“The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) is an independent UK public
body set up under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, and is led by Immigration Services
Commissioner Suzanne McCarthy.
The OISC is responsible for ensuring that all UK immigration consultants and advisers fulfill the requirements of good practice. We are committed to the elimination of unscrupulous advisers and the fair and thorough investigation of complaints.
The OISC is also responsible for:
- regulating UK immigration advisers in accordance with the Commissioner's Code of Standards and Rules;
- processing applications for registration or exemption from UK immigration advisers;
- maintaining and publishing the register of advisers;
- promoting good practice by immigration UK advisers and consultants;
- receiving and handling complaints about immigration advisers;
- taking criminal proceedings against advisers who are acting illegally.
The OISC website can be accessed immediately and is intended for UK immigration advisers and their clients and for anyone wanting to know more about the OISC and what we do. However, please note that we are unable to give advice ourselves on immigration or asylum issues.”
Our consultants are trained to provide UK immigration advice under the authority of the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC). Lawyers and Solicitors are regulated by The Law Society.
