Working with Harpreet Kaur from Immigration Advice Service on my Skilled Worker Visa application was an outstanding experience. She was supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient from start to finish. No matter how many questions I asked, she always took the time to explain everything clearly and guide me through each step, which made the whole process so much less stressful.

Thanks to her professionalism and attention to detail, my application was approved, and I’m truly grateful for all the hard work she put in. I would gladly recommend Harpreet to anyone needing immigration advice...she really knows her stuff and genuinely cares about her clients.

Thank you so much, Harpreet

Our caseworker, Naz, was very professional and helpful. She made it very clear what we needed to do when in order to submit our application, answered all our queries in a helpful and timely manner, and made it easy for us to submit a successful application.

Niv is so helpful and a brilliant caseworker, she had just taken over the case, we have been concerned as social workers that caseworkers keep changing and she reassured us and carried about work very efficiently. She kept us updated and final it has felt like we have progress. We had no previous caseworkers and it was a stress situation for us as social workers. She has put out mind at ease and she gets things done. Thank you Niv

We worked with Naz Jiva for spousal visa application. She was highly knowledgeable and responsive. After we submitted our visa application, we received a positive decision very quickly in 27 days after biometrics. Thanks also to IASUK for all of the help.

This is the second time I've used IAS and for this round, Saima was assigned to my case for ILR application and was nothing but professional, friendly, hopeful and helpful. We are really looking forward to working with her to complete this process.

Scammers. A woman called Sarah Dodd sends out bulk emails as follows:

“Good morning,
I hope that you are well.
I am reaching out to you as within the last 3 months, you have contacted IAS regarding an Immigration matter and as of yet you haven’t moved forward with any of our services.”

No, I have never contacted them! And I don’t need any help with immigration 😂

Harpreet Kaur was so helpful, he made my immigration status seamlessly easy and was helpful all the time,Great service and Excellent Customer service. Thank you for your wonderful work.

Before using Immigration Advice Service, be sure to ask about the costs. They charged us several thousand euros on every call, always assuring us that no further payments would be necessary. The service likely costs €15,000, and that's without any guarantee of success. Their business practices are unethical, and the people they speak to are deceptively trained.

Very prompt and responsive service. Was a pleasure working with Harpreet throughout.

The process was very smooth and precise throughout and Naz Jiva was very attentive to ensuring we had everything correct so that we did not have any hold ups. We did not have any issues that came up from the home office and I got my spousal visa and will be in the UK in a matter of weeks.
The only portion of the process that was at all stressful was the waiting period after the biometrics appointment! It took almost all of the 12 weeks to the day, but I believe it may have been that it was at the same time of the year when a lot of students were applying. IAS does not control that, but if I was going to do anything different, I would have gone for the priority service. Maybe I should have thought about the time of year it was being submitted?
Other than that I can't complain and can't thank IAS and Naz enough for all the help.

The kindest way I can describe them is pontless.
The immigration law adviser was negative from the start (not to mention that she was 10 minutes late).
She didin't have any solutions, just problems everywhere...

I got much more and better information after 10 min on google and on gov.uk!

Save yourself a few £ on pointless consultation.

The only thing they can give you is high blood pressure!

I am very grateful for Miriam Ballard. She is the best lawyer I have come across. She worked hard at my appeal and today I was successful. I would recommend her to everyone.
I am so happy for all her help. She tried very hard and the results were good.

Every time I needed assistance, I received exceptional help and support. My lawyer was truly amazing.

I had a paid Consultancy / Immigration Advice appointment with IAS on 19 September 2025 and more specifically with Tom Egan after an initial call with Lindsay Alexander. Prior to the appointment I furnished IAS with the substance of the appointment. I was promised a letter by Tom Egan during the appointment of a letter of our discussion. No letter was received despite of me having contacted IAS a week ago.

Naz Jiva provided exceptional support with the Document Checking Service, efficiently reviewing our documents in a short timeframe. This allowed us to proceed with our visa application well before the deadline.

Thank you Naz

IAS is reliable and trustworthy. Harpreet Kaur helped me move through the work visa process and was a reliable helper the entire time

Visa Success
The immigration process is quite robust and the first time we were not successful in our application. Harpreet Kaur was our immigration caseworker from IAS, and provided us with a thorough review of all documentation, to help ensure our second application was successful. She provided suggestions along the way to ensure the application was robust, and respectful when decisions were made that did not adhere to her recommendations. Responses to our queries generally quite quick and always within the timelines outlined in the contract. If you are undertaking a first visa application, we would highly recommend obtaining support. While it is not cheap, it is certainly much more cost effective than having to apply a second time!

Harpreet was incredibly helpful with my spouse visa application. She provided clear guidance, answered all my questions promptly, and made the whole process much less stressful. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout. I highly recommend her to anyone needing immigration advice.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service we have received from Jason Griffiths and Shin Lim at the Immigration Advice Service. As a company preparing for significant overseas hiring in 2026, we approached IAS with numerous questions about the UK Sponsor Licence application process, and their support has been nothing short of exemplary.

From our very first enquiry, Jason demonstrated remarkable professionalism, patience, and expertise. He provided comprehensive guidance on every aspect of the Sponsor Licence process, breaking down complex immigration requirements into clear, actionable steps. His detailed explanations covered everything from application procedures and documentation requirements to cost breakdowns and compliance obligations - all delivered with transparency and clarity that gave us complete confidence in planning our strategy.

When Jason was temporarily unavailable, Shin Lim stepped in seamlessly and continued to provide the same outstanding level of service. Shin responded to our detailed questions with precision and professionalism, providing exact costings, clarifying payment structures, and confirming critical details about upfront fees. The consistency and quality of service between team members speak volumes about IAS's commitment to client care.

What truly sets IAS apart is its genuine understanding of business needs. They recognise that immigration matters are not just legal requirements but critical business investments. Their thorough approach to explaining costs, timelines, and ongoing obligations has enabled us to present accurate figures with complete confidence. The fixed-fee structure with no hidden costs provided the financial certainty we required.

Key highlights of our experience:

- Exceptionally prompt responses to all enquiries
- Clear, jargon-free explanations of complex immigration processes
- Comprehensive cost breakdowns with full transparency
- Professional guidance tailored to our specific business needs
- Outstanding customer service from the entire team
- Fixed fees with no hidden charges

Both Jason and Shin have been invaluable partners in preparing our company for the next phase of growth. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine commitment to client success have exceeded our expectations at every turn. We look forward to working with IAS when we begin our Sponsor Licence application.

If you are considering sponsoring overseas workers, I cannot recommend IAS, Jason Griffiths, and Shin Lim highly enough. Their service is truly world-class.

She sent my evidence to court and then Home Office say yes after say no to my asylum after long time in June. I thank IAS and this lady lawyer. My life has been saved and changed.
