Immigration Advice Service 5 star review on 24th February 2020

“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.”

“Despite paying a significant fee, the quality of service was utterly unacceptable. I would never recommend any of my friends to start wasting time with them.”

“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 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.”

“Complete waste of £250. Paid for the initial consultation, was sent an email less than 24 hours before my call asking for a copy of my CV% which landed in my junk, then had a 25 minute call that I pretty much had to lead by asking questions, they didn't give me any real advice, just answered *some* of my questions, and left me feeling less clear on the process than when I started. Wish I'd have looked for someone a bit more proactive.”

“I had an extremely disappointing experience with this law firm in applying for the UK Global Talent Visa. My case was handled by Mariam Adebayo, and I would not recommend her services to anyone. Despite paying a significant fee, the quality of service was utterly unacceptable. The so-called “guidance” I received went little beyond what is publicly available on the Tech Nation website. There was almost no added value or strategic advice that justified hiring this firm at all. The documents prepared by Mariam Adebayo were consistently careless and poorly written. Multiple drafts were sent to me containing basic grammatical mistakes and clear evidence that my case was not being given proper attention. Even after I provided detailed corrections, it took multiple back-and-forth exchanges to have obvious errors addressed — a process that wasted both time and trust. Communication was equally poor. Responses were slow throughout. After my visa application was rejected, I emailed to arrange a follow-up call — a call that was originally proposed by the firm themselves — and never received any reply. Given the fees charged, the critical importance of the application, and the firm’s marketing of “expertise” in this area, I find this level of service entirely unprofessional. I will be sharing this review widely so that others are aware of my experience with Mariam Adebayo and this firm.”

“I email them to get a quote on a service, they asked me for my phone number to give me a call, when I provided it to them, Abigail asked what was it that I needed as my first email was blank for them - when it was clearly stated on the subject of the email as well. I did send her a copy of the first email and I am still waiting a response a week later... Looks like they don't want people to pay them, they just want people to take their business elsewhere? Completely ridiculous...”

“An absolutely rubbish service. I spoke to an alleged expert in my personal circumstances who provided zero information that was either useful or expert. The information he provided I had already discovered through my own research. When I asked questions he was unable to provide a definitive answer and I left the session with no more knowledge than which I had entered. The transcript I was promised never arrived despite numerous email requests. Overall a complete waste of my time and not insignificant amount of money.”

“Initially, the staff seemed friendly and helpful, but with each new phone call, I spoke with different people, and things moved very quickly. They kept demanding payment after payment. In the final conversation, I spoke with someone who introduced himself as Michael. I was labeled as rude and uncooperative simply because I requested written documentation of the process and next steps to fully understand my case before proceeding with payment. It doesn’t make sense to rush when dealing with legal processes, it felt more like a scam. I ended the call promptly. I do not recommend this service. I have already switched to a new company that is much more helpful, and I don’t have to pay more than $340.”

“PLEASE AVOID !!!! My experience with IAS has been more than awful. They are very quick of wanting your money, but in return they’re very unprofessional, unresponsive, absolutely not bothered to help you. My allocated immigration advisor, who supposed to direct me with my case, had no clue what was she doing ! I have never seen such a poor service before for a £100 !!! The girl, did not know much in her own field and I was correcting her most of the time. It was absolutely shocking ! I’m so glad, that I have not carry on with this company and I already have a different immigration firm, so please look elsewhere, if you wanna save your money and time. The customer service was extremely unhelpful too, just a lot of promises with zero action and I constantly felt neglected and ignored. IAS has gone down the hill massively, most of their employees work from home and the quality of the service is outrageous. Shame on you !!!! I used them pre-covid and it was great. Now ? Never again !!!!”
