Immigration Advisory Service goes into administration

We learned yesterday that the Immigration Advisory Service (IAS), one of the leading charities for immigrants in the UK, had gone into administration.

The IAS employed around 300 staff in offices around the UK and had for many years assisted immigrants with their UK visa applications. Their financial difficulties arose largely from cutbacks in government funding.

A detailed statement on the IAS website explains the procedures in place for applications that have already been submitted. However, no future assistance can be provided and it is felt that this could leave a large void in UK immigration advice in the future.

For applicants who need assistance with UK immigration applications, please contact us through our website;
