Dear Team,
I would like to express my most sincere gratitude and complete satisfaction with the support and services provided by Immigration Advice Service Ltd.
I am truly thankful for the professional, dedicated, and supportive approach you have all shown in helping resolve the issue I was facing. Your guidance made a difficult situation much more manageable for me.
My special thanks go to Sarah Dodd (Enquiries Team), Elena Ampova (Immigration Caseworker), and Eyram Osei-Agyemang (Immigration Casework Supervisor) for your kind cooperation, responsiveness, and genuine care throughout the process. Working with all three of you has been a very positive experience.
I deeply appreciate your efforts and support.
Kind regards,Hujjat

I have no idea why this has 5 star!
When I called them I discussed my case exactly and they assured me that they can help me! They took £150 and I was booked for a consultation!
When consultation starts, they said they can’t help me with my issue! They could just advise on my visa situation going forward! It felt that I was fooled.

IAS supported my wife and I through the full spouse visa process. They were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly throughout, which made the application much less stressful.

I've worked with IAS many times over the years for advice and immigration education. Then, working with Jonathan Brown to obtain my actual visa was a godsend. He's incredibly well-informed, with the proper support from the team he works with at IAS. Jonathan thoroughly ensured things were done properly the whole way through. And it paid off! Thank you!

I have used IAS twice now, for my initial visa and my renewal and they have honestly been so amazing to work with. The process for applying for visas is so confusing, but working with IAS made everything so much easier. For both instances, they have always been prompt and answered every question that I had. They were also very transparent in every step, providing drafts of applications or fee changes that come up.
The staff and attorneys are extremely helpful and I always feel confident that the work they done is thorough and correct.
I also appreciate how up to date IAS are when it has come to changes in the immigration rules. They have offered seminars and helpful information as soon as the rules are updated or changed.
I will definitely be using IAS again for my future renewals and I always mention the brilliant work of the company and the staff when I share my experiences with people.
I would also highly recommend IAS for those who are about to start their visa journey. It is an incredibly stressful process but knowing that there are people in this company that want to help you, makes it so much easier.

I cannot recommend Mrs Alev highly enough. She handled all of my wife’s visa applications from start to finish with outstanding professionalism, care, and dedication. Throughout the whole process, she was always supportive, clear, and incredibly knowledgeable, which made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much easier.
She was always available to answer our questions, kept us updated at every stage, and made sure every detail was handled properly. Her hard work, honesty, and commitment gave us great confidence and peace of mind.
Thanks to her expertise and guidance, everything went smoothly, and we are truly grateful for all her help. Mrs Alev is not only an excellent lawyer but also a genuinely kind and trustworthy person. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing immigration or visa support.

IAS assisted us with a spousal visa renewal as well as my ILR application - in this case we dealt with Harindar and she was invaluable in helping us through the process and keeping us updated. IAS made the whole experience seamless and they were a great help in what is a very stressful process to go through. We will be forever grateful to them and would always HIGHLY recommend their services.

I highly recommend IAS. Both of our applications were successfully approved thanks to Reina Pathan’s knowledge and support. The process is clear and easy to follow.
While phone contact isn’t always immediate due to high demand, and you’ve got to understand they do deal with an high volume of applications. Email responses have been prompt and reliable. Reina has always replied the same day. So please don’t let this put you off!
A great overall experience—I will definitely continue to use IAS. Mollie Wilson has also been very supportive, checking in and assisting with any queries. Thanks guys!

All these 5 star reviews have to be fake! My experience with this company was absolutely shocking! Passed from pillar to post. Can absolutely never get to speak to your supposed "case worker" I can't urge you enough to go to different company.

I had a very positive experience with Immigration Advice Service. I would especially like to thank Mr. Ahmed Ceesayfor his outstanding support throughout my case.
He was always professional, patient, and very helpful. He explained everything clearly and guided me step by step, which made the whole process much less stressful.
Thanks to his knowledge and dedication, I successfully received my residency. I truly appreciate his hard work and support.
I highly recommend Immigration Advice Service and Mr. Ahmed Ceesay to anyone who needs reliable and professional immigration help.

Before I was recommended to IAS, I had a lot of problems with immigration lawyers. Some of the problems were (i) lawyers receiving communication from the Home Office and failing to contact me, (ii) once you have assigned them to do the work, they will keep on charging until you end up paying thousands of pounds without receiving proper service. On three occasions, I have used IAS, and I have found them to be very professional and reliable. Once you assign them a matter, you can rest assured that they will work on it. Once they tell you a fee for an assigned matter, that is the fee you pay. They do not try to take advantage of their clients. The only thing that needs improvement, according to me, is communication. You can pursue a caseworker and fail to get back timely feedback. This can sometimes cause anxiety among clients. Apart from the small negative bits, IAS will do the work wholeheartedly.

I’m very happy with the service provided by IAS. I’ve been a client from the beginning—starting with my Spouse Visa and continuing all the way through to ILR. Throughout the process, Saimah Razzaq and Naz Jiva were incredibly helpful and efficient in coordinating all the requirements. They followed my requested timeline, gave clear instructions, and maintained excellent communication. I truly appreciate all the support I’ve received and will continue using their services through to my citizenship.

I would have no hesitation in recommending ias, especially Tomas Perez who has been incredibly helpful throughout the whole process and is always one step ahead! ias were recommended to me by a friend and I in turn am already recommending them to a friend. Tomas has been fantastic and I am deeply grateful to him for all his hard work and support throughout this (sometimes tricky) journey. Muchísimas gracias

Jonathan was very helpful. Staff were happy with the support and outcome of their visa application.

I work in another firm and work with IAS time to time and I work closely with Gabriela who is a part of the IAS team, and I can confirm that she is a delight to work with! She is very friendly and professional and keeps her clients very happy!
