While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

The most awful company to deal with

The most awful company to deal with. I was a client of DWI and they had brilliant service. Since they were acquired by NewlandChase it's been a nightmare.
One year on since they are handling my mum's application. I was told they are applying for one visa but ended up with another visa. No Biometric card received either. No response to calls or emails.
I will raise this with the Law ombudsman as well about their services.

I wish I could give them 0 stars

This is the worst company you can deal with. I won’t mention all the issues but one-they sent my privat documents to the wrong address. If the person who received these documents would not find me on internet (no idea how he's done that), I would never get these documents and would pay a huge fine for its "loss".

It's a nightmare dealing with them

It's a nightmare dealing with them. When a problem raise in the application, you will encounter the following:

1. It takes the person in charge 5 days to reply a simple question
2. And she replied the wrong question.
3. When I wrote back to clarify my question I get an automatic reply saying she's out of office for 1 week and please contact her backup for further questions.
4. The backup never replies. When I called the backup says he needs to discuss with the person who is in vacation when she's back.
5. I have to solve the problem by finding answer in google and contacting Home Office on my own.

Not to mention that they gave me wrong/misleading information twice.

Had I applied on my own it would have been easier and faster. And I would have avoided 2 weeks delay of starting at my new job.

My suggestion is: Stay away from them. Do your own research and apply on your own to save both your money and time.

Rubbish customer service

Rubbish customer service, I email then called multiple time to get a simple quotation.

Received no email reply even after 2-3 days.

Called up visa consultant they promised to email back but no reply.

Again called to follow up, I guess they will not reply.

Dear Customers, Please take your business somewhere else.
