What is a Marriage of Convenience?

A marriage of convenience or a ‘sham marriage’ describes a marriage or civil partnership entered into for Immigration advantage by two people who are not a genuine couple. Non-EEA nationals sometimes enter into these arrangements in order to stay in the UK.

How we Helped

We investigated the matter through numerous enquiries and freedom of infomration disclosure by the Home Office. Following out legal representation at Appeal in the Immigration Tribunal Miss J was successfully allowed to remain in the UK and the decision to remove Miss J from the UK was quashed.

This work was carried out by Principal Solicitor Teni Shahiean and Senior Caseworker Nataliya Bondarets.

Hans is incredible - look nowhere else !! My parents experience has been sensational . They have asked me to leave this review on their behalf . They had a very difficult case and were concerned about their future and Hans assisted them with a positive outcome which we thought could take years to resolve . From start to finish he and his colleagues had a one to one zoom call with us and then provided their advice and next steps . The best thing about Hans is he is always in contact , even in the evenings but this isn’t the only reason why he’s amazing , it is how articulate and how much care and thought they have put into the case that they managed to secure success . Hans you’re an asset to the firm and keep going and changing peoples’ lives . We couldn’t have done it without you . Anyone seeking advice and comfort , this firm , especially Hans has such an incredible reputation and will not let you down . Thank you Case Workers: Hans Sok Appadu
