Thank you Amrit Raindi

I have used the services of Duncan Lewis Solicitors to support my wife's leave to enter, leave to remain and indefinite leave to remain spouse visa applications, the latter two with the support of immigration solicitor Mr Amrit Raindi. I am very grateful to Amrit for all his help and expertise. Amrit was always very patient, polite, helpful and listened to and answered all questions that I asked. He made me feel reassured during what is quite a daunting experience. Best wishes Amrit

Exceptional Support: Navigating British Citizenship

I recently worked with Amrit Raindi from Duncan Lewis Solicitors to navigate the British citizenship application process. He reviewed my application form and supporting documents meticulously, ensuring everything was correctly completed. His insights and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the process.
I highly recommend Amrit for anyone seeking assistance with British citizenship applications. He made a complex process feel manageable, and I’m now proud to be a British citizen.
Thank you, Amrit for your outstanding support!

Excellent!

Had the pleasure of speaking to Amrit after coming across his profile on my search for an immigration solicitor. I had spoken to many other solicitors who gave me conflicting advice and some wanted money up front to a yes or no question. Amrit took his time out in guiding me in the right way and informed me that I should wait to apply for my British nationality (as I wouldn’t meet the rules yet) whereas others had told me to go ahead now and I would have wasted my money and time. I’m grateful to Amrit and I would definitely come back and use Duncan Lewis.

Great support

Amrita Sandhu was of great assistance in helping me prepare my legal application. She provided very useful legal advice and instructions, made very specific suggestions, helped me prepare a lot of documentation which she then painstakingly reviewed in several stages and promptly answered all my emails. When urgency, and effort were required, these were all provided. The process was quite demanding and over a considerable period of time, but the quality of the assistance provided never dropped in intensity. I was assisted through every step of my application.

Throughout the whole process I have felt at ease knowing my case has been handled professionally and promptly. Since the very beginning, Syma Tayyab has always fully explained the process and has always responded quickly and thoroughly to any questions I have raised. She has gone the extra mile to make sure that my case has been handled in a very compassionate yet professional and efficient manner. I have always been kept up to date with any progress without delay, either via email or phone and I am always fully aware of the next steps. I have never had to wait long for correspondence, which in such difficult times has been extremely reassuring. I would and have recommended Duncan Lewis to others in my position as I feel that their professionalism and knowledge is outstanding.
