HERE IS A WARNING FROM THE PAGES

Registration of immigration advisers
All immigration advisers must be registered with the Office of Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC), or be an adviser with an organisation which is exempt from registration. Citizens Advice Bureaux are exempt but can only give basic immigration advice up to OISC Level One. You can find further details of OISC Level One on the OISC website at http://oisc.homeoffice.gov.uk.
Anyone who gives immigration advice and is neither registered nor exempt, will be committing a criminal offence. Every registered or exempt advice agency should display a certificate issued by the OISC to show it meets the OISC standards. The OISC can be contacted at:-
5th Floor
Counting House
53 Tooley Street
London
SE1 2QN
Helpline: 0845 000 0046 (for general enquiries)
Website: http://oisc.homeoffice.gov.uk
A list of all registered and exempt advisers and advice organisations can be seen on the OISC website, which also includes details of how to make a complaint about an immigration adviser. The OISC does not deal with enquiries about immigration problems.

1.  The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) is an independent public body set up under the  Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
2.  Since 30 April 2001 it has been a criminal offence for an adviser to provide immigration advice or services unless their organisation:
 has registered with the OISC;
 has been exempted from registration by the OISC or ministerial order; or is otherwise qualified under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
3. The OISC is responsible for ensuring that all immigration advisers fulfil the requirements of good practice. The OISC is committed to the elimination of unscrupulous advisers and the fair and thorough investigation of complaints. Whilst it does not regulate solicitors it does take complaints against solicitors.
