Exciting Transformation: Welcome to the Immigration Advice Authority!

Feb 21, 2025

Today marks a significant milestone in the journey of immigration advice in the UK. The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) has officially rebranded itself as the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA). This transformation goes beyond a mere name change; it symbolises a renewed commitment to providing high-quality, accessible immigration advice for those who need it most.

As the IAA, we will oversee a network of over 3,700 immigration advisers and 2,000 organisations, ensuring that individuals and families receive guidance from qualified professionals. Our primary mission is to protect vulnerable individuals from unregulated advisers while promoting high standards and integrity within the immigration advice sector.

John Tuckett, the Immigration Services Commissioner, shared insights on this transformation, stating, "This evolution keeps advice seekers at the heart of everything we do. We are enhancing our services and taking a more robust approach to regulation. Our goal is to disrupt illegal advice-giving activities and support the development of the sector in collaboration with our partners."

The IAA has set forth an ambitious corporate plan for 2025-2027, which outlines four key aims that will guide our efforts:

Timely and Reliable Advice: We are dedicated to ensuring that individuals receive prompt and reliable immigration advice from regulated professionals.
Disruption of Illegal Activities: We will actively work to disrupt and prosecute illegal advice-giving activities that undermine the integrity of the immigration system.
Public Awareness: Increasing public awareness about the importance of accessing regulated advice and the risks associated with unregulated services is a top priority.
Transformation Program: We are committed to modernising our processes, infrastructure, and organisational culture to better serve our community.

The IAA is also exploring a new funding model in conjunction with these objectives. This will be developed in consultation with Ministers and Home Office officials to ensure sustainability and efficiency. In the short term, we will focus on modernising and automating our processes, which will allow us to reinvest savings into our staff and services.

For those interested in learning more about our strategic vision, we encourage you to visit our new website at Immigration Advice Authority and download our comprehensive corporate plan.

This is an exciting time for the IAA, and we are eager to embark on this journey towards enhancing the quality and accessibility of immigration advice across the UK. Together, we can make a difference for those seeking guidance in navigating the complexities of the immigration system.

I can honestly say everyone that I deal with at UK Visas are very efficient, super helpful and informative and extremely nice (especially Ana and Garima). Also patient with all my questions – nothing is ever too much trouble, and very prompt with their responses.

Having worked with UK Visas for more than eight years, I cannot recommend their services enough. We have worked with them on a wide variety of immigration topics, including complex licence matters (following acquisitions), day to day sponsorship processes, and reporting; and we have always received an amazing service.

Members of the team are responsive and come back to our queries quickly, they are always polite, and go out of their way to be as helpful as possible. Thank you to all of the team for the wonderful ongoing support you provide!

Thank you and we look forward to continuing the relationship.
