IAS handled my wife's immigration from Canada last year (2025), so apologies for the late review!
Although a relatively straightforward case, I didn't feel confident in dealing with the government bureaucracy and all of that side of things was dealt with by IAS. They kept us both in touch with developments and were brilliant at answering our questions, even responding in the early hours of the morning. Most importantly, they knew what evidence would be required, which forms needed to be completed and everything was dealt with in a professional manner, mostly by Mr. Khan. Costs were reasonable and exactly as we were advised that they would be.
We'll be returning, when we get my wife's visa extended.

I had an excellent experience with this great firm. They were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. Communication was always prompt and available to answer any questions, even if it's out of office hours. I was really scared about my visa because it wasn't a straightforward visa, but Mr Kha assured me that he'll do everything in his power, and he did. I highly recommend Immigration Advisory Services.

Excellent Experience
I had an excellent experience with Mr. Khizar Akhtar. He helped me out with Sponsor License application and then guided me through the Skilled Worker Visa process. Despite my short deadline, he ensured everything was done on time. Thanks to his expertise, both my wife and I got our visas without any issues. Highly recommend his service!

Great service. Not the first time was using them, my son engaged their services a few years ago and was very satisfied with their service. Everything clearly explained and advised accordingly. The whole process was handled efficiently. Having dealt with the Home Office before and knowing how stressful it is, am one happy client whose case was done stress free. I highly recommend them.
