A refusal letter from the Home Office can be devastating. You may feel that all your future plans and family life is over. However, bringing an immigration appeal may be an option, and if you are successful, you can confidently get on with your arrangements. An immigration appeal is a structured process before an independent Tribunal that can overturn an incorrect Home Office decision or recognise that your human rights have not been respected.

From central London, Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors acts for clients in immigration appeals of all kinds, including human rights and family life appeals, protection appeals, EU Settlement Scheme appeals, deprivation of citizenship appeals, and deportation challenges. The firm is recognised by The Legal 500 as a top-tier practice for immigration, human rights, appeals, and overstays, and co-founder Dr Bernard Andonian is recognised in the Legal 500 Hall of Fame.

If you have received a negative decision and want to understand your appeal options before a deadline passes, you can contact us for expert legal advice and representation on the options open to you.

Why choose Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors for immigration appeals?

Immigration appeals are incredibly important. Your right to stay in the UK, your family life, and, in some cases, your safety can depend on the outcome. You need a legal team that treats appeal work as a central part of its practice rather than an occasional addon.

Our immigration law department is led by highly experienced solicitors, including founders Dr Bernard Andonian and Paul Gulbenkian, both of whom have served as Immigration Judges. Their experience on the bench gives the firm deep insight into how Tribunal judges approach evidence, legal arguments, and decision-making. They are supported by a specialist appeals and public law team that has overseen many hundreds of Tribunal cases, from Firsttier hearings to complex permission applications in the Upper Tribunal, Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court.

Many immigration appeals involve human rights issues, especially the right to respect for private and family life and, in protection cases, the right not to be exposed to serious harm. We approach the appeal strategy through that human rights lens, whether the issue is the removal of a parent, the refusal of a partner route, or the risk faced by someone returning to a particular country.

Realistic advice on prospects and routes

Appeals are not the right choice in every case. Sometimes an administrative review or a well prepared fresh application will offer a better outcome. Our role is to analyse your decision, your immigration history and the available routes, then explain the pros and cons of each option in clear terms.

You can expect a frank view on prospects of success, likely timescales and costs before you commit to an appeal. Protecting you from pursuing hopeless or weak appeals is part of our professional responsibility, which the firm takes seriously.

Structured preparation and inhouse advocacy

Our Immigration Law Solicitor aim to handle appeals from start to finish, including drafting grounds, preparing evidence, producing skeleton arguments, and conducting advocacy in the tribunal. This integrated approach means the person presenting your case understands it in detail and has been involved in shaping it from the outset.

Judges have publicly commended members of the team for their professional and thorough approach in written determinations, reflecting the care taken over bundles, legal submissions, and oral advocacy.

Regulated, London-based practice with global clients

Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and has operated as a niche immigration and human rights practice in London since the mid1980s. Our Immigration Law Solicitors acts for people across the UK and overseas, using phone, email and video conferencing to manage appeals for clients who cannot easily travel to London.

Being a regulated firm gives you protection under professional standards, clear complaint procedures, and proper handling of client funds.

Filing immigration appeals

An immigration appeal is a formal challenge to a Home Office decision, heard by an independent judge in the Firsttier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) or, on further appeal, in higher courts. The Tribunal looks at the decision afresh, considering the law, the facts, and any human rights issues relevant to your case.

Not every immigration decision can be appealed. Rights of appeal are now concentrated around:

  • Human rights decisions, including refusals on grounds of family and private life.
  • Protection decisions, such as refusals of asylum or humanitarian protection.
  • Certain EU Settlement Scheme and EEA decisions.
  • Some deprivation of citizenship and deportation decisions.

For other categories, there may be an Administrative Review route instead of an appeal, or Judicial Review may be the only option if the decision is alleged to be unlawful.

An appeal usually involves:

  • Filing an appeal form through the online MyHMCTS system within a strict deadline.
  • Preparing detailed evidence and witness statements.
  • Presenting your case and legal arguments at a hearing before a judge.

The process is formal and can be demanding, which is why investing in experienced legal advice and representation often makes a substantial difference.

Immigration appeals eligibility and key requirements

Immigration appeal advice from Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors is aimed at people and families who have received a refusal or other negative decision that attracts a right of appeal, and who want to challenge it robustly rather than accept the outcome.

You are likely to be in scope if:

  • Your refusal letter mentions a right of appeal to the tribunal.
  • The decision affects your human rights or protection claim.
  • You are ready to gather evidence and attend a tribunal hearing if needed.
  • Core requirements and decision factors

Some of the key elements that shape whether and how you can appeal include:

  • Human rights, protection, EUSS, and certain other decisions generally carry appeal rights. Pointsbased refusals often do not, and may instead offer Administrative Review.
  • Appeals must usually be lodged within 14 days if you are in the UK and 28 days if you are abroad, counted from the date of receipt of the decision. Missing these deadlines can severely restrict your options.
  • You must identify why the decision is wrong in law or fact, including any human rights grounds. Simply saying that the outcome feels unfair is not enough.
  • The Tribunal expects organised, relevant evidence that directly addresses the refusal reasons and supports your case, such as relationship proof, financial records, medical reports, or evidence of persecution.
  • Your current immigration position, whether you are facing removal, and the potential consequences if you have to leave the UK or are not allowed to return.

