“Do not trust ukvisaandimmigration.co.uk!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by VicPoole on 23/07/2013

During the initial phone call - I was advised that £600 would cover ALL costs associated with my immigration matter. Upon paying this - I was advised that I would have to pay another £835 for the fee . . . I was misled right from the start. They requested an exhaustive list of items that they needed to handle my case. I sent them everything. Next thing I know - I get someone calling me and asking for me to send them the items I had already sent them! I feared my documents lost at that point . . . All through the process - talking to someone on the phone was impossible. No response to emails or phone messages. I cannot tell you how frustrating this was - I was £1400 down and had sent them very important documents - I couldn't get someone on the phone. Eventually - they did manage to submit my application (I seem to be one of the fortunate few) and my application was successful. The frustration and deceit I could have used without. Highly recommend you avoid this company and take your money somewhere else!

Any contact with UK Visa and Immigration is now handled by UK Immigration Barristers. Same people, same trick. Upfront fees and no proper service provided. Three of them were in Court this week for a similar thing they ran at three solicitors' practices.

This is on such a masssive scale and so organised, SOCA should be investigating. Instead any investigation is being done by the Bar Standards Board who have absoloutely no powers to close down this outfit.

“And proved guilty in the UK court of law....”

★☆☆☆☆

written by veroa1401 on 02/04/2013

I contacted them to obtain a sponsor license to be able to employ foreign artists and pay £1200 of fee upfront. Not only they did not support me but their intervention actually hindered the process: with their involvement I had the license refused 4 times, I then decided to apply on my own and was accepted straight away. ALl along the process they proved irresponsive, unprofessional and with little understanding of the whole Tier 2 and 5 licensing process, which is a basic for a company claiming to specialise in immigration matters. I sued them to get my money back, the court supported my claim and sent a bailif to collect my money, there is nobody at the UK address indicated on their website, this is a ghost company.

“If I were to describe this company verbally, to a...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by disgruntledimmigrant on 06/01/2013

If I were to describe this company verbally, to a friend, it would laced with a long list of prane nouns and adjectives. For those on the internet, here is a mild description. As I called the company the first time, the director with his charm was quick to demand my money, take it and then never answer the phone again. The first case worker that took on my account was quickly fired after 5 weeks. The remaining case workers were absolutely disgraceful in manners, were terribly slow to answer all my questions and were often gave wrong advice. All in all, they wasted 24 months of my life and a healthy lump sum of money. Give my time and money back, I cannot believe you lot are allowed to live and breed.

“Liars and scammers ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 13/09/2012

I first contacted them last year, has two of my visa applications were refused. This company promised to arrange all paper work and help to prepare documents and the application. They sounded so helpful at the start, then they wanted there £1200 upfront. Then the problems started, we was given FALSE and MISSLEADING information, and emails went unanswered, phone calls ignored. The problem went on for many weeks, all the we was given false information, I even sent TWO letters of complaint to the general manager. These were ignored, I even traveled from Manchester to there office in Birmingham, yes I met the manager and was lied to but reassured all will be ok (yes more lies ). I have just made an official complaint to the OISC, and received a later telling me that there licence and registration has been taken off them. UK visa and immigration is NOT allowed to operate any more, and will be taken to court if they do. I strongly advise all to keep there eyes open for this company and its staff, they will be prosecuted by the OISC.

The group UK Visa and Immigration Scam has now been blocked on facebook - seems they did a pretty good job at knocking a hole in the income of the likes of UK Visa and Immigration (no longer registered with OISC) (winding up order against them) now seems to have transferred business to UK Immigration Barristers.

I am going through pain of waiting for my application, they just said because of data protection you can not talk to Barrister who is handling your case. I have idea is it true or not??

I just got name of Barrister in my control panel and nothing else, its been 1 month and there is no proceedings in my application. Kind of document they asked and I replied is seems generalised and nothing related to my case.

Till now it seems to me a complete SCAM, if I am not convinced then definitely I will not dispatch my original documents with them.

Samje36's can you please find out if these guys has legal right to file my immigration case using their credentials etc.??

We had the same problem.

The only person i managed to eventually receive any reply from by email was (name removed) ..... Which quickly came following a threatening telephone conversation with UK Immigration Barristers (which I believe is the new company).
We managed to get all of our documents back but still waiting any refund that was offered to us.

