The
Association of Regulated Immigration Advisers
is the professional Association for Regulated Immigration Advisers in
the United Kingdom. The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 provides for the
Regulation of Immigration Advisers in the UK.
Since the Immigration
Act 1971, and the British Nationality Act of 1981, successive
Governments in the UK have, for a number of reasons, introduced further
immigration laws and changed many aspects of existing British
Immigration Law and Rules. These, together with the introduction of
further British Law to cater for European Community Immigration imposed
on the UK over the years, has made the whole area of UK Immigration law
extremely complex.
In view of this,
Immigration Law is becoming more and more of a ‘specialist’ area of UK
Law. This has resulted in many Solicitors turning their attention away
from Immigration towards other areas of domestic law. Immigration
organisations, advisers, consultants, law centres have therefore
steadily found it necessary to provide an increasing amount of legal
advice and services in the area of Immigration.
It is important all
people seeking Immigration advice and services both in and outside the
UK, for whatever reason, are reassured the advice and services they
receive is given in a competent, efficient and effective manner. The
introduction of Regulation in regard to UK Immigration and the Office of
the Immigration Services Commissioner has gone some way to achieve
this. The Association of Regulated Immigration Advisers will compliment
this by providing further reassurance that a professional association
supports the Regulated UK immigration advice and service providers.
We hope the pages of
this web site will provide some reassurance that our members providing
advice and consultancy immigration services in the UK, have the support
of this Association. It is also our primary aim to promote the image and
professionalism of Regulated immigration advisers in the UK, and in
doing so encourage the provision of more effective and efficient
immigration services generally.
When choosing
immigration advice and service providers,
it is therefore in your interests to ensure the organisation you choose
to provide the immigration advice and services you require, is regulated
and is one of our member organisations. Look for our logo and ask!
