Immigration Advice and Services at Oasis Christian Fellowship
Oasis Christian Fellowship (Telford), known as OCF, is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) dedicated to serving the Christian community. Our members are motivated by their faith to apply the insights and values of the gospel through worship and service.
OCF is regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC), ensuring that our immigration advisers are fit and competent and act in the best interests of our clients. Our OISC registration number is F202000212. OCF is also a proud member of the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA), established in 1984 to enhance immigration law practice standards.
In recent years, the costs associated with immigration and nationality applications have risen steeply, making the process extremely expensive and contributing to the factors causing poverty among migrants.
At OCF, we provide affordable immigration legal advice and representation covering a wide range of immigration, asylum, and nationality matters. We operate on a not-for-profit basis, with fees/donations collected solely to cover our operational costs and provide pro-bono work for those in need. We believe that everyone is entitled to high-quality, honest, and affordable legal advice and representation.
