"Me and my partner had a very good experience working with the firm (originally Carter Thomas). After being told by multiple immigration firms that my only options were to either get married or enter into a civil partnership, Carla on our consultation call gave us the confidence that we had a strong case and they could very well help us in getting a positive outcome.
"Our case was then onwards handled by Cathryn Davies who was great to work with. We were given a clear breakdown of the process, time period and the documents required. Throughout the application process, Cathryn guided us and was very particular in everything we needed which made the whole experience a lot smoother. Thanks to the whole team, we have now received a positive decision on my visa and we couldn't be happier." – Ms G, unmarried partner visa.
