A skilled worker who came to the UK on a Carer Visa experienced serious problems on arrival in the UK. She approached Tulia after she had been made homeless when her employer fired her unlawfully. We were able to find accommodation, challenge the decision and then find her another job.
“I was homeless and without any status no recourse to public funds when I approached MFS for help. My ex was threatening to take my daughter from me in the family courts. They helped me in the family court, supported and advised me to get my immigration status and housing. They also gave me prayer support and help from a counsellor. I cannot believe that I am where I am now. From hopelessness and despair to hope confidence and security. Thank you everyone.”
TM made an inquiry for a visitor’s visa after his brother unfortunately died. He had originally been refused a visitors visa to come to England. Tulia utilised their abundance of skills and carefully devised reasoning in order to challenge the ECO. Tulia Caseworkers issued a Pre Action Protocol to the Home Office. This challenge was successful and subsequently, he was able to come to England and resolve the problems surrounding the property of his deceased brother. TM has now received closure after the tumultuous and stressful time in his life.

Revocation of a deportation order
EM applicant applied for a fee waiver as they could not afford to pay the legal fees, which was successful. In addition to that, EM had previously committed a crime and thus was threatened to be separated from her children. However, Tulia pleaded her case and showed how she was full of penitence and remorse for her actions; she was young, naïve and vulnerable. Furthermore, they proved that she was not a persistent offender but it was just a one-time mistake. She has two kids, one of which is autistic and also a British citizen. Due to the hard work of the team at Tulia, a revocation of deportation order. which is notoriously difficult, was successful. This family is now united and harmonious despite threats of deportation.
