Excellent professional and straightforward assistance with our visa

This is the second time we are using Andre at Sydney Mitchell to assist with our spouse visa extension application. Andre is always true to his word and extremely helpful and clear with advice on timings and knowing what evidence to provide. Any dealings with UKVI are stressful and sometimes unpredictable, so having Andre lead with the applications is a huge comfort and reassurance for us. We highly recommend Andre to anyone needing a lawyer for their visas.

Excellent service, very highly recommend André and Sydney Mitchell!

We could not be happier with the outcome that André has achieved for us! He is a pleasure to deal with and he is an absolutely outstanding solicitor and expert in his legal field.

My Wife is from the Philippines and André assisted us with her UK visas. Firstly with her Fiancé visa to enter the country, for our wedding, and secondly with her Spouse visa, for her to be able to remain in the country with me.

From the very first conversation that I had with André I had confidence that he would be able to help us. André guided us every step of the way and handled all aspects of the application with expertise. André provided an absolutely first class service and both applications were immediately successful.

We are infinitely grateful to André and the team at Sydney Mitchell and recommend them completely and absolutely!

Highly recommended

Heleena was absolutely amazing! She handled both a business case and a personal matter for me with exceptional professionalism and care. Her expertise and dedication led to successful outcomes in both cases. Heleena's personal approach made me feel supported throughout, and her clear communication made complex processes much easier to navigate. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a solicitor who truly cares about their clients and delivers outstanding results!

Grateful for Guidance and Care

Finding the right partner is key in so many parts of life—whether it’s relationships, business, or legal support. That’s why we feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Melissa and Jamie from Sydney Mitchell Solicitors. Their expertise and genuine care turned what could have been an overwhelming spousal visa process into something we could handle with confidence. They understood our needs, guided us every step of the way, and made sure we always felt we were in good hands. We’re incredibly grateful for their help in making it possible for us to celebrate our first Christmas as a family in the UK.