Google search him & you will find quite a tangled web (also search any of the names you were given in communications while you dealt with this rip-off company.

[email protected]

Do any of these names ring any bells:

(Name removed) (dealt with us briefly)

Name removed) (our "case worke!" - LLB (HONS) AT MANCHESTER METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY

we are still dealing to them as between this company and home office they lost our passports. first of all i requested document return from home office-to be able to prove the case status. then i will write complaint to home office.
i also complained to OISC,although they would not proceed claim as visa and immigration service are already suspended (even we sent documents in december when they acted under OISC legislation. we also written a letter to local MP, who contacted home office on our behalf.as last measures we are going to talk with police and media. good luck. if you lost money you can talk with your bank too, i know some people got their money this way

Hello All, What a 4 weeks stressful we had with these idiots in ukvisaandimmigration.

Basically company is busted and there is a wind up petition against them in court for early October and they are closed from 11 July 2012.

They lied to us, gave false information and stalled for time.
I made an offical complaint to the immigration commissioners, and have just received a letter to say that the solicitors have lost there licence and there registration with the OISC has been cancelled.
I lost £1200 with them.

“DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE COMPLETE SCAMMERS”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Crown67 on 05/08/2012

If it was possible to give UK Visa and Immigration zero stars, I would. Never, ever in my life have I come across such an incompetent bunch of people, who are paid to provide 'professional and expert help' on matters of immigration. They have absolutely NO IDEA how the UK Home Office/Border Agency works and certainly are no help what so ever in assisting one secure any sort of visa. The ONLY thing they were quick to do was to take my money! I ended up doing all the paper work myself as everything they (apparently) checked and sent off to be reviewed was rejected by the Home Office. Applying for a visa is a very stressful process and when I hired UK Visa and Immigration to help with my application for a Tier 2 sponsorship visa, they added to my stress level 10 fold. None of my phone calls were ever returned and I would have to call a number of times to get the most basic of questions answered. Every time I did eventually get through to some useless case worker, they said they would have to call the Home Office to find out the answer. Here is a massive tip people reading this and thinking about employing an immigration company (esp this corrupt company):- all advice from the Home Office is free, so save yourself £2,500 and just call them instead. They always answer the phone when you call, you can call as much as you want and you always receive the correct information. Please, whatever you do, DO NOT USE this company - they will be no assistance at all in helping you get a visa.

They took close to 15 months to prepare an application that was worse than I could have done myself. They wasted so much time by not giving us all the information we required to obtain the correct supporting evidence then at the last moment switched the type of visa we were applying for which was denied by the UK border control. When I reached out to advise them they have yet to respond. These people are only interested in taking your money and provide a terrible service.

I have spent the last week trying to contact them and no luck. Ever number that I have for them is either a recorded message telling me to email or is no longer active. When I email, I get no response.

I did a bit of checking and there was still activity on their Facebook page. So i sent them a private message asking why i can no longer get in touch with them and that I had requested a call back and no-one had got back to me. They responded with a message asking when I requested the call back to which i replied 'yesterday'. The afternoon of that same day, i checked their Facebook page and it had been deleted

To get in touch with them, I have even pretended that I am a new customer and requested numerous call backs and no one has contacted me.

I have a feeling that they have gone bust, been shut down or are no longer available and have no idea what to do next. They may have my visa and passport, they may not... I have not had a clue.

Have you had any further look with getting in touch with them/finding out what is happening? Have you reported them to the OISC? Please comment even if you have nothing yet as I want to start investigating this further.

Lets keep this thread going and see if we can find anything out

“the worst visa advice service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 02/07/2012

One of the worst service providers in the UK when it comes to advice on immigration matters. They do all the sweet talk in the beginning, take the full amount and then vanish. Expect very late or no response at all from their case workers. There isn't much you can do once you have paid them upfront. In fact on many occasions I received wrong advice. I am in the process of reporting them to the Bar Association and also to UKBA for their conduct. Better STAY AWAY then sorry.

“A fabulous service”

★★★★★

written by prissya on 30/05/2012

Thanks to UK visa and Immigration my children got their UK visas to come and join me in the UK after their mother had passed away. I did not know what was going to happen to them and needed to get them here quickly. I contacted UK visa and immigration for urgent help and they acted so quickly. My caseworker was so helpful and did all the paperwork for me and now I am the happiest man in the world because my children arrived safely in the UK and can stay permanently and legally without having to worry about the future.

