Fee waiver application and Leave to remain extension successful!
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to UVS Law for their outstanding support and professionalism. A special mention goes to Rashid Uzzman, who has been handling my immigration matters for nearly 10 years — from fighting a deportation case to more recent applications. His dedication and expertise have been invaluable.
Most recently, Rashid and his excellent team — Maye and Abdul — helped me with both a fee waiver application and an extension for a spouse visa. I’m happy to say that both applications were approved!
Throughout the process, Maye and Abdul were incredibly helpful, always professional, and kept in regular contact with me. Even when I was busy and sometimes forgetful, Maye was on the ball, constantly following up and reminding me about the documents I needed to submit. Her persistence and support made all the difference.
I highly recommend UVS Law to anyone dealing with immigration matters. Their experience, commitment, and client care are second to none.
Thank you once again to Rashid, Maye, Abdul, and the whole UVS Law team!

I recently worked with (Maye Niamah and Rashid Uzzaman)on a complex conveyancing matter. Their attention to detail and clear communication throughout the process were excellent. They always responded promptly to my emails, even on weekends, and made what could have been a stressful process much easier for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

ILR application
Hello,
This is my second experience with dealing with my immigration case with Rashid as my solicitor and has been a great experience. Throughout my journey from tier 2 sponsorship application to ILR - UVSLAW has been my single point of contact and have been always available on calls and emails and results have been quick & positive.
It was a extremely painless experience and Maye ( my immigration caseworker for ILR) was very understanding about my nervousness when it comes to visa and stuff and kept me calm while very efficiently working on my file . a big thanks to Maye for taking care of all due diligence for me . I would recommend the law firm to anyone who is looking to deal with the immigration cases end to end . well done guys , keep up the good services.
