confusedhsmp wrote:Hi guys,
I got my flr stamped on my passport today.
I used one of the solicitors here in london. They have been extremely helpful and guided me well. Plus their charges are a lot less.
I did all my homework for preparing the application and asked them to verify and send the documents. All they sharged me was £100!! hhehee
I swear the name of any solicitor on your application helps by making you look more credible and serious.
If anyone wants to know their contact detials please email me. I would recommend then to even my enemy. I am going mad due to hapiness...loool
love you guys..
Also if you need any help in your application ask me!!!
I don't think that is the case, the lawyer tends to not make mistakes, it isn't a competitive edge, it is more like insurance, it doesn't mean you will get approved but you covered your basis to avoid rejection.confusedhsmp wrote:Welll guys dont be silly lol....I bet you expect me to say that the Home Office is giving HSMP approvals outside malls like pamphlets for free...hehe...
The good news was that you dont realise the difference an application through solicitor can make!
since March 2007 everyone has started applying for HSMP. doing your application through solicitor gives you competitive edge. I wont say that you get extra points however the caseworker tends not to mess with lawyers
if you require contact detail of the lawyer. email me.

If you are as confused as most people are, then you should use a solicitor to avoid mishaps

Be positive.
its not confusion..its about someone assuring you on your worst fears. Just mere confidence can get ur luck shining back again!
Hahahahaha! It's a bit more scientific than that...the point with consultants is that we read between the lines and learn by our mistakes, so each time we hear of a refusal we know what not to do next time we apply!confusedhsmp wrote:Yes i just touched on 75.
Consultants just bullshit whatever is there in guidance notes anyway.
Thats what i said.. you make money by risking your clients..thats not professional! isit? Please understand how much our applications means to us! its our career, future and life.VictoriaS wrote:Hahahahaha!

Well that is totally unfair! Of course we understand what your applications mean to you, and that is why we do our utmost to get the applications approved, why we don't submit applications unless we are confident of success, why we inform clients of risks in advance, and, on the occasions that we fail, we learn by our mistakes. Most refusals come in because the Home Office make a mistake or move the goal posts, and there is little we can do about that other than appeal and hope for the best.confusedhsmp wrote:

Thanx for proving my point victoria.
Lawyers and Solicitors know what they are doing before they send the application.
Interesting. so now its Law Society -v- OICS ?VictoriaS wrote: Please remember that OISC inspect our files every year to make sure that we are advising correctly and doint everything properly. Solicitors do not have the same kind of inspection, and do not need any experience or knowledge of immigration law to practice. Victoria
No, not at all, but I have worked in firms regulated by the Law Society and firms regulated by OISC, and I know that solicitors firms don't get an annual audit as we do. They spent a day last week going through our casefiles, and it's a tough process!confusedhsmp wrote:

Now you are putting words in my mouth! I know many excellent immigration solicitors, and I know many excellent OISC consultants. I also know rubbish solicitors and rubbish consultants. I don't say we are any better, but that some are good and some are bad, as with any profession.confusedhsmp wrote:
You are right. I think we should have consultants representing in High Courts as Solicitors dont seem to be fit for the job (as you say. LOL).
Not quite true. OISC consultants have to take an immigration law exam before we are permitted to practice. Solicitors don't, unless they are doing Legal Aid work. Of course, most solicitors would not set up as immigration specialists without the experience.confusedhsmp wrote:
I dont know much about solicitors but can say that they do have the knowledge of Immigration Law otherwise they wont be allowed to practice. Regarding experience even OICS dont need experince as such! its the same. experience adds to your crediblity.
I'm not entirely sure that is true. Certainly, as far as public funding is concerned, they do have to prove they know what they are talking about, and take extra exams in immigration law.VictoriaS wrote:
