Specialist advisors

Laws and regulations around immigration can be confusing, which is why its best to seek specialist help. OISC illegal to give advice…

International Care Network (ICN)

ICN has been registered to give immigration advice since 2004.

They assist people with:

  • Applications to enter the UK
  • Visa extensions
  • Regularising status (for those here without permission)
  • Applications for British citizenship

They don’t work on asylum claims as they require specialist assistance and legal aid, but they can refer asylum claimants to trusted organisations. Similarly, they don’t represent applications for working or student visas (the points-based system) but can signpost clients to others who do this work.

If you would like some immigration advice, call their office on 01202 589395.
