Who can provide immigration advice in the UK?
In the UK, it is unlawful to provide immigration advice and services unless the individual or organisation is regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) or is otherwise covered by the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
Understanding the Role of an Immigration Lawyer
Immigration lawyers have a distinctive role compared to other legal fields. They operate in both proactive and reactive capacities, assisting you with preparing and managing applications for entering and staying in the UK. In essence, immigration lawyers are professionals who provide regulated legal advice and support to ensure that your immigration process is smooth and compliant with current regulations.

The OISC, or the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner, is a government body that ensures that immigration advice is only provided by suitably qualified organisations and individuals.