Our team assess these factors with you at the outset, then advises whether an appeal is appropriate or whether another route, such as a fresh application or Judicial Review, is more suitable.

How the immigration appeals process works

A clear roadmap helps you understand what will happen and what is expected of you. Our Immigration Law Solicitors structure appeal work in defined stages so that nothing important is left to chance.

Step 1: Case review and appeal strategy

You share your decision letter, previous applications and relevant background information with the firm. Your solicitor reviews the refusal reasons, checks whether there is a right of appeal, and identifies the legal issues and possible human rights arguments.

You then receive advice on whether to appeal, pursue Administrative Review, submit a fresh application, or, in some cases, consider Judicial Review instead.

Step 2: Lodging the appeal

If an appeal is the chosen route, we prepare and submit the appeal within the required time limit, including details of the decision under challenge and the grounds of appeal.

You will be asked for key information and documents at this point, and any applicable Tribunal fee will need to be paid.

Step 3: Evidence gathering and case building

Once the appeal has been lodged, the focus turns to assembling the material that will persuade a judge. This often involves:

  • Drafting detailed witness statements for you and relevant family members or other witnesses.
  • Collecting original documents, such as identity papers, relationship evidence, financial records and previous correspondence.
  • Commissioning expert reports where appropriate, for example, medical, country or social work evidence.

The firm organises this into a coherent bundle, crossreferenced to the issues raised in the refusal, and the legal grounds of appeal.

Step 4: Tribunal directions and hearing preparation

The Tribunal will usually issue directions setting out deadlines for evidence and skeleton arguments. We monitor these, ensuring compliance, and preparing a clear written argument for the judge, highlighting the legal errors and the key points in your favour.

You are also prepared for the hearing itself. This includes explaining the format of the day, the roles of the judge and Home Office Presenting Officer, and the kind of questions you may be asked.

Step 5: The appeal hearing

At the Firsttier Tribunal hearing, your solicitor or advocate presents your case, questions you and your witnesses where needed and responds to the Home Office’s arguments. You are supported throughout the day, whether the hearing is in person or by video.

Most decisions are not given on the day. Instead, the judge will usually send a written determination within a few weeks, setting out whether the appeal is allowed or dismissed and why.

Step 6: After the decision and further routes

Once the decision is issued, your solicitor will discuss the outcome with you and explains what it means in practice. If you win, the Home Office normally has to implement the decision, for example, by granting leave or revisiting the case in line with the judge’s findings.

If you lose, there may be scope to seek permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal on an error of law, or to consider alternative options depending on the judge’s reasoning. You receive clear advice on whether such further steps are realistic and worthwhile.

Timescales and costs

Immigration appeal timelines depend on the type of case, the Tribunal’s workload and whether there are any urgent factors such as removal directions. Recent figures and practice indicate that many First-tier Tribunal appeals take between six months and a year from the date of appeal to the date of decision. However, some resolve more quickly and complex cases may take longer.

Costs vary according to complexity, the amount of evidence required, the number of witnesses and whether further appeals are needed. You can read more about our pricing here.

Any likely additional expenses, such as interpreter fees, expert reports or separate counsel fees where used, will be discussed in advance and agreed with you before they are incurred.

Common issues and mistakes to avoid

Appeals succeed or fail on detail. Small errors or delays can have serious consequences for your case and your longer term immigration position. Taking care at the outset helps avoid unnecessary stress and wasted cost.

Common problems include:

  • Lodging the appeal late or to the wrong Tribunal.
  • Submitting minimal grounds of appeal that do not clearly explain why the decision is wrong.
  • Providing disorganised or incomplete evidence that does not tackle the refusal reasons directly.
  • Giving inconsistent accounts between the original application, interview, and appeal statements.
  • Ignoring the human rights aspects of a case, for example, the impact on children or long residence, where these are central to the tribunal’s assessment.
  • Leaving legal representation until the last moment restricts the time available to prepare your case properly.
  • Treating appeal hearings as informal, when in reality they are formal judicial proceedings with binding consequences.

Working with experienced appeal solicitors helps you avoid these traps and present your case in a way that meets the Tribunal’s expectations.

How Gulbenkian Andonian supports you

Our appeal advice and representation is built on close communication, careful preparation, and a long-term view of your immigration status.

You will work with an experienced Immigration Law Solicitor or Caseworker, who will update you regularly and explain each step in straightforward language. Meetings can take place in person at the London office or remotely by phone and video, which is especially useful if you are overseas or outside the capital.

Our appeal strategy is aligned with other parts of your case. For example, if you also have Administrative Review or Judicial Review options, or if there are ongoing family court issues, these are factored into the overall plan rather than dealt with in isolation.

