Stay away from UKGIC

UKGIC is a scam UKGIC called me immediately within minutes of an interview for a job in the UK camp counselor job with PGL Travel I mistakenly assumed that UKGIC was associated with the prospective employer They quoted an initial price of approximately 1000 for a work visa I believed that the work visa was in process for about 6 weeks until UKGIC called again this time using a fast-talking high-pressure approach that persuaded me to make two additional charges for document submission and verification and case file optimization I started to feel very uneasy about the conversation and looked up UKGIC only to discover several posts from other people who d been scammed by UKGIC and I hung up The total charge for no service and no work visa came to over 7800 I ve since made four written requests for a full refund given that they obtained payment under false pretenses As others have stated they responded with messages that they needed time to understand and resolve the requests If UKGIC wants to refund the payments I d be happy to update this review accordingly This review was originally posted under my parents names since it was their credit card UKGIC flagged my review saying they d love to understand your experience better They then claimed not to have enough detail although I d already communicated with them not once but four times in great detail regarding order numbers charges and alleged services They also claim a 97 satisfaction rate even though TrustPilot says they ve detected a number of fake reviews on TrustPilot itself In the meantime I ve disputed the charges with our credit card company placed a fraud alert on my credit notified my bank and filed a report with the FTC United States Federal Trade Commission It is important to point out that we lost only money Fake immigration services like UKGIC also prey on the hopes of people attempting to flee desperate circumstances Shame on UKGIC Edit UKGIC obtained 7800 dollars under false pretenses I have received no visa and no services I ve requested a full refund four times each answered with a canned message I am happy to update this review when UKGIC gives me a full refund

If I could give no stars I would

If I could give no stars I would PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY UKGIC makes their money by providing misleading and false information They blatantly lie just to suck you in I enquired about a visa for my daughter to go to the UK to be with her partner I thought I was doing the right thing reaching out to UKGIC What a mistake They sounded so good on the phone and assured me they would be able to obtain the right visa for her I paid them the amount they requested and sent them her resume and unfortunately a copy of her passport They again assured me this evaluation was going to reveal the best option Well this turned out to be a total fabrication they said my daughter qualified for a skilled worker visa with a score of 70 and this would be the best way to go The evaluation looked very professional and as I was speaking to the legal department and they were providing legal advise which I clarified on the phone several times Now as I was speaking to the professionals and they were providing me with legal advise I made the mistake of assuming they were correct I paid them more money to start the visa process and they sent out P100 documents for a skilled worker visa and one of the mandatory requirements is a degree or a diploma neither of which my daughter has I questioned this as they had her resume so they knew her education level they told me just to send in her high school certificate This made me think that it was all a scam and I contacted the UK Gov and they confirmed the skilled worker needs to have a higher education that high school So I asked for a refund for misleading information and fraudulently obtaining money for a service that they cannot provide and guess what no refund so now my bank will deal with them So disappointing that a Company can operate like this they should be shut down UPDATE Ok so by UKGIC s comment the information supplied to them was inaccurate The resume provided to them clearly stated my daughter s employment history so the only thing that was inaccurate was the visa they said she was eligible for They have kindly cough cough offered me 300 USD of the 2100 AUD I have paid The complaint lodged with the OISC and my bank will hopefully rectify this

Call Center Scheme

This business is a scam They offer a lot of information to get you on board which I found mostly incorrect They also have a super charismatic first contact who gets you to buy their services They are not on the list of certified companies that work with UK visas Find a legitimate solicitor and run far away from UKGIC I paid their price backed out immediately and the company refused a refund I made a dispute and won Any positive review is fake Update to account for reply for For future consumers https www gov uk find-an-immigration-adviser All immigration advisers must be registered with OISC Register of Regulated Immigration Advisershttps portal oisc gov uk s adviser-registerUKGIC is not included on this extensive list UKGIC offered a partial refund AFTER I initiated a dispute I never accepted their offer I know their documentation is off because they couldn t give me any accurate details on my account I disputed the claimed services rendered they were trying to charge me for as they had provided zero services except talking me into buying their product They also provided a contract for the partial refund amount in which I had to sign before any refund could be initiated if they were to initiate one which included Client Statements The services provided by the Company are satisfactory The Client Shall not pursue any further course of action that may purposely or inadvertently damage the company its employees and associated service providers The Client shall refrain from posting any disparaging reviews of the company or associated services Any previous disparaging postings will be removed by the client It s surprising that UKGIC thought the matter was resolved when I did not in fact sign their document to state as much and the dispute was ongoing UKGIC was unwilling to talk to me before I filed the dispute They were unwilling to work with me after I filed the dispute so I find it very unappealing to discuss this matter any further with them There are a multitude of registered agencies to pick from or local solicitors within the UK to reach out to

SCAM Just lost GBP 800

This agency traps you into believing you can qualify for a work visa in the UK and straight away bills you 790 just to determine whether you are eligible for the visa or not however on the preliminary call they already tell you that you are eligible and they word it in a way that 790 is the fee for everything This is only to determine what category you fall into They hide all future costs before you sign up Even when you ask they avoid the question I was made believe that the whole thing would cost 790 Once you have paid 790 and send over a few docs like a copy of your passport and cv then you receive a call from a consultant who talks about the next steps before forwarding you to the billing team for yet another 3500 or more for the process to begin A very immoral way of doing business

If I could give zero stars

If I could give zero stars it still would be too much They are scammers and took a lot of money off my purse I m in contact with the police right now to get them sorted out BE CAREFUL DONT LET THEM TALK YOU INTO YOUR RUIN They promise you a visa for the UK and have nothing to do with the government

It s not legit Do not engage

I paid 40 for a consultation that is just a phone call whenever they want to call you they don t ask when is the best time for you The consultation was not a space where you can get personalized information for your particular situation they just try to get your credit card information to charge you hundreds of pounds for them to evaluate your eligibility If you don t want to pay right then and there they put you through a manager that will try to convince you to not hang up and pay now I am so disappointed and I feel scammed
