Immigration Helpline London

[tonito1]

Have any of you used Immigration Helpline London or Immigration Helpline UK?
I want to use them for my visa application, if you have any experience, it would be great.

Will they be charging a fee for doing something you could do yourself?

Perhaps my time as a moderator on this site has made me over-cynical but I always suspect posts such as this one, coming from a new member, as being the first bit of 'two-part spam'. (i.e. another new member will follow along to praise the services of the company referred to in the question).

Anyway . . .

Quote:
"If you want to come to London, either to join your partner, work, study or just take a holiday and experience the British culture, you will need to obtain a London Visa. The London Visa category is broken down into a number of sub-categories, each with varying requirements, to assess an applicant’s eligibility."

I certainly wouldn't trust any firm that repeatedly refers to a 'London visa' (as there's no such thing). Further I'd be hesitant about using a company, providing a service where 100% accuracy is required, which can't be bothered to get someone to proof read their own website to get rid of the errors I can easily spot there.

I also wouldn't trust any company that hides behind an 'accommodation address':

Further, unless a national government has contracted out their visa application process to an accredited agency, I would never consider using any service other than the official one provided by the relevant government as it's a total waste of money.

I agree 100% with Buenchico. There's no such thing as a "London" visa! You apply for a visa to visit the UK. This lot sound like a load of cowboys out to make a fast buck.

Use the official government websites, you run the risk of being scammed if you go anywhere else.
