Association of Regulated Immigration Advisers

The Association of Regulated Immigration Advisers was formed in 2003 and is the professional association for UK Regulated Immigration Advisers and represents both the registered and exempt sectors. It is a non-profit making, self-financing body whose aims include:

• to promote the image and professionalism of regulated advisors,
• to provide news, information and a focus of resource facilities for its members,
• to act as a focus for discussion with the OISC, the government and other professional bodies, and
• to represent its member?s interests.

The Association is open to both Registered and Exempt OISC Regulated organisations and those organisations who provide Immigration advice and services under a another legal Regulatory Scheme within the UK as well as those who operate outside the borders of the UK Regulatory Schemes on a ?best practice? basis.

The Association has two grades of membership – corporate and associate – dependent upon the Regulated Organisation within which the member works or operates. Officers on the Committee of the Association are responsible for the running of the Association and meet at least once every 3 to 4 months. The Association itself does not provide immigration advice and services in its own right – only support for those organisations who are, in themselves, Registered, or operate under a ?Best Practice? scheme to provide immigration services.
