Immigration Advisory Service

Added 8 June 2006

The Immigration Advisory Service (IAS) is the UK’s largest charity providing confidential advice and representation in immigration, asylum and nationality law. These services are free to people who are eligible, but they also offer a fee-paying (non-profit) service. They are independent from the government, and have offices and advice surgeries across the UK and abroad.

The website contains advice about immigration and asylum law, and they have summaries in Urdu, Arabic, Pashtu, Russian, Portuguese and Turkish.

The IAS is regulated by the OISC (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) and is  subject to the Commissioner’s rules. With over 35 years of experience in giving advice about immigration and asylum law, it is also part of the Community Legal Service scheme.