The firm’s broader experience in asylum, human rights, deprivation of citizenship, and deportation work means that complex or sensitive factors can be handled confidently, including cases involving politically exposed people or those facing serious risks abroad. Throughout, the emphasis is on honest, practical guidance and representation that is thorough without being needlessly complicated.

FAQs

Who can bring an immigration appeal?

You can usually appeal if the Home Office decision falls into a category that carries a right of appeal, such as a human rights decision, a refusal of a protection claim, certain EUSS decisions, or some deprivation and deportation cases. Your decision letter will state whether you have this right and to which tribunal you can appeal.

How long do I have to appeal an immigration decision?

Time limits are strict. In many cases, you have 14 days from receipt of the decision if you are in the UK or 28 days if you are outside the UK, although you should always check your own letter. Acting quickly is important because late appeals may be refused or accepted only in limited circumstances.

Where will my immigration appeal be heard?

Most appeals are heard in the Firsttier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber). If you lose and there are arguable errors of law, you may be able to seek permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal and, in rare cases, further up the court system.

How long does an immigration appeal take?

Processing times depend on the type of appeal and the tribunal’s workload. Current data shows that many Firsttier Tribunal appeals take around 6 to 12 months from lodging the appeal to receiving a decision. Some categories, such as protection appeals, can be longer, while urgent cases may be prioritised.

Do I need to attend the appeal hearing?

You are usually expected to attend, either in person or by video link, so that the judge can hear your evidence and ask questions. In some situations, appeals can proceed on the papers alone, but this is uncommon in human rights and protection cases.

What happens if my appeal is allowed?

If your appeal is allowed, the decision is normally sent to the Home Office, which must then implement the outcome, for example, by granting leave or revisiting the decision in line with the judge’s findings. Your solicitor will explain what the determination means in practice and what you should expect next.

What happens if my appeal is dismissed?

If your appeal is dismissed, you may have the option to seek permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal on an error of law. We can review the determination and advise whether such a challenge is realistic or whether other options should be explored instead.

How are immigration appeals different from administrative review or judicial review?

Appeals involve a tribunal judge reconsidering the decision, looking at the facts, law, and human rights issues, and having the power to reach a new outcome. Administrative Review is an internal Home Office check for caseworking errors on the same facts. In contrast, Judicial Review focuses on the lawfulness of the decisionmaking process rather than redeciding the case.

Can Gulbenkian Andonian help if I am outside the UK?

Yes. The firm regularly acts for clients based overseas who are appealing entry clearance refusals, EU Settlement Scheme decisions and other appealable decisions made abroad. Communication and preparation are managed remotely, and representation is arranged for the Tribunal hearing in the UK.

Can you assist with deportation or deprivation of citizenship appeals?

Our team has significant experience in deportation, removal, and deprivation of citizenship cases, many of which proceed by way of appeal on human rights or nationality grounds.

    Exceptional Service – Highly Recommended!I had a truly fantastic experience working with the law firm of Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors for my visa processing and I cannot recommend my Legal Officer Leonardo Ferrando highly enough. From start to finish, he was incredibly prompt, thorough, and highly professional. Navigating immigration processes can be incredibly stressful, and I naturally had a continuous stream of questions. But he was patient and never frazzled by my multiple queries and took the time to answer every single one with clarity and detail. He made sure I felt supported and confident at every stage of my journey. Thank you for your outstanding support!

    Mr. Shazaib Hussain of Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors helped me to obtain my Indefinite Leave to Remain status, and I couldn't be happier! This is the third time I have used his services, and he has always been incredibly helpful and courteous. I can recommend Gulbenkian Solicitors wholeheartedly and without any reservation. Thank you so much!

    I was stuck in a bit of a complex situation regarding my immigration status and my path to citizenship, and it was finally ironed out after working with Gulbenkian. Shazaib was the solicitor who worked on my case, and he spared no expense in making sure I understood what was going on throughout the entire process, along with providing me timely updates whenever something changed, and well documented evidence of all the things he did for my personal records. I highly recommend them, especially if you've been subject to a lot of the more non-communicative, dismissive, or opaque procedure some other immigration solicitors unfortunately partake in.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Exceptional solicitors — I cannot recommend them highly enoughI cannot put into words how grateful I am to Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors, particularly Jahed and Hayk, for everything they have done for me over the past six years.My immigration case was an extremely long and difficult journey, with one obstacle after another. Jahed initially dealt with my case for the first couple of years and was absolutely brilliant. He handled everything with professionalism, care and dedication, and I always felt that I was in safe hands.My case was then taken over by Hayk, who is more senior, and I honestly could not have asked for a better person to continue fighting my case. Hayk did not simply treat me as another client or another case number. He genuinely cared about the outcome and never gave up on me, even when the situation became incredibly complicated and seemed to have no end.At one stage, Hayk successfully fought my deportation order against the Home Office, which was an enormous victory. Unfortunately, there were still further obstacles preventing me from being granted status, but Hayk continued to fight for me relentlessly. For years, he kept pushing forward, dealing with the difficulties and doing everything possible to find a way through.Yesterday, after more than six years of this journey, I was finally granted Indefinite Leave to Remain. It is difficult to describe what that moment meant to me. It was the end of a battle that had affected such a huge part of my life, and I know without any doubt that I would not be where I am today without the dedication and persistence of Jahed and Hayk.What makes Hayk’s support even more remarkable is his generosity. He has helped me with around 90% of the things he has done for me without even asking me for payment. In an industry where everything can feel transactional, his kindness and willingness to go above and beyond genuinely touched me. He gave me his time, expertise, patience and support because he wanted to help me—not simply because he was being paid to do so.I have dealt with many people throughout this long process, but Hayk stands out as someone who genuinely cares about his clients and will fight for them when it matters most.Jahed and Hayk, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You didn’t just help me with an immigration case; you helped me secure my future and gave me the chance to finally move forward with my life.If you are looking for immigration solicitors who are knowledgeable, professional, persistent, compassionate and genuinely willing to fight for you, I would recommend Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors without hesitation.Five stars do not feel like enough. Thank you for everything. ❤️

