Claire assisted me with my Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa application. Claire prepared and submitted my application and supported me through the process in a very timely manner, alleviating my concerns, no matter how big, small or repetitious. Above all, Claire really understood the importance to me and my family of a satisfactory outcome, reassuring me at times when I found the process difficult and stressful. I would recommend Claire to others who are in need of such guidance and support.
