I recently engaged Sunrise Solicitors to handle my wife's ILR application, but unfortunately, my experience with them has been extremely disappointing. Despite the straightforward nature of my wife's application, I decided to seek legal assistance from Sunrise Solicitors due to the possibility of her needing to stay outside the UK for an extended period, which could have affected her continuous residency. My intention was to ensure that the solicitor could provide the necessary support if such a situation arose. However, their handling of my case has left much to be desired. From the very beginning, it was evident that Sunrise Solicitors had a lack of attention to detail and a disregard for prompt communication. After our initial call regarding my wife's absences from the UK, I sent them follow-up questions seeking clarification. Unfortunately, I had to rephrase and repeat my inquiries multiple times to obtain a response. It became apparent that they were overwhelmed with their workload, resulting in a lack of attentiveness to client queries and concerns. As the application submission deadline approached, I reached out to Sunrise Solicitors for the list of required documents and the earliest possible submission date. Regrettably, I had to chase them multiple times before receiving any semblance of an answer. Shockingly, they failed to provide a response regarding the submission date altogether, but did manage to arrange a meeting to draft the application form. During this meeting, I explicitly inquired about the submission date, as my wife had an urgent matter that might require her to leave the UK. The solicitors assured me that they would provide the information the following week. However, when I conducted my own research, I discovered that we could have submitted the application a week earlier. Seeking clarification, I reached out to them via email, but to my dismay, I never received a response. I was simply ignored and left hanging. Frustrated by their lack of professionalism and communication, I took matters into my own hands and independently submitted the application. Miraculously, my wife's ILR was granted within a few days, highlighting the unnecessary delays and inefficiency caused by Sunrise Solicitors' negligence. What disappoints me the most is that I paid for a service that I did not receive. I was forced to continuously chase them for basic information and wasted a significant amount of time in the process. Their lack of transparency in failing to provide a reason for not giving me a submission date further underscores their unprofessionalism. Moreover, their responses were often inadequate and simplistic, showcasing a lack of depth and consideration for my wife's specific circumstances. I expected a more knowledgeable and supportive approach from a professional solicitor, especially when dealing with such crucial immigration matters. Additionally, Sunrise Solicitors' lack of organization was evident throughout our engagement. Every time I called, I had to reiterate my wife's situation, which left me feeling frustrated and disheartened. I believe it is reasonable to expect a solicitor to be well-informed about their clients' cases and to provide consistent support throughout the process. In conclusion, I strongly discourage others from seeking assistance from Sunrise Solicitors. Their unprofessionalism, lack of attention to client inquiries, failure to respect urgency, and overall disorganized approach have left me deeply dissatisfied. I would recommend exploring alternative immigration solicitors who value their clients' time and demonstrate a higher level of professionalism.Moreexpand_more
Don't waste your time and money with these folks. You're better off representing yourself. After instructing them you'd lose your will to live, with their flimsy, incompetent and unprofessional "representation", it's disgraceful. This is a legitimate review having used the service of Sunrise Solicitors personally, and now representing myself via a Barrister.
If anyone experiencing a hard time with immigration you just walk direct to sunrise solicitors they will guild you and tell you the best solution they could give. I was very depressed because I’ve been refused for first time. By going to consulting with sunrise solicitor you just bring you document as much as you can provided then they will do the job.
The WORST experience with this company. They are highly incompetent, we were given a wrong legal advice, they have sent a wrong application. We are dealing with Amir and Denada. The only thing they care about is money as according to them they can make all the mistakes but you would never be entitled to a refund. Stay away! .
We received excellent advice from Arshad at Sunrise Solicitors. Our case workers Alina and Denada expertly prepared and submitted applications for me and my family. Recently, our application was successful. My son's application is still in process. I am thankful to Sunrise Solicitors for their highly professional and efficient service.
I did not have to go through service reviews or their service catalog when I selected Sunrise Solicitors this time. My wife's ILR application was our second dealing with Sunrise Solicitors. Due to my previous experience with them, I did not have to think twice before deciding to go with them for the ILR application. At the very meeting with Arshad(Arshad Mahmood), he explained me the application process, what documents are required and fee structure. He was kind enough to explain the alternative approaches to take when I explained potential uncertainties. That very first discussion put our minds at ease about the whole process. Arshad then handed over our case to Asif (Asif Rizwy), who was pleasant to deal with from that day onwards. I may have called him dozens of times to get some issues clarified, but he always had to time for my questions. He is knowledgeable about the process and thorough with document checking. It was a real pleasure dealing with him. When we went to our appointment we were almost certain our case would be successful due to the thorough and vigilant process. Legal representative Tahir (Tahir Mehmood) was also quite helpful on our appointment day, making sure our appointment went ahead without any issues. Sunrise Solicitors are excellent at immigration issues and I can recommend them after dealing with them twice. I would highly recommend them to anybody.Moreexpand_more
Experts in UK immigration and very thorough in what they do. I strongly recommend Sunrise for UK immigration matters. I have approached Arshad based on few friends recommendation and he looked into the immigration matter, suggested the plan which boosts up the confidence to the situation I was in. Arshad assigned Asif Rizwy as my case worker. Asif Rizwy really did a great job in processing 2 of our applications in short time (under 2 weeks). Asif is systematic, hands on, focused, easily approachable and very knowledgeable in UK immigration matters. Thank you very much both Arshad/Asif and Sunrise for your support in my immigration matter. All the best.