    Dr. Andonian and the team have been so helpful. I was feeling hopeless watching my mom try to “be okay” not living full time with her only family. It was killing me and it was genuinely killing her. We had previously been to multiple different lawyers in the UK who had told us our case was hopeless there was no chance that she would be approved. Dr. Andonian was the only person who gave us hope. He was honest and open about the process, chances of success, and process of appeal if we were rejected on our first application. The team helped so much in showing that we did have a strong case and supported us with all the documentation. When we went for our application submission (normally where the government may ask you questions or challenge you on the application) the clerk actually came out and said the application was full and complete and he had no follow up questions! That was definitely down to the expertise of the team.I am so happy and relieved to say my mom’s application was accepted on the first application and the fear she was going to grow old alone without her family has been erased. Thank you so much Dr. Andonian and team - I would recommend you unreservedly!

    We had applied for a visa on our own for my elderly mother, a US citizen, to live in the UK with us but were denied. We then worked with Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitor to apply for Leave to Remain for her. Our solicitor, Mr Shazaib Hussain, was wonderful to work with - compassionate and very thorough in ensuring we presented the best submission possible to the Home Office, and this time we were successful. I would highly recommend Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors - it is thanks to them that my mother now has permission to reside in the UK with us.

    I worked with Sherika and successfully received my UK Spouse Visa.

    We were overwhelmed and anxious when we started the visa process. Thankfully, with God’s guidance and our lawyer’s exceptional support, our visa was approved! She was incredibly detail-oriented, always patient with our frequent calls and questions, and made sure we understood every step along the way. Her professionalism, clarity, and personal care transformed a stressful experience into one filled with relief and gratitude. We sincerely appreciate all the time and effort she invested in our case. Without a doubt, we will call on her again for any future immigration needs and we’re happy to write this review to share how outstanding she is.

    Dr Bernard guided us through the entire UK family-reunion visa process with exemplary professionalism and genuine care. From the very first consultation, he set out every step, answered our many questions promptly, and kept us fully informed as the application progressed. His meticulous attention to detail ensured our dossier was complete and error-free, and his calm, reassuring manner turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth journey. If you need an immigration lawyer who is knowledgeable, responsive and truly invested in his clients’ wellbeing, we recommend Dr Bernard without hesitation.

    Shaz from Gulbenkian Andonian solicitors did outstanding work on our spousal visa application. He went through the application form with us, which was very helpful. He also worked overtime and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was done well. Shaz wrote a clear and excellent cover letter, and provided a very helpful list of documents to include with the application. All of this resulted in our application being successful, for which we are quite grateful. I have already recommended Shaz / Gulbenkian Andonian solicitors to other people I know who may need immigration advice and would happily engage Shaz again in the future.

    I want to personally thank Sherika for her unwavering support and dedication throughout this process. Sherika communication has been exceptional, and it’s clear how much effort and care she have put into our case. Her guidance has been invaluable, and we deeply appreciate everything she have done to help us.I also want to extend my gratitude to Dave for allocating Sherika to our case—it has truly been a blessing to have someone as committed and understanding as you assisting us.RT and family

    Being very badly treated by the HO myself (an Albanian citizen) and my European husband went to Gulbenkian Andonian in 2016, after many failed attempts with other solicitor offices. Hayk Sayadyan took on our case and he made sure to cure every detail of our application in terms of our own history and the law applicable to our case. Having changed three different solicitors by that point I was quite amazed at the level of knowledge and commitment from him. Needless to say that my application with him was successful (even though was a complicated case, being messed up from my previous solicitors) and I am now a British citizen. Since then I have recommended other friends and family members to Hayk and I have witnessed the same level of commitment, scrutiny and knowledge applied from him in their cases. I highly recommend him for his professionalism, his knowledge in his field and the level of commitment he applies in his work. You can tell he is not only prepared but is also passionate about his work and providing an excellent service for his clients.

    I have worked with Sajo at Gulbenkian Andonian on several occasions to notarise documents. He is highly efficient and has recently helped me with an urgent matter that needed his attention. He handled the situation with a lot of professionalism and a quick turnaround, ensuring everything was completed smoothly. Also, he always has communication with me, making me feel that the process is stress free and straightforward.

