We hired Callam Standen from OTB Legal to provide us with visa advice and assist us with our application for a spouse visa in March 2024. We wanted to move back to the UK with our kids and we needed some guidance to get through the detailed process of applying for my wife's visa. Callam was very calm, reassuring and knowledgable, and made from the first meeting made us feel optimistic about our chances of obtaining the visa if we followed the steps properly.
He met with us online at various stages during the application, and gave insightful solutions to the uncertainties and worries that we had. Ultimately, he supported us from the first contact with OTB until he had successfully completed our visa application a couple of months later. My family was able to happily reunite in the UK after we followed Callam's careful advice.
Callam Standen from OTB Legal responded to this review on 03 March, 2025:
Thank you for the kind review Jonathan and hope you are all keeping well.

My experience with OTB, and in particular my solicitor Amrit Singh, has been so refreshing and restoring, after a long and complicated journey through immigration processes. From the outset, Amrit took the time to listen to the history of my case and I felt truly heard through his approach which was comprehensive, thorough & specifically tailored to my needs. I felt so supported through what was an extremely stressful process, all the way through until the successful result and beyond. Always responsive and able to answer my questions along the way. He made the process so smooth and clear, it was the best decision I ever made & I am forever grateful that I found OTB! This is the definition of quality care & professionalism. I look forward to working with Amrit & the OTB team again for my application for citizenship and would always recommended them to anyone I know.
Amrit Singh from OTB Legal responded to this review on 21 February, 2025:
Thank you very much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you this time and look forward to hearing from you again. Regards Amrit

I reached out to Emma for help with my immigration status, and from the very beginning, she carefully analyzed my complex situation. She provided clear, professional advice to guide me in the right direction and explained every step of the process in detail, ensuring I fully understood all the terms and requirements.
During one of the most stressful times in my life, Emma then supported me throughout the entire ILR process which could have been stressful, but with her expert guidance, everything went smoothly and felt manageable. I am incredibly grateful for the positive outcome she helped me achieve.
Her expertise, knowledge, and dedication are truly exceptional. I highly recommend Emma to anyone in need of a reliable and professional immigration solicitor.

Exceptional Service and Expertise
I cannot recommend Mark Lilley-Tams highly enough. Originally from Albania, I am a British citizen who sought asylum as a Kosovan in 1999. When I first arrived in the UK with my two children, an interpreter advised me to claim as Kosovan, despite my strong case to apply as Albanian. In 2022, I decided to inform the Home Office about my true identity and clarify my circumstances. From the moment I reached out to OTB Legal, I was impressed by their supportive approach and professionalism in handling my case.
Mark Lilley-Tams took the time to fully understand my situation and provided clear, detailed explanations every step of the way. He guided me through the process, making what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable.
Throughout our work together, Mark demonstrated remarkable knowledge and expertise. He was always responsive—even during his time off—ensuring I was kept up to date on every development. He handled all aspects of my case with meticulous care and attention to detail. His communication was always clear, concise, and reassuring.
What truly set Mark apart was his dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me. He went above and beyond, working tirelessly to resolve the challenges surrounding the details of my Naturalisation Certificate efficiently and effectively. Despite facing uncooperative responses from the Home Office, which caused delays, Mark showed an exceptional understanding of the legal complexities of my case. He suggested pursuing a Judicial Review, believing it was the best way to expedite the process.
Mark also represented me in court alongside a top barrister from Garden Court Chambers, who specializes in asylum, nationality law, and human rights—another testament to the high level of expertise OTB Legal brings to the table. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, I successfully achieved a positive outcome in my Judicial Review and was even reimbursed for all my expenses.
If you’re looking for a solicitor who combines professionalism, expertise, and a personal touch, look no further than Mark Lilley-Tams. I’m incredibly grateful for everything he has done, and I will undoubtedly turn to him again for any future legal needs. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert legal representation. His unwavering support and commitment to securing the best result have earned my deepest gratitude.
Thank you, Mark Lilley-Tams and OTB Legal, for your outstanding service and support!
Mark Lilley-Tams from OTB Legal responded to this review on 13 February, 2025:
Thank you Entela for the thoughtful and detailed feedback. It has been a pleasure assisting you with your case! Thanks, Mark
