Brilliant. 100% trustworthy and brilliantly knowledgeable. Dealt with my husband's spouse visa from initial entry to Indefinite Leave to Remain. Can't recommend highly enough. Very fair and reasonable cost too. Worth every single penny for the peace of mind using them brings you. Made the whole process so much less stressful. Thank you so much.

I have processed my visa with Tim and he has got a lot of experiences and knows exactly what we need and what we should do. I could get my Visa without failing and in a quite short time. I was really happy and appreciated to his careful and a good service.

Report
Tim McMahon of Commonwealth Immigration is by far the best consultant I have ever used since moving to the UK. In a country with overly complicated red tape and paperwork, Tim made the process straight forward and was always on hand to answer questions. I strongly recommend him for anybody looking to take the stress out of immigration applications.

Tim was a very helpful and diligent source of legal support in my Citizenship application. He was always quick to respond to my questions over email, and also to schedule phone calls when needed. Having used 'high street' lawyers in the past, I can say confidently that Tim didn't nickel and dime me for every minute of time spent. He has an upfront 'no result, no fee' structure with no hidden costs that you're billed at the end. Overall, a worthwhile experience that I would recommend highly to others.

I have been a client of CIC for over 3 years and Tim Mcmahon did represent me successfully on several UK residence cases. Him and his team were very punctuate and understanding of my situation from day one. He initially gave me a free advice and consultation so I can know my bearings, then he guided me through the steps in a very professionally manner. As a Canadian applicant, I do highly recommend him.

I would give 6 stars if I could. We have used Tim McMahon's experience multiple times during these 6 years for advice to apply for different, and rather difficult, documents. We are now settled and with no worries anymore thanks to him. He helped my husband come from India to the UK in the first place, then he secured his 5-year resident card and when that visa expired we both hired him to get the UK Settled Status, an easy task for me being European, but not that easy for my husband being Indian! His service is probably the best money I have ever paid for a professional, not even that expensive
