About Me
Dear Reader,
Allow me to introduce myself briefly. My name is Saimir Kumrija. I am a qualified lawyer in Albania, and since July 2022, I have held Registered Foreign Lawyer (RFL) status in the United Kingdom.
I work within the Immigration Department at Bowden Jones Solicitors, where I support the structured preparation and coordinated progression of immigration matters as part of the firm’s internal case management framework.
My role involves working closely with the firm’s solicitors and regulated legal professionals in the preparation, organisation, and procedural coordination of immigration cases. I contribute to the management of departmental workflow, the structured preparation of documentation, and the internal coordination required to ensure that cases progress efficiently within the firm’s supervised and regulated environment.
I am involved in matters across a broad range of immigration areas, including business immigration, family and private life applications, British nationality, protection claims, detention, bail matters, and appeals.
Being fluent in Albanian, English, and Italian enables me to assist clients with cross-border connections between the United Kingdom, Albania, and Italy, particularly where cases involve international personal or business interests.
I hold a Master’s degree in Legal Sciences from the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” (2015).
