For companies and media organisations, we offer a Visa Service with a difference, offering assistance for both UK and US Immigration, and assistance with making visa applications at Embassies in the UK to travel overseas.

We also provide the full gamut of advice.

Typical assistance for a corporate ranges to include:

1. Drawing up and performing Staff Immigration Audits to ensure corporate compliance and to avoid criminal and civil liability for employers.
   
   
2. Assisting with applications for Sponsor licences
   
   
3. Assisting with applications under Tier 1 and Tier 2, and the Work Permit regime.
   
   
4. Confirming the current state of the Immigration Law during the hiring process.
   
   
5. Preparing Visa applications for staff travelling abroad, with foreign embassies.

We provide independent advice

Many Immigration Advisors and Solicitors have registered with the UKBA Organisations Assessed as Advisers to Prospective Sponsors under the PBS Scheme, and proudly display this relationship with the UKBA on their websites. 

We have not.

We have taken the view that it is impossible to provide independent advice about sponsorship and be on a preferred adviser list at the same time, due to the inherent conflict of interest.

For us, phrases such as "reporting framework which provides us with evidence that all the required checks ... " and "agreed processes" sound very much like shadow accreditation, and although the UKBA says that it does not affect the client-advisor relationship, we are of the opinion that it would.

Whilst we make no comment about the firms who have chosen to be on the list, we believe that you would not seek an accountant who came recommended by the tax inspector if you had a tax problem, nor if you were arrested would you want a lawyer to represent you who were got their business from being on a special "preferred list" and could be removed by the police and prosecution if the "agreed processes" with them were not carried out.

We are regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC), which is funded through a grant in aid from the UKBA and on the basis of annual registration fees, and is thus independent. 

We are accredited at Level 3 for all areas of immigration law, other than asylum which we do not do; Regulated firms are audited for competence by the Independent OISC.
