First Class Service

5

My application to extend my Spouse Visa was the second time that I have used OTB's services and, once again, I wasn't disappointed.
Callam oversaw the whole procedure from start to finish his emails were prompt and precise (what documents needed to be uploaded to OTB's cloud) and he arranged two Zoom meetings well in advance (one a few months before my application and a second just before the application was sent). Certaintly his advice ensured that my application was received in the best possible light - I have just been notified that my application was successful.
I have to make my ILR application in two and a half years time, I will certainly be using OTB's first class services again.
Thank you Callam for all of your help l.

Professional and Clear Advice

Callam was really helpful with our application. Not only having outstanding immigration law knowledge, he was also patiently answering my bunch of questions at any time outside the meeting appointments. Moreover, he was also very responsive.

As a result, I have been granted for 5 years route on my spouse visa. Highly recommend Callam in helping your immigration application.

Professional and trust-worthy

I've talked to several immigration advisors from other firms and among all, Callam was the most patient and understanding one. Just in the first free consultation, which took 30 mins, he quickly identified what difficulties I was facing and was able to provide several potential approaches. My case involved a few risks and Callam made sure I'm informed of every one of them. He also explained very clear in what he'd help to minimize the risk. I also aprreciate OTB being transparent about their pricing.

Throughout the process, Callam has been quick in replying to my queries. He is also great with details, double-chekcing every item in the application and the supporting documents. My application was successful and it's been such a great relief. Switching visa is so stressful but Callam made the process so much smoother.

Thank you so much again Callam!

I'm a Filipino citizen living in UK with my husband. We used OTB legal to assist with FLR visa.
Callam Standen was our chosen lawyer.
The whole process was faultless easy to follow instruction with two on line video calls, Callam was always on hand when we needed that little extra advise. The whole application process from start to finish took about 3 weeks and received confirmation of visa acceptance Ten days later followed by BRP card in 3 more days.
Great job Callam we fully recommend OTB Legal and yourself.

OTB Legal have helped me with my visa applications twice now, and each time they have been supportive and understanding, all whilst providing a smooth and easy-to-understand approach to what can be quite a headache to deal with. Their pricing structure is also clear and straightforward, which I really appreciated too.

My second visa application came with a little hiccup as the Home Office made a quite important mistake on my BRP, by writing down the wrong visa on there. This had serious consequences on my lifestyle, and it got me incredibly stressed. OTB Legal - and particularly Callam Standen - were quick to get the Home Office to rectify this big mistake they had made. I cannot thank them enough for their help on this matter in what was a very stressful time. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone who is seeking legal support and advice with their immigration queries.

I had issues with my citizenship application. More than a year and a half passed and I have not received a response. OTB Legal was recommended to me. I spoke with Callam Standen. He was brilliant. He explained everything to me and answered all my questions and concerns. He sent a PAP to the HO mid July and we got a response back beginning of August that my application was granted. I would recommend OTB Legal 100%. I cannot thank them enough!
