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

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

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!!

My case was stuck and I had guidance from a few solicitors, none of whom were able to help or guide me accurately. I am eternally grateful that I found Syed Naqvi. He fought for my case and guided me through every struggle with my case.
He is without a doubt the best solicitor that I have come across.

He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, efficient and patient. He has never once rushed me for anything and fought my case as if it was his own.

He also took on my wife’s and children’s cases, all of which were approved. His success rate is 100%.

I would definitely recommend Mr Syed Naqvi to anyone who wants to seek legal advice.

It is with Great happiness I write this, after so many years passing with my Immigration issue I have finally received my ILR confirmation today, I would like to Thank Head of Immigration Syed Naqvi ITN Solicitors for accepting to deal with my Tier1 (General) case in last minute in appeal stage. We thank him for his amazing work, and for helping me in preparing my WS, and my Bundle for my FTT Hearing and also advising me on what document to be gathered. And every step of the way he has guided myself and Mrs in preparing. Syed took the time to understand my situation in an individual level, at some point we even have spoken at late nights, that’s show much dedication he had for my case. If anyone have any immigration issues, the best person to get in touch is Syed Naqvi at ITN Solicitors, highly recommended. His amazing work being paid off by judge allowing my Appeal on the spot.
