I contacted and paid for an initial consultation. I was expecting the lawyer to give me different options of paths to immigration, instead he was steadfast on the one path I kept telling him I was not interested in, which is not actually my main issue. It took him almost a week to send me a review of our consult and after he just simply would not respond to any follow up questions. It felt like they took my money so he just simply didn't care after. Very unprofessional.

DONT……Communication is horrible and that’s only if you an existed client, no one reachable, not by phone or even email. You will have to call the landline and then look for your caseworker, they will say we will send him a msg, because he is not available or in a meeting, my experience been a nightmare, no one is updated, no one knows where is my resident permit, no one knows where my passport is……Simply a mess. Days pass to months for them just to deliver your permit, you would be lucky in you received an email back from them and that’s only in the afternoon and that’s push it till next day, got in touch with 4 persons since the beginning, a manager then 2 caseworkers and then another manager, progress takes for ever. They will get the job done but you will suffer

The worst service I've ever had at all, I do not recommend. I was told by them that they definitely could help with my problem, therefore I paid them 250 to have an emergency appointment with and specialist. When the supposed specialist called me, she told that there was nothing that could be done, and that is it.

The law firm does not care about their Clients at all. I’m a Euroean Citizen and applied for a simple Direct Airside Transit Visa for my wife. My case worker disappeared after the form was filed, and never called or emailed back. After the processing time was long over, I tried and tried to get a hold of my caseworker or his supervisor. The law firm promised me more information on my application, but no one ever called or emailed me. I never got the promised phone call from the supervisor. PLEASE BE AWARE: YOU DEAL WITH CASE WORKERS, NO ATTORNEYS. I WERE NOT ABLE TO TALK TO AN ATTORNEY IN OVER 4 WEEKS. I’m not blaming them for not getting this simple visa on time, I’m blaming them not to care at all, and give you no help. Sometimes I really thought this company is a scam! I’m still not sure. I never got any response. MY ADVICE: DO NOT HIRE THIS LAW FIRM, TAKE A SERIOUS ATTORNEY AND NOT GET A CASEWORKER FOR A LOT OF MONEY THAT DOES NOT CARE, AND CANNOT HELP.. I think all the 5 star ratings are done by themselves or a good social media company. I cannot say anything positive about this immigration office. Regards

Think again the service I had with the immigration advice service Ltd., the person who worked for my case just really rush to let the case done. The case is done now but I still haven’t got my BRP back to me. I still haven’t got my BRP yet after one month after I’ve received the home office decision. Also, this company has so many ways to charge you extra money!!!

The case worker dealing with my case left the firm not long after my appointment. He was supposed to send me an email with some research on the WRS - good character connection. This was the main reason for my appointment. I haven't received this email (or any emails) from him or from anyone else. I am disappointed with the service provided, because I feel like I paid for nothing and the package wasn't cheap. It would have been nice for someone to pick up my case and follow it up.

This is the second time I am useing Ias and the decision is what I would regret all my life . No support from lawyer at all. Hardly respond to email. Applied for leave to remain renewal and it's been over 7 months now I haven't had anything from home office despite d fact I did biometric enrolment last year August. . My first application bearly took 4 month . Contacted Ias all d response I got is they can't force home office to make decision even if my biometric renewal takes forever . I have stoped working for d past 7 month living from hand to mouth. Would never ever use ias again never

My overall rating is extremely poor. The promises I was made were not kept. I have paid the full service and I have NOT received what was due. Whenever I tried to make contact with IAS, they either did not reply or were not available. This is NOT the kind of service you would expect. I would be in a position to sue IAS, but it will be too much pain. I will share my experience with as many people as possible through word of mouth, social media and other means. IAS do not deserve any credit. Totally unreliable and unprofessional.

Whilst I was able to talk to somebody initially, when I later asked for advice (on documents to be submitted with the application) I did not even get a reply. TWICE. As far as I am concerned, I write you off as another con trick on the web. I should have known better.

The gentleman I spoke to was ill, he had a cold which he apologised for but was unable to give me the advice I needed, and what he did give me was incorrect. The biggest waste of money I have ever spent. Will not be suggesting you to anybody.
