Do Not Trust Ukvisaandimmigration.co.uk!
During the initial phone call - I was advised that £600 would cover ALL costs associated with my immigration matter. Upon paying this - I was advised that I would have to pay another £835 for the fee . . . I was misled right from the start.
They requested an exhaustive list of items that they needed to handle my case. I sent them everything. Next thing I know - I get someone calling me and asking for me to send them the items I had already sent them! I feared my documents lost at that point . . .
All through the process - talking to someone on the phone was impossible. No response to emails or phone messages. I cannot tell you how frustrating this was - I was £1400 down and had sent them very important documents - I couldn't get someone on the phone.
Eventually - they did manage to submit my application (I seem to be one of the fortunate few) and my application was successful. The frustration and deceit I could have used without.
Highly recommend you avoid this company and take your money somewhere else!
Any contact with UK Visa and Immigration is now handled by UK Immigration Barristers. Same people, same trick. Upfront fees and no proper service provided. Three of them were in Court this week for a similar thing they ran at three solicitors' practices.
This is on such a masssive scale and so organised, SOCA should be investigating. Instead any investigation is being done by the Bar Standards Board who have absoloutely no powers to close down this outfit.

And Proved Guilty In The Uk Court Of Law....
I contacted them to obtain a sponsor license to be able to employ foreign artists and pay £1200 of fee upfront. Not only they did not support me but their intervention actually hindered the process: with their involvement I had the license refused 4 times, I then decided to apply on my own and was accepted straight away. ALl along the process they proved irresponsive, unprofessional and with little understanding of the whole Tier 2 and 5 licensing process, which is a basic for a company claiming to specialise in immigration matters. I sued them to get my money back, the court supported my claim and sent a bailif to collect my money, there is nobody at the UK address indicated on their website, this is a ghost company.
If I Were To Describe This Company Verbally, To A
If I were to describe this company verbally, to a friend, it would laced with a long list of prane nouns and adjectives. For those on the internet, here is a mild description.
As I called the company the first time, the director with his charm was quick to demand my money, take it and then never answer the phone again.
The first case worker that took on my account was quickly fired after 5 weeks. The remaining case workers were absolutely disgraceful in manners, were terribly slow to answer all my questions and were often gave wrong advice.
All in all, they wasted 24 months of my life and a healthy lump sum of money. Give my time and money back, I cannot believe you lot are allowed to live and breed.
I am going through same pain right now and kind of advice i have got seems 100% bad....there is no barrister at all.
How UK law can soare these kind of guys.

Hello... ukvisaandimmigration have started business with the new name ukimmigartionbarristors.co.uk... i have posted a review of them on reviewcentre. please post your review and warn other people beofre they scam money from them...
The police are investigating both companies - UK Visa and Immigration, UK Immigration Barristers. Seems like there are a lot of personnel who are tied to both companies. Neither company comes under OISC regulatory body for Immigration advice.
BEWARE!

Liars And Scammers
I first contacted them last year, has two of my visa applications were refused. This company promised to arrange all paper work and help to prepare documents and the application. They sounded so helpful at the start, then they wanted there £1200 upfront. Then the problems started, we was given FALSE and MISSLEADING information, and emails went unanswered, phone calls ignored.
The problem went on for many weeks, all the we was given false information, I even sent TWO letters of complaint to the general manager. These were ignored, I even traveled from Manchester to there office in Birmingham, yes I met the manager and was lied to but reassured all will be ok (yes more lies ).
I have just made an official complaint to the OISC, and received a later telling me that there licence and registration has been taken off them.
UK visa and immigration is NOT allowed to operate any more, and will be taken to court if they do.
I strongly advise all to keep there eyes open for this company and its staff, they will be prosecuted by the OISC.
I am going through pain of waiting for my application, they just said because of data protection you can not talk to Barrister who is handling your case. I have idea is it true or not??
I just got name of Barrister in my control panel and nothing else, its been 1 month and there is no proceedings in my application. Kind of document they asked and I replied is seems generalised and nothing related to my case.
Till now it seems to me a complete SCAM, if I am not convinced then definitely I will not dispatch my original documents with them.
Samje36's can you please find out if these guys has legal right to file my immigration case using their credentials etc.??
with please - call anytime on 07506688044 Alexandra Ashikhmina - I used to be one of their clients

Please read thro this blog and the following comments:
The police are now investigating, but in the meantime, I suggest you do as carrspaint did and call them up telling them that you will sue them.
Neither UK Visa and Immigration OR UK Immigration Barristers are registered with OISC the regulatory body.
we are still dealing to them as between this company and home office they lost our passports. first of all i requested document return from home office-to be able to prove the case status. then i will write complaint to home office.
i also complained to OISC,although they would not proceed claim as visa and immigration service are already suspended (even we sent documents in december when they acted under OISC legislation. we also written a letter to local MP, who contacted home office on our behalf.as last measures we are going to talk with police and media. good luck. if you lost money you can talk with your bank too, i know some people got their money this way

Do Not Use This Company - They Are Complete Scammers
If it was possible to give UK Visa and Immigration zero stars, I would. Never, ever in my life have I come across such an incompetent bunch of people, who are paid to provide 'professional and expert help' on matters of immigration. They have absolutely NO IDEA how the UK Home Office/Border Agency works and certainly are no help what so ever in assisting one secure any sort of visa. The ONLY thing they were quick to do was to take my money! I ended up doing all the paper work myself as everything they (apparently) checked and sent off to be reviewed was rejected by the Home Office. Applying for a visa is a very stressful process and when I hired UK Visa and Immigration to help with my application for a Tier 2 sponsorship visa, they added to my stress level 10 fold. None of my phone calls were ever returned and I would have to call a number of times to get the most basic of questions answered. Every time I did eventually get through to some useless case worker, they said they would have to call the Home Office to find out the answer.
Here is a massive tip people reading this and thinking about employing an immigration company (esp this corrupt company):- all advice from the Home Office is free, so save yourself £2,500 and just call them instead. They always answer the phone when you call, you can call as much as you want and you always receive the correct information.
Please, whatever you do, DO NOT USE this company - they will be no assistance at all in helping you get a visa.
Hi, did you get all your papers back? And money? What number did you use to ask for advice from the home office? I did sent my application last dec 2011.. Only last dec that we've found out that ukvai is closed!!! Now I got a letter from the h.o. Asking for some follow up documents.. Is it advisable to file it directly to h.o. Or rather look for another immigration experts? Can u help? Many thanks.

Wasted 15 Months Of Our Time
They took close to 15 months to prepare an application that was worse than I could have done myself. They wasted so much time by not giving us all the information we required to obtain the correct supporting evidence then at the last moment switched the type of visa we were applying for which was denied by the UK border control.
When I reached out to advise them they have yet to respond.
These people are only interested in taking your money and provide a terrible service.
