I am writing my review about one specific solicitor - Nick Hobson. He helped me get my Tier 1 self-employment Visa for the UK.
I had come to Nick on the recommendation of a friend. I had spent four months beating my head against the fraud that is the Global Visas company. I was completely discouraged and ready to give up on trying to get my Visa. Then I talked to Nick. He was super helpful, and basically the ONLY reason I got my Visa. Everything I was confused about he explained to me, and everything I needed help on, he helped me with. I needed an accountant (one of the most difficult parts of my application, as I had never worked with an actual CPA before, and it happened to be tax season.) He found me one through people he knew, which was the hugest help of all. He worked in a timely fashion and sent me everything in a binder (my only, very minor gripe is that the binder was A4 size, so when he put copies of stuff in that I needed to replace with actual documents, my US letter size stuff didn't fit and I had to go out and buy US plastic cover sheets. But this is more a UK/US thing, so maybe have those on hand already). Anything I had a question about he answered in a way I could actually understand. And, I got my Visa! He was, simply, wonderful. After the awful experience I had with Global Visas, I was ready to give up. Nick is the ONLY reason I got my Visa. The difference between him and my former consultant company was day and night. read more
