We are the North East leading firm that specialises
in providing Immigration Law advice.
The firm was set up in 2002 by Liaquat Latif who has been very successful over the years in a large number of Immigration applications, including In-Country, Entry Clearance, Points based applications as well as appeals before Immigration Judges at the North Shields First Tier Tribunal (IAC) and also at other Hearing Centres and also before Senior Immigration Judges at the Upper Tribunal.
We provide a high level of advice in the most cost effective manner. A high percentage of our clients are referred by existing and former clients.
The firm’s reputation was highlighted when we won two awards at the Equality North East Awards ceremony.
