Q: I have recently visited a community website and there
are a number of classified advertisements with people advertising their
immigration advice services. Is there a body regulating immigration
advisors in order to protect clients?
A: Yes, in order to render immigration
advice in the UK you have to be regulated by the Office of the
Immigration Services Commissioner or OISC. They also have different
levels of advisors, so depending on the complexity of a problem an
advisor may assist you or not. All OISC advisers are required to display
their certificates of registration or exemption.
The only exception to this rule is persons regulated by the Law Societies of England and Wales, and Scotland.
So unless someone is regulated as set out above, they are prohibited
from rendering UK immigration advice, and are committing an offence if
they do so.
You will also be pleased to hear that Breytenbachs Immigration
Consultants are registered with the OISC to Level 3, which is the top
level and therefore we can provide you with immigration advice on all UK
immigration matters.
