About US

Introduction

Oasis Christian Fellowship (OCF) is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and a Christian community committed to worship and service. Our members use their resources, time, and premises to share the values of the gospel.

OCF is also regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA), ensuring our immigration advisers are competent and act in the best interest of clients. Our IAA registration number is F202000212

Our Mission of Providing Immigration Advice & Services

The rising cost of immigration and nationality applications, along with expensive legal advice, has made the process unaffordable for many. OCF provides affordable immigration legal advice and representation, ensuring high-quality service at a lower cost than private firms. Any profits made are reinvested into pro bono work for those most in need.

Our Services

We offer diverse immigration advice and services to our clients in regards to whatever issues they may be challenged with.

We also offer legal advice and representation in immigration, asylum, and nationality matters. Our initial advice is free, and we operate on a fixed-fee basis, so you know your costs upfront. Our services align with the scope permitted for IAA Level 1 advisers.

Administrative Review

We assist to apply for an Administrative Review if the Home Office made a case working error, misapplied the rules, overlooked or misinterpreted evidence, or imposed incorrect visa conditions.

Our Mode Of Operations

Our advisers check documents, advise on requirements, assess applications against Home Office rules, and prepare submissions. We communicate directly with the Home Office and keep clients updated.

Clients must inform us of any direct Home Office communication regarding their application

Complaints Procedure

We are committed to providing a professional service. If at any stage you have concerns about how your case is being handled, please raise them with us directly—preferably in writing. If you would like a full copy of our internal complaint procedure, we are happy to provide it upon request. If your concern is not resolved to your satisfaction or you wish to escalate your complaint externally, you may raise the matter with the Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA), which regulates immigration advisers.

Your File

The Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA) requires us to keep a copy of your case file for up to six (6) years after your case is closed. After this period, your file may be destroyed unless you have made prior arrangements to collect it from us. Files are stored electronically in accordance with data protection regulations.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

The IAA requires us to have Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII). This insurance is in place to cover compensation we may need to pay in the event of a mistake or to cover any legal costs arising from negligence, misrepresentation, and/or inaccurate advice which may cause financial or other loss to the client.
