The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) is an independent public body set up under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, and is led by Immigration Services Commissioner.
The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 (Part V) established a scheme to regulate immigration advisers in the United Kingdom. The Act set up the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) as an independent public body to ensure that immigration advisers are fit and competent and act in the best interest of the client.
Since 30
April 2001 it has been a criminal offence for an adviser to provide immigration
advice or services unless their organisation is either registered with the
OISC or has been granted a certificate of exemption by the OISC.