Was about to loose hope when I came in touch with Sunrise Solicitors. They have been so patient with me and gave me the result I so long to have. I can a gladly say that this is the best way I and my husband have so far spent our money cause it did yield fruits. Thanks again to Sunrise Solicitors and I do recommend it to all those looking for results.
I first contacted Sunrise Solicitors on behalf of my mum. She was a British Protected Person (with the BPP passport) and wanted to register as a British Citizen. I explained the entire situation and my mum's history in the initial email and asked for an appointment. We had the first consultation with Arshad and he was very knowledgable. The only thing is regarding my mum's situation is that very few people are clear about what the BPP status actually is at the moment. Most Commonwealth citizens status are akin to the Windrush generation status. The Home Office itself has published conflicting guidance on it - basically what happens for one BPP is not usually the same for another BPP. As it is an old form of nationality from the post-colonial times, fewer people in the Home Office actually know what it is and what rights you receive while holding that status (experienced this at the airport). Arshad knew this and warned us of the issues and did agree we should apply under section 4b. I had suggested this in my email as well as I had seen this online. He then delegated the case to Alina who was very helpful. It helped that my mum had already prepared most of the application in rough ahead of the appointment, Alina then used this to do the application so that really saved time for us. Alina then prepared the introduction letter which we carefully reviewed, very impressed with the letter which was very well laid out and very clear. The application was sent off in late April and we were requested to do the biometrics in mid-July. We were extremely grateful that the application was approved in late August. In our case, I can definitely recommend Sunrise Solicitors, particularly Alina. I think that when coming to any firm, people have to keep in mind that the solicitors are all human with a large number of cases. We were happy to call and email the solicitor for updates, at least twice a month and sometimes even reception can help with the query. The people who work in this firm deal with sensitive and complicated cases, so you have to work with them to track your application. We are extremely grateful to the firm for all services provided and thankful to have met them.Moreexpand_more

Many thanks to Sunrise Solictors for helping me with my FLR FP Private Life application. Due to your hard work and efforts, my application was approved! Special thanks to Jamila for her professionalism and kind words which kept me at ease throughout the whole process. I would recommend using Sunrise Solictors :).
I would like to thank all the staff from Sunrise Solicitors that gave me a great service and took my case with efficiency and professionalism. My application was approved within an hour due to the great work of my caseworker Mr. Paolo Barbato(big thanks to him! ) who knew what he was doing and made everything looks really easy. Without his help I most likely would have struggle with my application. Another thank you to Arshad who I met on consultation before going into my application and gave me his feedback on my chances based on his vast experience. Overall Sunrise solicitors is in my personal opinion one of the best immigration firms around London.
I would like to thank Mr. Asif for his tremendous support starting from opening the file to get the ILR approval. During this period he has shown high professionalism and also managing expectations. Without his hard work and commitment I wouldn't be successful in my ILR application. Thanks Asif for all your help. I would also like to thank Tahir for submitting application, guiding and helping me in all the day in Home Office yesterday. He is a dynamic and very energetic person. He was always an helping hand in HO. I had excellent experience with Tahir yesterday. Thanks Tahir for your help yesterday whole day. Ofcourse, special thanks to Mr. Amir for initial consultancy for advising me the right route and oversee the entire application process. His knowledge in immigration laws is tremendous. Thanks all of you for your support.Moreexpand_more
This is the second time we have used Sunrise Solicitors and can not fault their help. This time round they help with my wife's ILR visa and was helped through the whole process with Paolo completing our paperwork etc, and Kevin checking and attending the one day service at the home office and helped us through until we got her visa. So thanks to Paolo and Kevin and Mr Mahmood at Sunrise. Mr and Mrs Kent.
I am very thankful to sunrise Solicitors for success of my RoR application, specially I am thankful to Jamila, Arshad sir and Aamir sir. My RoR application is successful due to hardwork of all of you guys. I am very impressed with your legal advice step by step which lead me to success. I feel that if I went anywhere else I may be rejected from ukba. Your monthly instalments option also ease my payment headache. I felt like I was in safe hands in all over application process. Wish you all the best. In start I was scared to go to solicitor as 80% solicitors r money makers only if anyone wants to get real advise and your work get it done successfully then don't go anywhere else. Only sunrise solicitor is the best for me and for you too and sunrise solicitor charging very reasonable fees with option of instalment. Thank you so much again guys.Moreexpand_more
I would like to give massive thanks to ARSHAD and my case worker Jamila. Arshad is a man of a very strong educational and a law experienced character. He know what he is doing and I believe he should take a pride in. Another hand Jamila the case worker I would say she is spotlessly experienced individual in administration, she know very well how to put things together and very well organised person, her English writing skills are beyond and above expectation. Thank you very much for your help and support in processing my wife visa. And thank you very much for being patience with me. I would recommend people to try them, they never disappointed me and my family before.
Thank you so much for your professional service. From the moment my wife and I entered the office we were treated with complete respect. Amir explained clearly how Sunrise could help our case for my wife’s Visa application and the process began promptly. The support, speed and work put in by Jamila to gain my wife’s spouse visa was outstanding. We were so lucky to have trusted a local firm with a personal touch. I am happy to add to their well earnt positive reviews. Without Sunrise Solicitors, my wife and I would not have managed to be together. Eternal thanks! Martin and Jean Kenny.
