MBS Solicitors Testimonials

I contacted Bilaal Shabbir after a recommendation. Very happy I did as I had exhausted visa possibilities for my wife to stay with me in the UK while working due to me being self employed and not meeting the financial requirements. Bilaal recommended the Surinder Singh visa route as we had moved to the UK from the Netherlands and he walked us seamlessly through the process. Both myself and my wife were delighted to receive her 5 year pre-settlement visa recently which also saved us money on other types of visa. I cannot recommend Bilaal highly enough as everything happened exactly as he stated, even receiving the visa in early January!

Dear Ali, I know that we don’t yet know the decision from the Tribunal but we think that we should let you know that we are very grateful for your hard work, involvement and huge support. We are happy that we met you. You are not only the best lawyer in the world but primarily a good man. There are no words to describe what we feel. Thank you. Artur and Agnieszka

I was recommended to MBS by a family friend. Ali took on my case and I was informed every step of the way. Ali has been amazing. I have never met a solicitor who cares so much about his clients. He has guided us above and beyond our expectations. I recommend MBS 100% to anyone looking to get the best result. Thank you to everyone at MBS Solicitors and I look forward to using your services in the future.

The best Solicitor in the UK. Cannot recommend this firm enough. Especially Mr Ali who is my top Solicitor. He is the best. He knows what he is talking about. I can guarantee that you will never meet anyone like Mr Ali who cares so much about his work. He took all my stress off my shoulders. Thank you Ali for everything you have done to keep my family together in the UK.

In 2017 I submit my File in Home Office for the Immigration Visas for my Family but after two weeks my case file was refused which was done through (Five Star International) and Again after two weeks we submit a new file with some upgrades to Home Office then again it was refused. After a year, I met Mohammad Sabir then i asked Five Star International to hand over my File to Mr Sabir which was incomplete by them. Firstly Mr sabir make a whole new file and then assured me that we will be able to win this case then he submit my file and we both went for the hearing in the court to convince the court that we are able to provide the evidence which court needs but the court refused it due to the allegation put by the prosecutor but Mr sabir never lose the hope and told me that these allegation can be removed and we will re-appeal in the court and we will be successful in our mission and Finally in October we were successful as we were able to remove the allegation which were put against by the court. I am very grateful to Mr Sabir for all his help and assistance and he is very professional in his work without a doubt. He and his team is the best team in the Edinburgh and once again i am very thankful to the MBS Solicitors. He is NO.1 Rizwan Rothar

Dear Ali, I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to you for my visa issues. Since we met, we felt like you were the right man we had been looking for for a long time. You took over our case at its most difficult stage. You helped us selflessly. You are the most kindest and hard work solicitor we have ever met. You worked so hard and tirelessly into the small hours of the night on our case. You never once complained. You brought many new solutions to our case to legalise our stay in the UK Most, if not all, of the Solicitors would have long given up on our case. However, you continued to fight for us until the very last minute. We are very thankful to you for all your hard work. Without your hard work it would not have been possible for us to be successful in our case. There are no words that can adequately express our gratitude. You are the person who made this a success for us. You are the best solicitor we have ever met. Our true gratitude is beyond any words and description. We thank you again for all the hard work you have done for us. Sincerely yours Chen & Family

I want to express my gratitude to you, Ali for your efforts and dedication to my case. It was quite an upsetting process and I could never thought anyone would stay by my side. You were very generous regarding it. I am grateful to you that you took all stress and resolved everything out for me. Your faith, knowledge and determination were something that solved my worries. Thank you sincerely, A&S

“MBS SOLICITORS - making the impossible into possible” Awesome, kind and helpful staff, your guidance and support from the beginning till the end is highly appreciated!. Mr. Ali, you are a Solicitor of inspiration, and I admire your level of confidence to my critical and complicated immigration matter. My immigration case being ruined by two previous legal firms, I had lost hopes completely for getting leave to remain in the UK. Your prompt, professional, and client centered approach was the key to success. You are a God sent blessing, may God bless you in abundance. Thank-you! I was blessed with MBS Solicitors recommended to me by my friends. I highly recommend them as one of the best legal firms in Scotland, because they go an extra mile. Mrs D’sa & fly

I met Bilaal Shabbir twice about my ongoing Court of Session case and he was wonderful in manner, helpful and a good listener too. Bilaal made me feel assured and gave me huge confidence in fighting on my case as litigant in-person due to unemployment. I honestly would not known what to do if wasn't for Bilaal's incredible sense of duty and confidence. Thank you Bilaal and it was a pleasure meeting you too. Mr O, Edinburgh

I contacted Bilaal Shabbir about a complex visa case. I had contacted another firm who were pessimistic about the whole thing but Bilaal had a more positive outlook, which gave us hope. He was professional and truthful about each aspect of our file. The amount of sleep he must of loss due to his passion to win our case, is beyond exceptional. I would recommend him for any Visa enquiries, he knows exactly how the law works and will represent your case fairly. Now we can continue with our lives after years of waiting. Thank you Bilaal and Mr Shabbir.

