One does have to wonder when a member says 'solicitor' do they mean an 'immigration advisor', there is a huge difference with the latter only required to do a one day Level 1 OISC course to 'practice'.seasky wrote:I honestly wonder why immigration solicitors, as seen on this forum at least are often so cluelessneil20 wrote:Visited a solicitor today.

So a one day course and you can prey on unwitting immigrants? That's broken.CR001 wrote:Yes, as long as they are Registered with OISC and pay their annual fees to be an OISC advisor.

Yup and I suspect of quite a few of the questions on the forum 'on behalf of my friend/cousin/brother' etc is likely this scenario.seasky wrote:So a one day course and you can prey on unwitting immigrants?
