“We are interested Irish citizenship for my mother and after paying €250 for an initial consultation, we were told she was a good candidate to apply for citizenship through the Foreign Births Register. For a considerable fee, IAS said they could handle everything for us from getting documents to setting up the account. After wiring the money in April 2025, we were assigned an immigration lawyer and a “Client Relationship Officer” who were both very unresponsive. The lawyer was often “reviewing my case” and weeks would go by without any meaningful response to my inquiries. On two different occasions, they worked with us to set up our online account on the government website; however, both accounts expired because we did not have the proper forms ready for submission. We had paid for IAS to lead us through the process and do the work, but after 6 months with nothing to show for it, I took the time to carefully research what was required. I then realized that the lawyer was pursuing citizenship through Naturalization and not through the Foreign Birth Registry. (Which explains why they chose to ignore my direct questions and instead sent one sentence email responses with ever-changing advice). At this point, I asked for a partial refund, since the work they had done to this point went against their initial recommendation and we had nothing to show for it. No surprise here that they are unresponsive. At this point, unless I’m willing to spend a lot more of my time arguing with this incompetent group, I don’t hold out any hope of seeing a partial refund. I strongly advise against using this firm, especially since as other reviewers have said, they do not bring to the table anything that you can’t read for yourself on the government website.”

“Serious Concerns Regarding Legal Representation and Advice Provided I recently recommended your services to a friend who had been attempting, unsuccessfully, to obtain a dependant visa for his child. By the time he approached your organisation, his application had already been rejected multiple times. He fully explained the history of the case and provided all relevant information regarding the previous refusals. Despite this, instead of receiving robust legal representation and a carefully prepared fresh application with strengthened supporting evidence, your firm resubmitted largely the same information, supported by weak evidence that had already been rejected. Unsurprisingly, the application was refused again. What is particularly concerning is that, following this further refusal, the only solutions now being offered are entirely different visa routes, giving the clear impression that your organisation is attempting to sell an alternative service after the failure of the original application. This approach feels both inappropriate and potentially predatory. Given that all of the relevant information was available to you from the outset, I find it extremely troubling that these alternative routes were not presented at the start, particularly if the original route had little realistic prospect of success. There appears to have been a significant lack of diligence and professional effort in properly preparing and submitting a strong application on your part.”

“I would like to thank my IAS team and my lawyer Lauren Blommel for all the work done on my case! It was well-organised, attentive, accommodating and supportive process from the beginning to the end which gave me peace and confidence. Apart from doing excellent professional job, Lauren also showed a lot of support and empathy along the way which I really appreciate. Thank you so much!”

“The only thing that can give you comfort in the asylum application process is having a good lawyer who will not leave you alone in any case, even when your application is rejected. Safa Ali can be considered a diligent, persistent, smart and intelligent lawyer. Thank you for all the efforts you have made for us.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Life-Changing Experience with IAS — Thanks to Anita and Eyram From the very first moment I reached out to IAS Immigration and Asylum Service, I felt a genuine sense of care, professionalism, and expertise. Navigating immigration matters can be daunting, but IAS turned what felt like an uphill battle into a journey of hope and clarity. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to my case workers, Anita and Eyram — two extraordinary individuals whose dedication and compassion truly changed my life. Anita was a pillar of strength throughout the process, always calm, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her attention to detail and unwavering support gave me confidence at every stage. Eyram brought warmth and precision to every interaction. Her ability to simplify complex legal language and guide me through each requirement was nothing short of remarkable. Together, Anita and Eyram formed a dream team — responsive, empathetic, and relentlessly committed to securing the best possible outcome for me. Thanks to IAS and these two outstanding professionals, I now have peace of mind and a renewed sense of belonging. If you’re looking for an immigration service that treats you like a human being — not just a case number — IAS is the gold standard. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking expert guidance with heart.”

“I engaged Immigration Advice Service (IAS) to handle my visa renewal. The Home Office asked IAS more than once to provide specific evidence about my UK company’s activities. Instead of supplying this, IAS replied that the evidence was “not required.” Because of this refusal to provide what the Home Office explicitly requested, my application was refused. This has caused me serious financial and personal harm. I am now pursuing a formal complaint with the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA). I am sharing this so that others are aware of my experience when considering IAS for representation.”

“Extremely overpriced and disappointing. They fail to provide proper advice and are unresponsive. They didn’t show up for the scheduled appointment, yet lied about it and blamed the client instead. They deducted a large amount from the deposit claiming it was for 'services rendered', even though they provided almost nothing. The advice they gave was worse than what you’d get from ChatGPT — seriously poor quality. My sincere advice to anyone: do not use their services.”

“I requested a consultation about the founder/global talent visas. I got much better and more detailed advice from chat GPT. The advisor that I got was unable to clarify the details that I was interested in. It seemed like the advisor was just reading the visas specifications off the official government website. When I asked for clarifications of the detail I got nothing. Wasted 180 pounds. When I got a *free* consultation with a different legal firm (OTB), it was immediately obvious the advisor knew what he was talking about and he was able to answer my questions in depth.”

“I thank the whole team and the advisor on the call, Nicholas Lee. They answered all my questions in 2 separate occasions, for Settled and Pre-Settled status in the UK. They provided all info with high accuracy, reminding me of few details I missed in calculating the requirements for Settled and Citizenship. Both sessions were scheduled to take place in less than 2 weeks. The first contact was answered immediately the day after the first message on the site. Timely, punctual and accurate in providing a full report in writing. I cannot but highly recommend IAS to anyone like me on the EU Settlement Scheme.”

“I rang up a few minutes ago based on a query for a client asking whether buying a property in the UK would give them residency and citizenship. He said they would only be able to answer the question if I gave them details of my client despite the fact that their website specifically provides some content and says they can answer questions. He asked me how could he possibly answer my question without speaking directly to my client. I was blown away by the by both the question and the rudeness and unprofessionalism of the tone. The lack of respect I would definitely not refer anyone to them.”
