Excellent Service and Professionalism

I had a great experience working with Amrit and OTB Legal. The initial consultation was free, and from the beginning, he clearly explained his position on the complexities of my case, the application process and associated costs, without any pressure. Throughout the application, he handled my case with care and professionalism, making me feel confident even with its complexities. I never felt rushed and I believe his well-researched and comprehensive cover letter played a key role in the successful outcome of my application. The service felt truly worth the cost, and I would recommend to anyone considering applying for UK Citizenship.

British citizenship

Working with Emma Cohen to secure my British nationality was a truly exceptional experience. From our first consultation, it was clear that they possessed not only deep expertise in UK immigration law but also a genuine commitment to helping clients succeed. Emma guided me through every stage of the process with patience, clarity, and professionalism, making a complex and often daunting system feel manageable."

"Their attention to detail in preparing my documentation and anticipating potential issues was invaluable. They were always quick to respond to my questions and provided clear, honest advice even when the answers weren't always what I hoped for. Thanks to their diligence and guidance, my application was successful, and I’m now a proud British citizen."

"I wholeheartedly recommend [Emma Cohen OTB legal solicitors] to anyone seeking immigration support. You won’t just gain a skilled advisor—you’ll gain an advocate who truly cares."

"A Life-Changing Experience — Forever Grateful to Emma"


I truly don’t have the words to thank Emma Cohen enough. She supported me through the most painful and complicated time in my life, and helped me get my Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK — something that means everything to me.

I went through domestic abuse, legal pressure, emotional trauma, and so much uncertainty. I was alone in a foreign country, trying to survive and protect my future. Emma stood by me with kindness, professionalism, and complete dedication. She listened to me, believed in me, and fought for me.

Because of her hard work and support, I received my ILR months earlier than expected.I feel safe now. I can breathe. I can build my life again.

If you're looking for a lawyer who actually cares about you, not just your case, I can’t recommend Emma enough. She changed my life.
She is super amazing and I highly recommended her to everyone!!

Thank you, Emma. I will never forget what you’ve done for me. ❤️

Great advice to make an informed decision

I spoke to Emma when I was stressed about my immigration issue. She was calm and explained everything clearly. She was professional yet compassionate about my situation, and even followed up with an email with more helpful information.

Thanks to Emma, I was able to make an informed decision. It wasn’t easy to make, but I know it’s the right one for me.

Made a stressful process so much easier Thank you for helping my famil

I want to say a big thank you to the team at OTB Legal, especially Amrit, who was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process of applying for a visa for my son. Amrit was patient, professional and took the time to explain everything clearly across multiple calls. The support and follow-up from start to finish were excellent, very thorough and reassuring. I was extremely satisfied with the service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amrit and the OTB Legal team 100%. We’re truly grateful and will definitely come back if we need help again in the future.
Thank you so much!

Emma supported us in applying for a visitor visa. She replied to all our emails on time and processed all the provided documents in a timely manner, so we were able to meet a tight deadline of application.
I particularly appreciated her attention to detail and expertise, that brought us a positive outcome for our visa application. As she was very professional completing the work with a positive outcome I can highly recommend Emma and would definitely use her services again.

Excellent Service - Thank you!

Callam helped us with the process for a spouse visa and was recommended to us by a friend who had recently gone through the process.

Our case was fairly straightforward (in our opinion) but we wanted someone to cross the t’s and dot the i’s to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible.

After an initial consultation with Callam, we were very impressed and decided to stay with him for the whole process. Everything was explained clearly and he was very easy to work with.

Our application was slightly delayed and Callam very quickly got into the case to help find out what was happening.

We would highly recommend Callam to anybody and cannot thank him enough for his help and advice during this process.

Thank you, Callam.

Spouse Visa assistance much needed

Amrit helped me and my spouse complete and submit our spouse Visa Application, and without him, we probably would have failed! It was already super stressful and money was tight so we were hesitant in paying for a solicitor to help but we're so glad we did! Looking forward to dealing with Amrit/OTB again when it comes to Visa renewal time. 10/10 we recommend this firm (and especially Amrit) to anyone feeling any stress or doubt about their own immigration struggles.

Ajantha and Lisa were so helpful with my boyfriend's Fiance Visa. Ajantha was really friendly and gave clear information and guidance on what we needed to do, and processed our documents really quickly so we were able to file our application shortly after getting all the documents required. We will be instructing OTB again for the follow up Spouse Visa! Excellent service and gave me peace of mind during the process. Thank you so much!

We could not have made this move without Emma and OTB. They were extremely helpful, professional, and transparent throughout the entire process, and we are happy to have trusted their expertise.

I cannot recommend them highly enough, and feel truly lucky to have made the right choice when it comes to legal advice and document processing. <3

I couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional support I received from Mark-Lilley Tams during my British naturalisation process. From our very first meeting, Mark made me feel at ease with his friendly demeanor and impressive expertise. He was always available to answer my questions and guide me through every step, ensuring I fully understood the process and felt confident moving forward.

Mark’s attention to detail and unwavering dedication made what could have been an intimidating experience feel smooth and manageable. His prompt responses and readiness to help at any time truly set him apart. Thanks to his support, I achieved my goal of becoming a British citizen, and I now look forward to the new opportunities this citizenship brings.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone seeking professional, caring, and knowledgeable legal assistance for naturalisation. His commitment and personalized approach have made a significant impact on my life, and I will always be thankful for his help.
