GBS UK Immigration turned my visa nightmare into a success!

After six stressful months with another “immigration lawyer” who filed the wrong application and let my EU-family-member visa get rejected, I honestly thought I was out of options. A friend recommended GBS UK Immigration and they proved to be life-savers.

From the first call they were straight-forward about what went wrong, mapped out the right route (EU Settlement Scheme skipping pre-settlement) and set clear timelines. Every email was answered the same day, every document was double-checked, and they kept me updated at every stage.

The result? In just two months my new application was approved. Victoria you are the best! Thanks

Money well spent to reach required outcome

I booked an initial one-hour consultation with Victoria, which was very beneficial during the decision process. She was helpful in navigating through the process. Just received a positive outcome - I am very happy, and of course, I would not want to have made a mistake to lose so much time and money

Professional Immigration Services

I’ve been working with Victoria on my wife’s immigration file since 2019, and we’ve just reached the conclusion this year. Throughout the entire process, she has been incredibly professional and supportive, ensuring all details were accurate and addressing numerous questions along the way. On several occasions, she even went above and beyond with her support. I highly recommend this company, and especially Victoria, to handle your immigration case.

I am beyond grateful to GBS UK Immigration for their exceptional service and support in helping me with my emigration status.

GBS gave superior service from start to finish. I applied for right to remain having immigrated to the UK with my partner from the US, 5 years ago. It has just been finalised as Settled - on time and with no problems, thanks to GBS.
Our agent there was Victoria Girsa, an immigration attorney and a veteran of the process herself. She is not just exceptionally competent and experienced, but is a lovely person to deal with, whom we now consider a friend.
By the way, it is not a simple process, nor quick. I strongly recommend the assistance of Victoria.

Immigration success from USA to U.K.

Victoria and the GBS team have been amazing people to work with since I arrived in England in 2016 from Seattle, Washington in the USA. They are extremely knowledgeable about all the processes and greatly put us at ease by doing all the right things right. Today in July 2024 Victoria and the GBS team finalised everything by helping me complete my E Visa account linking it to my BRP (Biometric Residence Permit) card so I can come in and out of the country (UK) without having to prove or show documents because UK immigration will see all my data on file online. On top of the amazing GBS Immigration team Victoria is just a person who cares and has the right attitude and makes you know all is taken care of. I recommend 100%.

Outstanding immigration lawyer

I cannot recommend Victoria highly enough! She assisted me with my visa and residency application not just once, but twice, and each experience was exceptional. Victoria's expertise and dedication truly set her apart.

From the very beginning, Victoria demonstrated a profound understanding of immigration law and a genuine passion for helping her clients. She meticulously guided me through every step of the process, ensuring that all documentation was perfectly in order and that I fully understood each requirement. Her attention to detail and thoroughness were evident in the smooth progression of my applications.

What truly stands out about Victoria is her unwavering support and kindness. Navigating the complexities of visa and residency applications can be incredibly stressful, but Victoria's calm and reassuring demeanor made all the difference. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and provided timely updates that kept me informed throughout the process.

Victoria's professionalism is matched only by her compassion. She took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored her advice to my specific situation. It was clear that she genuinely cared about the outcome of my applications and went above and beyond to ensure a successful result.

Thanks to Victoria's expertise and dedication, both of my applications were approved without any issues. Her hard work and commitment have had a profound impact on my life, and I am incredibly grateful for her assistance. If you are in need of an immigration lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and exceptionally skilled, Victoria is the one to trust.

Thank you, Victoria, for your outstanding service and for making a potentially daunting process so much easier!

Best immigration advisor

I used GBS UK immigration for my visa application and I’m so glad Victoria was able to assist me on my case. She was a light on my life when I was desperate. I contacted other immigration advisers and they all told me my case was out of the rules and my visa would not likely be approved. But thanks to Victoria and GBS UK immigration I have been granted permission to stay. I can’t thank this company and Victoria enough! Thank you so much.

