I had immigration related queries on my skilled worker visa.
Traversed through immigration website and spoke to various immigration consultants, but could not get clear answers, many of them did not even respond.
However, Carter Thomas team (Jessica) was prompt to response and that too promptly. The response were simple and all my questions(which were many) were answered with patience and clarity.
5 star service - highly recommended.

I switched from Tier 4 to skilled worker visa and Nick Gore handled my case. I must say I have talked to at least 6 other solicitors and they were all seems to be trying to get as much money as possible for the whole process but from the very first interaction with Nick, I was aware of my situation and he made it crystal clear about all the possibilities and outcomes from the beginning instead of fake promises and trying to get as much money as possible. Ethically Professional, Great Communication and ABSOLUTE value for money. Heartfelt gratitude for all his consultation and guidance that I got
