BNO visa

Ms Lydia Watkinson helped me to secure my BNO visa. My case was not straight forward but she was patient, knowledgeable, personal and efficient. Whenever I had any questions, she would reply to me within the same day. I am grateful to Lydia and her team to do all the hard work and secure a positive result.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the outstanding services provided by Lydia Watkinson at OTB Law Firm in helping me navigate the intricate complexities of the Skilled Worker Dependant visa process.

Professional, generous and efficient

My family had been refused a visa but after a consultation with OTB Legal’s solicitor Ms. Lydia Watkinson, we had great confidence in the BNO visa application. Lydia was very professional, generous and efficient. She made the application process hassle free. We are very lucky to have found you as our solicitor. Thank you once again!

Great service

Lydia was very helpful and professional to get my application completed successfully. Because of some circumstances it was not an ordinary application so she deserves more than 5 stars to spot on time the right path for me and avoiding a rejected application

Citizenship application

5

OTB Legal team is second to none when it came to immigration matter and their fees. I will say was very lucky to have them as my solicitors through Google search. My Citizenship application was prepared to the highest standard by Lydia Watkinson. She's very professional, compassionate and attention to detail. I received the result we wanted.
Lydia will return calls and emails within few hours. I will recommend 100%.

Big thanks to Sally, Lydia, Sam and Caitlyn who helped me with my ILR application. The lawyers are extremely professional, and they did an incredible job. They also cover really well for each other when on holiday/leave. Sally put me at ease at the start, and Lydia and Sam did the same when reviewing my documents. Big thanks to Caitlyn and Sally who kept checking for any outcome related emails and emailing me regularly which helped me manage my anxiety over the outcome. The outcome was successful in the end, for which I am very grateful to the team. I highly recommend OTB!
