lighthouse Solicitors a debt of gratitude and to their merit, I can now look forward to a better future in the UK!! I have already recommended Lighthouse Solicitors to many of my friends!! "

Asylum
I would like to send you this testimonial to add to the website ... I felt like there was no hope for me after my Asylum case had been dragging on for over an year. When I consulted Lighthouse solicitors they gave me new hope, and solved my case, I would highly recommend Lighthouse solicitors to anybody. They are hard working and dedicated professional lawyers, who are highly efficient at what they are doing. I am grateful to Mr Rizwan for giving me a new life and a great future

EEA matter
I would like to thank you so much for all the help you furnished for our case. You provided a lot of effort to find the best solution to solve our case. Your work is the one of a true professional who knows what to do at the good time. I heard about you from one friend who went to you few years ago, and as well you succeeded his case. My visa was expired for long time but thanks to your hard work I received a 5 years residence card, and if God willing after this time expires I will definitely go back to you to apply for an indefinite remain in UK because I trust you. I was so pleased to know you in person, me and my family are very grateful to you, we don't know how to thank you but we think the best gift is to ask to God the good for you and your family. I do recommend your services to everyone in need to find a solution to their problems, you are very competent, trustworthy and a very good person. Thank you so much, may God protect you.

Asylum / human rights
Please excuse the pun but you truly were a guiding light for us. My wife and I had waited 10 years for this case to be resolved and all your hard work in the last few months has meant that we can now finally get on with our lives without this worry hanging over us. We don’t know how to thank you.

“I must say I am very excited … I don’t know what to say, I am just short of words and believing the ECO will act as soon as possible because I must tell you dearly, i need my husband badly. It has not been easy for me alone here and our baby will be 1 year in October. It will be great to have my husband here to MARK her birthday. Please help me send my regards to the barrister and let her know how excited I am at this stage. In all, I must say thank you for your efforts and trust.

EEA appeal
“You really brought happiness to my life after I had waited for so long for my wife and my children to join me here in UK. I have spoken to 4 different solicitors, all doubted the chances of success, until I met you. At the end of all, they were given their visas within 7 days. In fact, I am short of words in the case of my younger brother, you did it again. You are truly a professional.”

human rights
"I had quite a complicated case where my wife and my children were all British citizen whereas my status was not unresolved and left aside by the home office. A friend of mine recommended Lighthouse Solicitors and I decided to let Lighthouse Solicitors work on my case. They worked very hard and did not give up until my case was resolved. By the grace of God and the hard work of Lighthouse Solicitors, I now have indefinite leave to remain. I would highly recommend Lighthouse Solicitors to anyone who's case is simple or complicated!

Various - Tier 2, family visits, Tier 1
“There are many solicitors around, but the service provided by Lighthouse Solicitors is worth considering. They give honest answers to questions and suggest all available possible options. Their are no hidden charges and when they prepare and represent the case in court or before UKBA, 99.9% of decisions come in the client’s favour. I personally have recommended many friends and all the outcomes have been in their favour including of course my case as well. They are as good as Gold”

Tier 1 / human rights
“We want to thank you for your help and assistance in getting permission to remain in UK under Discretionary Leave. We received competent legal services from a professional Immigration Solicitor that’s exactly what we badly needed when we were visiting different lawyers. I really want to express deep gratefulness for the work and concern you have shown towards our case, despite the relatively short time that was left. Also your great patience was a huge help and we are pleased to retain your services now and will in future whenever required.”

After my appeal was rejected, because of its difficult nature and also my previous solicitor could not get positive result, I heard about you from a friend of mine. With your help the decision was reconsidered and we got result which we were hoping for. I have received a very professional and friendly service. I would recommend you to everyone who requires help in immigration matters. Thanks a lot!”

Spouse visa appeal
“It's hard to even find the correct words to say thank you for all the help and time which you put into our case after we had been refused twice, once for entry without a visa and again after having been refused a spousal visa you was able to appeal our case. I have to say you are very thorough with your work, every little detail was checked. You did not waste any time with the appeal put it forward straight away once our court date had arrived and attended court (which took 6 months) thanks to you and the barrister we won our case after almost three years of being apart from my husband we are finally together. I was recommended to you and I have also recommended friends and will carry on recommending you to any one that would need help with immigration matter without a doubt (I will be back for advice once our two year visa is about to expire). Thank you once again”

Spouse visa appeal
“Hi, I would just like to thank you so much for all the work and extra effort that went into winning my wife’s appeal for leave to remain in England. You provided an excellent service with a huge amount of research. You also got us an amazing Barrister who was absolutely brilliant and represented us in the most professional manner. We are both extremely happy with the outcome and would have never been able to win the case without your dedicated and thorough service. My wife and I are very satisfied with the attention and friendly service we received. Thank you.”
