IMMIGRATION MATTERS.

5

My partner and I knew SYED NAQVI almost 9 years ago by recommendation, and ever since, he has been handling my partner immigrations matters. She is on her last stage to Indefinite Leave to Remain.
He pays attention to every loose detail and covering every loose end before submitting my application.
His advice and support were a major contributing factor in my application being successful in all stages.
He is a professional lawyer and his knowledge in immigration cases is impeccable.
He was attentive, friendly, respectful, and more. He showed empathy as well as proactive, hand-on approach dealing with my me.
I have recommended some friends with complex immigration cases to him, and they all got success story to tell.
I would gladly recommend SYED NAQVI/ ITN SOLICITORS again! again and again to any one looking for a good lawyer with a human touch.
Thank you SYED, you are INCREDIBLE!!!

20years route

Syed happened to be my solicitor during my 2022 immigration ordeal. I introduced Syed to a friend who applied through 20years route. My friend's application was granted within few months and on the first attempt. Thanks Syed. Keep the good work 👏.

Successful Political Assylum Case

5

Syed Naqvi handled my case professionally. I got my assylum case approved within 2 years without any glitch. He understood my case clearly, guided me in the most appropriate way and I was confident in my interview with the home office. I was reffered to him with strong recommendations and he truly deserves to be praised. I wish him all the best for his future endeveours.

From 0% win chance to ILR

5

I ,Muhammad Ali Husnain writing this review for Syed Naqvi,My ILR case was refused by Home Office in 2016 FTT appeal prepared by another very poor solicitor from another Solicitor firm who indeed runied my case and judgement came very very harsh against me,then refused by UT,Cart JR,Court of Appeal in 2019, I became totally disappointed with almost no hope and fear of deportation,Then i contacted Syed Naqvi of ITN Solicitors who did long discussions with me about case ,He listend me very patientely as my story was very long becase of many refusals and very complex tax Issue, He literally spent many many hours, knows better may be more than 100 and prepared an excellenat case ,wrote witness statement of 18 pages which according to Barrister was a complete case study and his exact words to the Judge were that he has never seen such a detailed document which explains every thing about this case and anyone can easily understand the case.My case was prepared so well by Syed Naqvi that Home Office decided not to defend in court and did not send their representative so the case went in my favour and all the allegations of dishonesty were set aside by the FTT judge and I was granted ILR, After if there is anyone who saved my life is Syed Naqvi, I recommend this everyone,He has great knowledge of Immigration certainly 1000 times more than my previous Solicitor.I will always recommend Syed to my friends and will always remember him in my prayers,Becasue of Syed I have visited my Parents after 8 years and now wife will join me in UK in 2 months . bless you and your beloved ones .Kindest Regards

We had the privilege of working with Syed Naqvi on my dad's 20-year route case, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Syed is not only a highly knowledgeable solicitor but also an incredibly kind and polite individual. Over the past two decades, we had not encountered anyone like him.

Syed took the time to thoroughly understand our case, carefully explained every detail, and provided us with clear, tailored advice. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to secure the visa even before the 20-year requirement was completed, which was beyond our expectations.

His ability to navigate complex legal matters while remaining approachable and supportive is truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a solicitor who combines professionalism with genuine care, Syed Naqvi is the person to trust. We are deeply grateful for his guidance and support.

He always looked for payment plans and some discount for us. I recommend many friend and all of them had successful applications. I will highly continue recommending him. MARLENY MONTERO

One of the best Solicitor firms to deal with Immigration matters. My case was looked after by Syed Naqvi who is the head of the immigration department and the way he dealt with my case and provide assistance and valuable advise was highly commendable. My ILR case was pending for almost 7 years, but with the efforts of Syed Naqi it was resolved within 3 to 4 months and I got my ILR and then the naturalization application was also approved straight away rather than waiting for a year before it can be applied. Another good thing about him is that he is an honest person without any greediness irrespective of if you want to continue your case with him or not.

Syed, Irene and Filip were absolutely amazing when my partner and I were going through a really tough visa process.

The odds were against us, but the team were so passionate in helping us and really took the time and effort to communicate with us, and support us throughout the process. What I truly admired is their transparency and realistic advice. I didn’t feel confused and mislead at all, which can be easily done during tough times.

The team were so supportive and honest, and gave advice that eventually helped us win our case. They had connections to fantastic barristers, that were honestly so helpful and reasonably priced.

They value and respect every situation, and will be recommending them to whoever needs support in any immigration services.

Thank you so much!!
