How Can We Help? | Kangs Immigration Solicitors
Kangs Solicitors has an established, specialised Immigration Department, able to assist in applications for visas of all types.
The need for meticulous attention to detail in the preparation of applications is highlighted in the recent case of R (Imran Idris) v SSHD IJR [2015] UKUT 95 (IAC) when the application was refused as the result of a landline telephone number and an email address being omitted.
This was later approved in the Court of Appeal in the case of Iqbal & Tank v SSHD [2015] EWCA Civ 169.