I was in a bit of situation in terms of applying Entry Clearance spouse Visa application for my Wife and infant. I was looking for competent qualified immigration legal representative to deal with our case. Having spoken to few firms about this in London, I decided to instruct Mr. Bilaal Shabbir of MBS Solicitors in Edinburgh. This was because when I spoke to him, it was evident he had experience and correct knowledge dealing with complex applications . Mr. Bilaal Shabbir handled our applications with great care and professionalism. He dedicated a huge amount of time and effort to our applications to ensure that we had the highest chance of success. Our applications were a success and my family is united. I would like to thank Mr. Bilaal Shabbir for his pure dedication and support through what was a very anxious time for me and my family. May be its sound Crazy but i traveled from London to Edinburgh to get his services because i have trust on his capabilities and definitely shall prefer his services again in future for extension, Naturalization etc. I would, without any hesitation whatsoever, recommend Mr. Bilaal Shabbir of MBS Solicitors to anyone with immigration problems. He is passionate about his work and care about his clients.I highly recommend MBS Solicitors for their outstanding service and commitment.

Ali, thank you for going the extra mile for my wife. I do believe in Roosevelt’s quote: “Speak softly and carry a big stick”. You, my friend, are an exceptional Solicitor and I admire you greatly. You inspire confidence. Thank you & May God bless you. Tom

We applied for a fiancé visa for my Australian partner. A credit to Ali, who dealt with our case. His knowledge and experience put our minds at rest. Together we managed to put the application together very quickly, with Ali working until very late on many evenings. If I ever had any questions, a response would be back in appropriate time. If you are seeking professional advice or support with putting a visa application together, I would certainly recommend the services of MBS. The outcome of our visa, approved! Thanks, Chris.

Ali was our Solicitor and I found him and his office staff to be very helpful. They helped my wife and I with immigration to stay here in the U.K. I appreciate very much all his office has done for me and very happy with the price of the service. Highly recommended! Matthew

Highly recommend MBS solicitors to everyone who need help. Barbara

It was a fortunate day for us in January when we walked through the door at 150-152 Gorgie Road. Not only did we find an outstanding legal team but some wonderful people. Thank you, particularly Ali and Joanna, for your patience, support and dedication.

Dear Bilaal Thanks very much for the professional and efficient service in organising the spouse visa. From the very beginning in fully explaining the process to organising all the paperwork and logistics it has been a five star service. I would happily recommend you in future. Thanks again for all your assistance. Gary

As any one applying with for a visa knows, it's a stressful and strict process. MBS whom we found online was supportive from day one, as they clearly, to due process informed us on our case and advised us professionally and adequately. The decision was ours to make. But the clarity facilitated a positive outcome. To this end am glad to MBS for there support, attention to detail, and advice. They acted professionally and are open to people on case by case basis. Thank you MBS Solicitors and remain blessed.

Nadia Ali at MBS Solicitors was incredibly professional and showed a great amount of empathy and sensitivity to my particular situation. Nadia resolved my legal problem (a very difficult, stressful and drawn out divorce prior to seeking legal help) at least six months earlier than I'd even expected due to her vast and diverse knowledge. Continuous correspondence throughout was recieved in a timely manner. I am so happy and would highly recommend Nadia and MBS Solicitors.

The service we got from MBS Solicitors was excellent from day one. My husband's spouse visa was granted. I will definitely use them again in the future.

From my very first dealings with MBS Solicitors, it was clear that my case would be handled with the necessary diligence and expertise. My application for a Document Certifying Permanent Residence was handled by Bilaal. My case was handled promptly and professionally, with a positive outcome achieved earlier than anticipated. I then utilised their services for preparing my application for British nationality. I’m very glad that I got in touch with MBS Solicitors and I would be happy to recommend this firm to anyone looking for professional legal advice. I was impressed by the professionalism, integrity and acumen that the MBS legal team demonstrated.

I visited MBS Solicitors in 2015 when I required assistance with my spouse visa. Bilaal worked with me on my case and I found him very friendly and knowledgeable. Shortly after the application was submitted, some unforeseen complications arose which meant the application was refused. Bilaal reassured me the Home Office’s decision was incorrect and we appealed the decision. Bilaal did all the necessary preparation in advance of the appeal and did not let me worry. I was given a clear indication of timescales and fees. Just before the appeal was due to be heard, the Home Office withdrew their refusal and granted me the visa. I was glad to have been in safe hands with MBS. I am very grateful to them for their excellent service and friendly staff.

We turned to MBS solicitors after a stressful and bad experience with another legal firm. My wife’s spouse visa extension application was put on hold as the application & file was so poorly prepared by the previous firm. MBS solicitors wrote a detailed letter of representations of how we met all the requirements to be granted a spouse visa extension. This was sent to the home office and the spouse visa extension was granted, I would recommend MBS solicitors to everyone as they are professional and knowledgeable on immigration law

I must say that MBS Solicitors is one of the best legal firms in Edinburgh. I stumbled over this firm when I was in desperate need of a lawyer who will help me with my immigration status and luckily Bilaal happened to take on my case and in the end I received my residence card. The staff at MBS Solicitors are so helpful and always carry out their work professionally, more so client satisfaction is at the forefront of their business. I totally recommend this firm because it's one of the best in Edinburgh.

I contacted MBS solicitors when my husband's Permanent Residence application was refused by the home office and was given 14 days to leave the UK. I spoke with Bilaal and explained the whole situation to him and he helped us put a new application through to the home office. Not only that he also wrote to my husband's college outlining why my husband was still eligible to study in the UK even though he was waiting to get response from the home office. He also advised me to apply for my Permanent Residence as I am European. As a result my husband and I have both gained our Permanent Residence and arranging a new passport for my new born baby was easy. Bilaal is very knowledgeable and very professional and always went the extra mile. I am pleased we contacted MBS solicitors in the time of need and I will definitely recommend them to anyone with issues with the home office. Thank you once again for all your help.

Excellent service from a very experienced team. Would highly recommend and very professional.
