with the UK Border Agency at the British High Commission
in Kenya providing services to help people apply for a visa

- How can we help you?

- Where can I get advice?
VFS Global and its staff cannot give you advice on how to
complete your visa application, or what type of visa you
should apply for. If you need help with your visa application
or advice about the UK's immigration rules and requirements,
you should seek advice from a qualified immigration adviser.
In the UK immigration advisers regulated by the Office of
the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC - www.oisc.gov.uk).
You can also obtain advice from legally qualified professionals
regulated by designated professional bodies. A list of legally
qualified professionals who can advise on immigration matters
can be downloaded from the following websites:
Law
Society of England and Wales
Law
Society of Scotland
Law
Society of Northern Ireland
Institute
of Legal Executives
Please note: The Law Societies of England, Wales,
Scotland and Northern Ireland and the Institute of Legal
Executives cannot provide direct help or advice on
visa applications. They can only provide a list of law firms
who can advise on immigration matters.
- Who decides if I will get a visa?
Your visa application will be processed and decided
by UK Border Agency visa staff. VFS staff do not play any
part in or influence the outcome of your visa application.
If any member of our staff claims to be able to influence
your application, you should inform the UK Border Agency
at the British High Commission as soon as possible.
