Shazia is the information above wrong? No - so please stop covering it up.

Need documents back ASAP…

Shazia made an application to the Home Office on our behalf in December 2020. It has been well over a year and we have yet to receive our documents back.

Last time we spoke to her she said she's made an appeal which clearly wasn't true because we rang the First-tier Tribunal and they confirmed they have no appeal in my name/representative's name.

All attempts to contact her to send our original documents back after that have been futile hence, if anyone at the company can see this we ask that you return all our documents as soon possible to the address you have on record for us.

We may have to result to legal actions to retrieve our documents if we do not get our documents back or do not hear from you promptly.

Shazia Riaz and her company Manchester Legal Services have been prohibited from giving any immigration advice or services indefinitely by OISC, her regulator. She didn't return my degree certificate plus some very important documents.

Spousal Application

I used Shazia Riaz and Farhan service for husband's spousal application from Pakistan.

I was very content and satisfied with the service. They were very helpful, cooperative, honest, transparent with everything they were doing when dealing with the application.

They were always available as and when needed. I am happy to use their services in the future and would recommend them to anyone else wanting to excellent, fast and clear immigration services.

Shazia was very clear with identifying the strength and weaknesses of the case. She did not hide anything. She told me what was required and ensured the application was up to scratch before being submitted.

No waste of time, or misleading information. Clear, precise and very straightforward way of doing the work. Brilliant service and very satisfied with all the work. Keep it up.

I have known the best and worst of Manchester Legal Services. Shazia Riaz knows her business but you have to pay upfront. She gave me great advice and service in the past but has currently taken more than eighteen months over my work which is even now not completed. While I understand that the COVID 19 pandemic has arguably disproportionately impacted Manchester Legal Services, I found the lack of communication particularly stressful.

Shazia from Manchester Legal Services…

Shazia from Manchester Legal Services was absolutely amazing. I was very stressed out about my visa application and she went out of her way to help me with the application. Shazia helped to perfect the form and corrected many areas that were not answered accurately. You can definitely tell that she is very knowledgeable on immigration law and I'm very thankful for her service.

Decent and reliable solicitor

I am so happy I consulted Shazia Riaz for my visa application. She went above and beyond to support me throughout the process, provided me guidance throughout the visa process and provided evidence from the home office website to help me write my application. She is reliable, supportive and replied promptly to my queries. I wish her best of luck in her career.

Excellent service

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars,Solicitor is very kind and professional, she showed interest in our case to be successful, she really helped us, she answered all our doubts, I'll definitely recommend their services, we had another solicitor at first that didn't do anything to help us, so I'm very glad that we found Manchester Legal Services because they are really good at their job. Simply the best ones.
