  • If I could give Chris more than 5 stars I would. My complex immigration issue has been compounded by terrible legal advice, but he went above and beyond to help me find a way forward and I’m truly grateful! I can honestly say that Seraphus is a genuine, and competent firm who will stand with you on your immigration issue- I strongly recommend them!

  • We did an online 30 minute consultation with a Seraphus lawyer, the process was very easy to set up and the video call worked very well. We were able to ask all our questions and get insights into the visa process. It really helped us in making our application.

  • We highly recommend Seraphus. We worked together with Filip Angelov. He was very experienced and worked hard to help us. My wife now has pre-settled status through the Surinder Singh route. We couldn’t have got this without Filip.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Seraphus for my application for indefinite leave to remain. It was an incredibly smooth experience and I was able to submit my application worry free. Anna answered my endless questions and provided clear and detailed guidance and direction at all times. Thank you Seraphus team!
