We are refugees from Ukraine who had to flee our home due to the devastating conflict. When we arrived in the UK, the immigration officer initially denied us entry into the country. It was a very stressful and uncertain time for us. Thankfully, J.Preedy Solicitors stepped in and provided us with exceptional support. They helped us navigate the immigration process, managed our letters, and assisted us in applying for biometric documents and visa status. In just a few days, we received our visa approval. They didn’t stop there—J.Preedy Solicitors also helped us apply for an e-visa, making it possible for us to live safely and securely here in the UK. Their guidance gave us peace of mind during one of the most difficult times of our lives. We highly recommend J.Preedy Solicitors for their professionalism, dedication, and compassion.
