Have your say on OISC's guidance on competence for immigration advisors
04 November 2009
The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) has launched a consultation on revising its guidance on competence.
The OISC has a duty to ensure that people providing immigration advice or immigration services are competent to do so. Its guidance on competence sets out the standards that advisers should meet.
Following the introduction of the points-based system and other important developments in immigration, the OISC is considering whether the guidance needs to be fundamentally changed. This consultation is an opportunity for advisers and other stakeholders to be involved in the OISC's decision-making process, so that the future regulation of immigration advisers remains efficient and relevant to the changes happening in the wider immigration sector.
The consultation is open for 12 weeks, until 29 January 2010.
For further information on the consultation and details on how to respond, please see the OISC website.