    I am really delighted with the services provided by Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors. The team is highly professional and their work is of exceptional quality. Especially I should mention Ms. Christine Wang who has led our application process from start to finish with no hustle. She is an excellent specialist solicitor with superb communication and customer skills. Our immigration application was prepared promptly, thoroughly and at a high quality. I am extremely happy with the overall service she provided and highly recommend her. I never worried about the application as I knew I was in reliable hands.

    My heartfelt thanks to Hayk and Team for your support and assurances as l had to go through the process of renewing my visa, it is a very depressing moment for me and my family as we have to gather all the paperwork needed to complete my application but because of your professional skills and support, we find ourselves grateful that we have received a favourable response from the Home Office and would not hesitate to recommend your firm to represent other people who might themselves in a difficult situation of processing their applications. Hayk and Caroline keep up the good work, your work is very much appreciated.....Dorothy and FamilyA very professional law firm with experienced solicitors, had lost hope with my case but with their expertise have won my case after a long and stressful process and would recommend anyone for professional legal advice.

    Not the cheapest. But one of the best immigration solicitors in the UK. My first contact with this firm, was about 8 years ago. Consultation fee was £350. Some other firms were collecting £100 . I was reluctant to use them. But, I decided to bite the bullet. I paid to see Dr. Bernard. I tell you what, this man is full of knowledge. He tells you not what you want to hear, but the truth. I have used there service over the years. Every outcome of services provided have been successful.In the 3rd week of March 2024, he submitted my application for ILR. Few days ago, less than 3 months, I was granted...remarkable.A friend of mine adopted a child abroad. Dr. Bernard didn't apply for the child to be given visa to join my friend in the UK. He applied for the child to be given citizenship. This was granted. The UK embassy issued this child a British passport in child's own country. This child eventually came to the UK as a British citizen. Not many solicitors could achieve this.Dr. Bernard is an immigration genius. My fear is that, he may retire one day, and this would be a loss to humanity.If you need quality immigration service, and prepared to pay for it, then visit this firm.

    We approached a Brick Wall on my daugher's case, thus, wasted at least 15 yrs with misleading representations, Her application got so messed up. It was an oppression on her life. . luckly, I approached Gulbenkian Andonian and met with Bernard. He looked at her file and smiled . My daughters case went through within a few months, she was so numb, when your job gets done after years of struggling, you just numb up. She was so happy. Bernard changed not only her life but it took a positive impact on our lives. As a struggling mum, trying to fight her case, at that stage most people walk away without a fight. Dont let this happen to you, visit Bernard, . He is very efficient, works with detail, professional as his work is perfect, he is so calm to work with, he made it seem like a piece of cake. He knows the Law. Bless him! I highly advise dont waste your time, get the job done first time round!. He sorted my other daughter's British Nationality application as well. He is lovely to work with and changed our lives for the better. He handles extremely complicated cases, including cases that get messed up without professional representation. I heartly wish to thank him from the bottom of my heart! Thank you, for giving us Hope for a better future.

    I cannot thank the team enough for their professionalism and knowledge.My husband and I went through an application for a spousal visa, and though the process was still not stress free, it was significantly easier knowing that there was someone in our corner. We especially cannot thank Shazaib Hussain enough, who was so friendly, professional and efficient. His communication with us throughout the process was top notch. He is clearly very experienced, and gave us clear expectations of what we needed to provide and what he would provide us. He was also extremely flexible with our schedules as we both work full time and were not always readily available.Thanks to his expertise, my husband and I get to be together without worrying.

    When choosing a law firm or finding a solicitor for your matter, it can be daunting and as sceptical and doubtful it can be very hard and stressful to stumbled on someone who can represent you with honesty and stand by your side but with Gulbenkian AS it’s a different matter.I looked around and I had some choices but my heart took me straight to Gulbekian Andonian Law Firm where I met Danny & Mr Henry Lau. This is where my mind find peace because I knew I was in good hand and I couldn’t be more excited to be their client and they can represent me.From day one, they have been outstanding and absolutely amazing. Henry is not just a senior solicitor, he is an incredible human being with great experience and guide you with the best advise. He walked me thorough all the possibilities and the opportunity to raise above the home office decision. There was a time where I just lost hope but Henry walked me through my dossier and gave me hope and guided me all the way along, I cannot thank him enough. He called me to say that we won the case and I was still in shock because I lost hope but him not, he is a humble optimistic true lawyer leading his cases with greatness.If you ask me if I recommend Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitor for your stuff, absolutely a “YES, 100%” !!Gulbenkian Andonian Firm don’t sale you or promise you a trip to the moon but they work with you until your stuff are settled. -Amine

    I wholeheartedly would like to thank Jahed and Fadi for their service assisting me with my immigration matter, the many meetings, consultations, and court hearing. My case took almost a year to be resolved. At times, it was very overwhelming and stressful for me. During the whole process, Jahed especially he showed true care and attentiveness not only towards my case but also my personal issues. I also would like to thank Henry, he did not work on my case but he did come across me occasionally waiting to be seen and approach me to send me warm regards. It's been over a year since I use the immigration service from Gulbenkian Andonian. I still think about these genuinely nice people sometimes. With their presence and expertise, it made my whole experience dealing with legal matters a lot more bearable. I would recommend anyone who needs immigration assistance to use this law firm.

