Immigration services can be obtained from a number of different sources. Many people start their search for immigration services via their local immigration services and whilst this can be a good starting point, it should not be the only people who consult as their knowledge and scope of advice is limited.

Once you have basic advice, you way wish to obtain immigration services from wither an immigration solicitor or an immigration adviser, but the quality of advice will depend on the expertise of the person and it also important to ensure that the body or firm is regulated to give advice.

An immigration solicitor will be regulated by the Solicitors regulation Authority (SRA) where as a simple adviser will not. Instead, immigration advisers should be registered with the Office of Immigration Services Commission. However, it is increasingly difficult for this body to regulate their members and it can often be the case that advisers are not even registered.

It is always best to check out the firm you are obtaining advice from and if they are regulated they will be happy to provide you with this advice.

Immigration law is governed by immigration rules. The immigration rules can be found easily online or directly from the Home Office. The immigration rules govern immigration into the UK and specify the requirements for each visa and the different reasons for travel.

The immigration rules are there to protect the UK against an influx or flood of immigrants coming into the UK and causing a burden on the economy and its services, which is short we could not cope with.

Many people outside of the immigration rules, often refer to them as unfair, however if you have a legitimate requirement or need to enter the UK then they will not prevent you from doing so as long as they are adhered to.
