Advice Services - Asylum and Immigration

Our asylum and immigration advice service is regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC). Advice services for immigration are defined at three different levels:

  • Level 1 – Initial advice- basic immigration advice within the immigration rules
  • Level 2 - Casework - more complex casework, including advice outside the immigration rules
  • Level 3 - Advocacy and representation - appeals

Always check that your advisor and the agency is registered with an appropriate body (OISC or Law Society) to provide advice. It is a criminal offence for people who are not registered to provide advice.