    I came to Gulbenkian Andonian in a rush to apply for indefinite leave to remain. I was way over the limit of days you're allowed to leave the UK and with Brexit and the pandemic, I was honestly worried. I contacted the firm and I was put in touch with Henry straight away. Within a few days of getting in touch with him, he had already finished my application. I was apply to apply for ILR in a timely manner and before I knew it my application was granted without any issues. Henry was responsive, professional and did great work. I had been to another firm before but the service I serviced here was truly first class. I've already recommended the firm to my siblings who will be doing their applications very soon as well.

    I would like to thank the whole legal team of Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors in general for the service they have delivered to me and the excellent solicitors Mrs Zara and Mr David in particular for their honourable work and dedication to my case. Mrs Zara was a beacon of hope to my family during a time of uncertainty and desperation. Not only she managed to get my case solved in no time, her calm and positive attitude reflected on us and contributed largely towards raising the level of our confidence. My family and I are eternally grateful for the service she had delivered and I herby recommend Mrs Zara Shamal without reservations.

    gulbenkian Andonian Solictors are not just Immigration lawyers but a family you can rely and count on even when the chips are down. Fadi took over my ILR complicated appeal case. It was a great experience and i received great service, which was the best. Fadi effectively and clearly communicated with me throughout the entire process and made everything easy and fast. Fadi showed his expertise in all immigration areas as he answered all our questions and concerns. I highly recommend anyone facing challenges with their visa application to place their trust with Gulbenkian Andonian. As I am writing this Review, I have just won my ILR appeal which was very complicated due to Gap and home office unlawful policy.thanks to Fadi, Dave, Zara, Caroline, Danny, Hayk, Sajo and Henry and the rest of Team Gulbenkian for a fantastic job well done.RegardsSafeer

    Gulbenkian Andonian were very transparent, knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly in handling my case. Positive results were achieved in an unexpectedly short time every time I consulted and used their service. I am glad to have met and utilised their help for taking care of my case, it certainly was quicker and less stressful using Gulbenkian Solicitors.A special and big thank you to Mr. Farhat who handled my case and helped me so much throughout my immigration journey.

    An exclusive and amazing moment of truth from Gulbenkian Solicitors who have outstandingly and amicably strived, represented and rescued my wife from the wrath of eviction by the Home Office from UK after 18 years of overstay faltering. My spouse’s case had been declined by The High Court Tribunal on about 3 occasions with no room for appeal. Amazingly Gulbenkian Solicitors exceptionally teamed up and eloquently provided excellent customer service through a high degree of articulation, diligence and professionalism that has seen 1st Tier-Tribunal Immigration Judge granting my wife right of leave to remain in the UK. I highly recommend anyone with similar complex immigration situation and seeking legal status to use Gulbenkian Solicitors. Beyond no reasonable doubt, my wife’s situation was awfully difficult, but rest-assured a positive and unexpected solution has been successfully achieved.

    Dave and Henry have become my personal heroes of immigration appeal matters! Dave earned my trust from the first meeting as an honest, balanced and reliable person who can fix my broken case. Henry who has further dealt with my case is extremely knowledgeable, committed and just a warm person to work with throughout such a rocky and emotional matter. We have eventually won the case in the court due to their patient and intricate work. I have been blessed to work with both of the two gentlemen and wish Gulbenkian Andonian to continue this great mission in defending the real stories of the people brushed aside by the bureaucratic box-ticking exercise. Bonne chance!

    This is very exciting moment to give a excellent review where i have received the service and it will defiantly memorable for rest of my life.firstly, i do apologies to Dave and Jahed Murad, becoz its bit late to write this review as i was busy with my personal life and went back to my country.I received my visa under the 7 years uk born child family and private life Application. i receive the visa in first time application with in 8 months, becoz, my case worker fellow Mr. Jahed Morad prepare the whole application with cover letter under the law and rules regulations that home office honoured us leave to remain in Uk. Jahed was fantastic, friendly, very straight and truly honest speaker and hard worker regarding my application.Dave Vasoodaven, is the most kind person i saw in law industry so far in my life. firstly i met with him and i told my whole immigration history to him and he was sympathy-zed and showed his kindness and humanity to take my case and referred to Jahed Morad. Many thanks to everyone.

    I strongly advice Gulbenikan Andonian as a company, and Mr. Henry & Mr. David individually. I have been struggling for three years with home office & with my previous law firm till I find Gulbenikan Andonian. From the first they I went to talk about my issue, they have assured me that the application they will make will be successful. They are very professional, they exactly know what they are saying and doing. Apart from their professional approach, every single person I contacted in their office are always warm and friendly. You can trust these people in your matters as much as you can trust yourselves. My only regret is not finding them at the beginning of my journey, but I can`t be enough thankful to them as they succeed in my application, and brought my family together. They always talk based on relevant law, and never play with the words for just taking your money. They deserve every single penny they ask for.

