Immigration is often a very sensitive subject, but one imagines that most reasonable people would agree upon two things.

Firstly, that it is desirable that people who wish to come to the United Kingdom and work in those areas where there is a shortage of capable staff and where their talents are sorely needed should be able to do so.

Secondly, that a process needs ideally to exist through which immigration can take place through the established channels and in accordance with all the rules and regulations that exist to ensure it is properly managed. We have heard all the sad stories of trafficking, smuggling and exploitation.

We have heard about ruthless individuals who wax fat on the misery of those who will give their last penny to board a truck to a place of employment which pays them very little and puts them to work of a kind which often pays no regard to even the most basic of health and safety considerations.

Fortunately on the other side of the coin there exists the respectable UK immigration service available for those wishing to acquire a UK visa and immigrate legally and properly, to work and to live. Consultants are regulated by the OISC (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) and offer specialist advice on UK immigration law and on visas.

Immigration is by no means a simple or uniform process. There are fiancé visas, the UK marriage visa,, visitor and tourist visas, same day tier 1, same day tier 4, tier 2, indefinite leave to remain, same day indefinite leave to remain and myriad other options. Documentation specific to one particular country or part of the world such as the same day China visa can also be provided by some specialists in the field.

Often a free visa assessment can enable the potential visitor to gain a preliminary idea of which options are open, information that can frequently prove invaluable when considering how to use the process to best effect. It pays to use advice that a service user knows is trustworthy. As well as being regulated by the OISC it is helpful when the service provider is capable of communicating in different languages. All the information should be explained and made available in the simplest terms.

Being in receipt of all the information enables the client to make an informed and confident choice on the basis of certain knowledge.