Exceptional Guidance from Entry Clearance to Citizenship - Consistently Outstanding

My wife and I have had the privilege of working with Ms. Ashley Bayles for close to six years, spanning from entry clearance to securing citizenship. Remarkably, the quality of her service has remained consistently outstanding from day one.

From the very beginning, Ashley impressed us with her meticulous documentation skills. She had a remarkable ability to compile and present our case with precision and clarity. Her attention to detail was evident at every stage.

One of the standout moments in our journey was during the Permanent Residency (ILR) application when both my wife and I were in a unique employment situation. Ashley's decision-making skills and deep knowledge of immigration laws were instrumental in overcoming this hurdle. Her confidence in navigating complex scenarios gave us the peace of mind we needed.

Throughout our journey, Ashley's follow-up skills were impeccable. We were consistently well-informed, which alleviated any anxiety we might have had.

Ashley's honesty is a rare and invaluable trait. She set realistic expectations and was fair in all our interactions. This, coupled with her unwavering professionalism, fostered a high level of trust.

We recently received the wonderful news of our successful citizenship application, which Ashley diligently assisted us with. She didn't just handle cases; she facilitated life-changing opportunities.

Ashley's services are not just about immigration; they are about transforming lives. We couldn't be happier with the results and are forever grateful for her exceptional support.

If you're seeking an immigration lawyer who combines expertise, honesty, and an unwavering commitment to your success, Ashley is the one to turn to. Our heartfelt thanks go out to her for guiding us through this remarkable journey.

Highly professional, superb

Highly professional, transparent and thoroughly excellent in every single way. This was our second time working with the super team at GBS for a family (visa) route renewal. We can’t recommend Ashley any higher, simply superb, backed up by Katie and the other members of GBS. UKV&I make the visa application process challenging enough so to have Ashley/GBS at your side as you go through the process, you’ll be supported no-end. We achieved our approval shortly after submission and no doubt this is all thanks to Ashley. We are very happy, thank you very much….we’ll definitely be back for the final stage, settlement. If you’re in any doubt in any part of the visa process, don’t be - contact GBS right away.

Outstanding

I used GBS Immigration UK services to assist in applying for ILR (which was successful). As a lawyer I can say that the service I received was prompt, very professional and very efficient. All the instructions and clarifications I received were detailed, clear and even preemptive of any questions that I might have had. There were no hidden fees and all potential additional expenses were discussed upfront and in detail. On a personal level - and as a neurodivergent person - I can attest that all GBS Immigration specialists I have been in contact with were very polite, attentive and very accommodating and understanding of my specific needs and concerns. Throughout the entire process I felt valued and respected as a client. I highly recommend GBS Immigration’s services. And I will certainly be using them further along my immigration journey.

Lifesaving service! Completely recommended!

GBS UK Immigration is the best service you will ever find in the UK. I had several issues and uncertainties regarding a graduate visa application as my case was very specific and the University I studied at was not willing to collaborate at all. Ashley Bayles was my advisor during the process and I could not be happier with the excellent professional service she provided me. She was kind, thoughtful, very dedicated ( I mean, VERY!) and capable. Every penny that I spent with her service was worth it, and it was great to have the support of someone who actually cared about my situation and did everything in her power to help me secure my immigration status in the country.

Without Ashley's support I would definitely not have had the positive outcome I finally had. My application was granted a month after the submission date, and I am sure that her expertise made the difference. If you need any assistance with your immigration status/visa application, go for GBS for sure! No matter the outcome, you will not regret to have their support. GBS is your best chance to solve any immigration issue you might have, and having their support will bring you an enormous peace of mind.

GBS Immigration, professionalism at its best.

GBS are without doubt one of the most professional companies i have dealt with. Joanne Sullivan approaches her work meticulously and there is never a stone unturned. Joanne has dealt with many immigration matters for myself and my wife all with positive results. Joanne and Ashley recently dealt with a very complicated but successful appeal for my wife's daughter to gain entry to the UK and i do not believe this would have happened without the professionalism of GBS Immigration.