They are well experienced in immigration courts from my own experience.Zara shamal was incredibly helpful and she has a very structured approach to preparing the appeal bundle. She really is such a asset to this law firm.Henry expertise on human rights and appeal was outstanding and fantastically intelligent.Without any hesitation, I will definitely recommend Gulbenkian ANDONIAN.

    Thank you very much Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors.Me and my wife had a great experience with Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors team.I must admit that we had a very complicated and difficult immigration case which was turned down by many law firms. We were on the edge of leaving the U.K when we were referred to them. Our case was handled in a very highly professional manner and a successful outcome which couldn’t be achieved without the help of Mr Dave Vasoodaven, Ms Zara Shamal, Mr Henry Lau and not forgetting Mr Fadi Farhat. It was a long battle over the years which finally turned into a success.Mr Dave Vasoodaven is a very honest, professional person and has a great sense of humour. I still remembered the first appointment with Mr D. Vasoodaven. He guided and advised us all the way along and I would say he acted as a father to me.Thank you Ms Zara Shamal and Henry Lau for your dedication and hard work, advises and kept us updated on our case all the time. You were highly professional, passionate and patience with us. You went an extra mile to make our case successful.A big thank you for Mr Fadi Farhat. We were blessed to have you representing our case in the tribunal. Your dedication and passion on our case made us felt like pulling our sinking boat to the shore.I would also like to thank Caroline and Danny for their support and warm welcome every time we visited your office.I sincerely appreciate your team effort and will never hesitate to recommend your services to anyone.

    While myself and my fiancé were searching for a good reliable solicitor to represent my ILR case, we came across Gulbenkian Andonian Law Firm in Google. We approached them and met Dave who was pleasant and hopeful at the first introduction itself. Thereafter, I was introduced to my solicitor Fadi who was just brilliant! Although I was a demanding and impatient client, Fadi handled my requirements and worked on my case productively and we won it! I also must mention Henry was very cooperative and helpful in assisting on my case. Overall I highly recommend them and I am very thankful I choose them for my ILR case. Thank you Fadi, Dave & Henry once again!

    Our Ukrainian family had a hopeless immigration past.We applied first time with our previous solicitors to the Home Office 7 years ago and had been refused.We spent a lot of money and had lot of worries.By the recommendation of some friends,we came to Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors.Their advice to us was very good and they gave us the best solution.Jahed Morad was our lawyer and caseworker and he put same confidence in us.So,when we applied with Jahed after less than 6 months, we had a successful case and got residence permit cards.In our opinion,it is better to deal with professionals even if it cost bit more,then loose time and more money for someone unprofessional.Many Thank’s to Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors and to Jahed Morad.

    I had a very complex case and had been turned down by a few firms as my case was termed a "waste of time" as i had had just too many refusals plus a deportation letter under my belt until I was introduced to this firm.They are true professionals, respectful, dedicated and very thorough with you so you know where you stand with your case and with that I have been granted the leave to remain after a "looooooooooong" heart breaking battle with the State.Give them a try as no case is too big, too small or too useless for them.They have an AMAZING TEAM.Thanks EVERYONE.

    I consider my case was very complicated and I was turned down by other law firms as they cannot deal with it, with Gulbenkian Andonian I had one simple answer don’t worry we can help, I found it unbelievable but mr Jahed Morad was very calm and collective to gather all info about the case, as a result they changed my life from uncertain future to free man and that left a great impact on my family. If anyone looking for solicitors look no further. Thanks for the whole team .

    I’ve known the firm for 10 years now. I can’t even explain how incredible they have been since day one!The staff have always made sure that they give me comprehensive explanation with regards to my cases.Not only they assure outstanding immigration advice and services, they were also emotional uplifts.I truly consider them as my family and of course Mr. Dave vasoodaven as being the father of the family.My case was prepared by Hayk and Fadi and they made sure that every single detail was addressed to the fullest depth.At my hearing day, Fadi presented my case with such astonishing manner in which case the judge thanked him in the end for his greatness.I was honoured to be introduced to Caroline as she has inspired me a lot in terms of maintaining patience specially throughout difficult times that sometime I tend to neglect it (patience is a virtue).Zara and Caroline are definitely superwomen and I look up to them a lot.I definitely recommend the team work at the firm!