“I didn’t expect such great online service.”

★★★★★

written by on 30/04/2012

Although these folks are a legal firm, they operate with the efficiency of a really good website business. I didn’t need to have to meet them face-to-face as I was able to complete much of the process online. I spoke to an Immigration expert via the live-web-chat, sent my documents through the post and paid via telephone. Much of the info I needed about my Visa was online and they offered a number of ways for me to get in touch. The process could be quicker if they had an online payment system or a better way to send documents, however, I enjoyed being able to do everything from home and the office. My Immigration expert was always on hand to help me if I had any questions so I never felt alienated and left to sort stuff out myself.

“UK Visa and Immigration charged a fixed fee…”

★★★★★

written by garthh on 20/04/2012

Every other service that I had called to help me all wanted to charge by the hour or charge an extortionate amount for me to get a marriage visa. I simply didn’t have the budget to pay hourly fees or some of the prices that I was being quoted and I was all set to give up searching. I was given the information about this service by a friend who had used them before, met them in person and had been given an information pack. When I flicked through the information pack I was immediately drawn in by the price promise. I contacted the service by visiting the website and completing a contact form. I was called almost immediately by a representative and they confirmed that they did indeed have a fixed fee policy and that was good enough for me.

“Poor Communication”

★☆☆☆☆

written by tobysquash on 27/02/2012

All started well when i contacted the company! Wanted to get My Wife Sister over for a visit from Thailand. Went through all the requested process's of obtaining documents,sent them off for checking etc. Went to and fro with documents for a few weeks. I left it for a period due to business commitments. Then decided to contact them to finish the application. Got all the required documents returned from them, with a note to say an appointment had been booked. Sent all the relevant info over to Thailand and the sister went to the interview. Only there was no interview nothing had been booked. Called them and they said I should have confirmed the appoinment online, did i get the instruction email. i said no which i hadn't so i asked can it be booked again, after a fair amount of chasing they assured me an appoinment had been booked and was confirmed, again I sent the Sister to Bangkok for the interview. Again there was no record of it! Even though i had confirmed it twice with them. I am now in the process of doing it myself after wasting money on their service. I got a very poor service!!! C.N

“I would highly recommend their services.”

★★★★★

written by zackstone05 on 23/02/2012

I use the UK Visa and Immigration website regularly to keep up-to-date with the news that they post on their site. I came across an article that was talking about increased Visa fees in the UK and this affected me because I come to Britain regularly for Business purposes and I soon had to apply for a business visit visa. Thanks to the news on the website I was able to avoid the increased charges for my next Business Visit Visa. What’s great about their service is that they appear to have the latest information on everything and because of this I have used them on several occasions now and I am more impressed every time I use them. Almost everything is available to do in one place, you can contact them through the website, you can get can get all the latest information about what is happening with visa changes and it’s all very useful. It’s slightly annoying that you can’t pay online for your visa, although they display all the card payment features on their site, you still have to call up the accounts team to pay direct, but other than that the service standard is of the highest quality. I consider myself to be a regular user of their services now as they give that something extra, which a lot of other providers that I had tried previously just do not give. They make everything simple and I never would have said before that anything related to law was simple. The hassle and stress of applying for my business visit visa is completely removed from my life every time I use these guys, I would highly recommend their services.

“Fantastic Service”

★★★★★

written by on 22/02/2012

I needed a Visa extension really quickly as I had totally forgotten to renew mine after its six month expiry period. I knew that there was no chance that I would get this done by myself, so I contacted UK Visa and Immigration. I was worried at first that they may not be a real company so I called their bluff and asked if I could make an appointment to come and see them in their London office, which they had listed on their website. They didn’t have a problem with that so I visited them and I was seen by an expert, having made an appointment. The offices were really nice and really easy to locate. The expert talked me through the process of carrying out my Visa extension. I paid there and then, a fixed fee payment might I add, and they took all my details and documents from me. I explained that my Visa was to run out the next day. They said that’s not a problem, we’ll get it sorted and they didn’t let me down. That night I slept easily and I then got a phone call the very next day to say that everything had gone through and my Visa extension had been granted. Amazing service, incredibly quick and everything was done without delay. I have no hesitation in saying I will use these guys again. Martin Thomas, UK.