    Good Day,My story that led me to gulbenkian solicitors started 6 years ago. i sent in my british passport for renewal and it was siezed by the passport office as well as my application rejected. I visited and engaged 3 different law firms that did work that was quite subpar .Eventually i came to Gulbenkian , I met Dave Vasoodaven who i must say is an amazing person. The initial meeting was so different from the ones i had with previous firms by a country mile and immediately i was on board.I have to give a huge special thanks to Hayk Sayadan who took the reigns eventually and to describe Hayk, I will say , no Ego, very high IQ's , patient, persistent and a master at his craft.With Dave also being extremely knowledgeable and with a huge amount of experience and wisdon , very intelligent and as sharp as can be .I honestly felt as if i had a lawyer and a therapist at the same time in each of them , seeing as this ordeal could have come along with a lot of depression for me. I avoided this by talking with them both while we fought tooth and nail on my case.Well my renewed Passport arrived a week ago and we are moving on to indemnity claims for the inconvenience .I learnt so much from my time with them and i want to thank the whole firm for their efforts.Also a big thank you to Caroline the receptionist for her curtesy.i would highly recommend them without blinking to anyone going through legal issues.They are great!!Mr B.

    The Mendez Family Case . This testimony is a family one, we were looking for a lawyer to trust with our case we had been 7 years in this country and we wanted the opportunity to get a residence permit. We thought our case would be hard and long but we are glad to say our choice of lawyers to help our case was the best decision we made as a family. They helped us throw hard times, my daughter's college applications for her to study to other personal things. They made sure we were well looked after and always happy to help. After 10 months against the Home Office, we as a family will never forget the day we got the news from Mr Fadi Farhat and Ms Zara Shamal that we had won, thinking we were going in to talk to our lawyer about our hearing turns out there would be no need for a hearing, after their hard work and dedication to our case they were able to make this happen in just 10 months. We thank the whole firm for helping my family obtain this gift, and we highly recommend for any legal advice and help. We would also like to thank Mr Fadi Farhat for his patience in every appointment with us as it was easier and much more comfortable and made us feel at ease with him being able to speak Spanish for his patience in every appointment with us as it was easier and much more comfortable and made us feel at ease with him being able to speak Spanish

To me, they are the best immigration lawyers in the UK. Thumps up to Dave Vasoodaven and world class Barrister, Fadi Farhart. To all the staff especially, Zara and Caroline who we used to worry with our numerous calls, may Almighty God bless you all.

    I am 28 yrs old businessman from Pakistan, due to my negligence, I made some genuine mistakes 4 years ago in filling the form for the UK visit visa application from Pakistan for myself & my little sister and was subsequently put on automatic refusals for a period of upto 10 years by the Home Office which greatly affected my professional & personal life aswell as of my sister’s as we were barred from traveling to the UK and other European countries. However after consulting with Dave Vasoodaven of Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors, he helped me and managed to lift my 10 years automatic refusals and is also now helping lift the same for my sister and straighten her immigration record with the Home Office. He has also promised to help us in getting the visa’s. Dave is one gem of a person and a complete expert in his field. If you have a genuine case and you are facing problems getting through with the Home Office, immediately consult Dave Vasoodaven of Gulbenkian Andonian Solicitors.

My immigration case was quite complex as I am non-European, plus Brexit wasn't helping either. Gulbenkian Solicitors did all the applications and the legal advice I received from them was extremely precious and I would say vital in getting positive results in my case. No surprise - they are actually the Top Tier Solicitors in the UK! Amazing job! Definitely recommend them! The best immigration solicitors in London!

    Sajo Thomas at Gulbenkian Andonian notarised and arranged apostille on several documents for me. Not only did he provide a very competitive fee quote (compared with 5 others) but he was diligent and efficient in our dealings. Highly recommended.

    I used Gulbenkian Andonian solicitors over the period of 2016 to guide me with an indefinite leave to remain application for a friend with a 1 year old daughter.I was drawn to engaging the services of Dr Bernard Andonian because of his significant expertise as a part-time judge, and because of his participation in roundtable discussions with some of the best human rights and immigration lawyers in the country.During our initial consultation, Dr Andonian explained the application process very clearly to me after hearing the details of our case. Most importantly, he was candid about which stages of the entire application process bore the most uncertainty and risk of a negative outcome.Over the time we engaged his services, he gave much invaluable advice on how best to present our case favourably to the Case Officer overseeing the application. In terms of client care, he was careful to assuage any irrational fears and concerns which we had, and there were many, now we have the privilege of hindsight. It didn’t feel like we were merely receiving a paid-for service, but that we had the support of an ally – the mark of a true professional, in my opinion.There are many practising immigration solicitors in the field, some of whom use business models that pay a greater degree of attention to securing positive outcomes for clients than others. I remain firm in my conviction that had I not been as lucky to engage the services of Dr Andonian on behalf of my friend, there could easily have been an additional one year old girl in the world who would have been deprived of the right to live a life with her father.I unreservedly recommend this firm to anyone who is need of professional immigration advice.

    Great service! Everyone was very friendly, professional and willing to help - from the receptionist through to the practitioners. I needed to make a statutory declaration and I was able to get it done in my lunch break. Hayk Sayadyan dealt with my case swiftly and with a smile. He was thorough and saw me at a short notice. I would recommend this practice for the speed, convenience and helpful people.

    This firm handled my case with the greatest efficiency and professionalism, it truly lives up to its reputation as a renowned central London based immigration law firm. I don’t know what the previous commentator is talking about, he/she seems to fit the dictionary definition of a racist!
