“Seeking to invest in the UK, I was unsure about the process for an Investment Visa”

Joseph H.
5/6/24

Seeking to invest in the UK, I was unsure about the process for an Investment Visa. UKGIC not only provided a clear eligibility assessment but also guided me meticulously through document preparation and application submission. Their regular policy updates and personalized advice were pivotal in navigating this complex process.

“SCAM! Lost £800 - Stay away”

Frank Z.
7/19/23

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!) It seems a lot just to determine what category you fall into, as it takes 5 mins on the UK gov site to check your category. 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 for the process to begin! A very immoral way of doing business as you are not made aware of potentially high costs following the first conversion.

Tip for consumers:
They should let people know about consequent pending costs after first sign up (now they do not say anything about this).

This is a third party scamming company plaguing vulnerable immigrants. The day they are legitimate, when the correct application process is on a different website. They are a pay per click scam that gets to the top of internet search browsers. They will steal your money and offer services you can find yourself if you clicked on the correct website. Zero stars.

UKgic is acting as a fake third-party immigration service, call center scamming company, using pay-per-click ads to drive vulnerable immigrants to their website so they can steal all your money. All the positive reviews on review websites are bots and fake accounts.

I have fallen as a victim and I have lost 4550 pounds. They'll first charge you 700+ pounds to "verify" which visa you are eligible for then force to charge an additional 3800 pounds and take you by surprise saying you cannot wait and that you have to pay now. After that's done, they will ask for more information listed on the P100 form such as your passport, birth certificate, cv, employment letters, a copy of your credit card, bank statements, and so on and then they ask to charge you 5000 more pounds! They don't provide any proof or documentation that they are indeed working on your profile or your visa.

They will ask and ask for your personal information and documentation and keep asking to charge you more without giving actual advice about the visa. When you do cancel and ask for a refund, they will ghost you and stop responding to your emails and calls. Steer clear!

I have already contacted the authorities and will change my passport and ID cards to avoid identity theft.

Tip for consumers:
They have two websites which are www.ukgic.com and www.ukgvs.com. They are not registered businesses in the UK. Please stay away, for your own good.

UK skilled migration - Forced to make downpayment, threatened me to appeal in court if payment not done. They are very expensive. After inquiring with different agencies I found that threat of putting the case to appellate in case of not activating the application or closing the application, is completely a fraud. Also the agent told me that age of 47yrs is max age for applying for UK skilled migration. He forced that you are running out of time, so apply now and pay now. He forced me to pay otherwise I will have to go to courts in UK to again activate my application.
On asking them later to refund 200 GBP of advance they are not giving the money back inspite of not taking any services from them.
Attaching payment snapshot of 2775.81 SEK

They called on Sunday, pushed me to pay a large sum over the phone immediately, have barely any social media presence and all the positive reviews on this site come from people who've all reviewed the same exact sites.

UKGIC obtain funds through misleading and fraudulent information. They Lie to you just to secure your business.

Tip for consumers:
It would have been helpful to know they were not an accredited immigration company and that they were filled with liars and they scam people out of money.

When I googled how to get a VISA what first came into my eyes was this Website, anyhow at the top of the results (it pays to be sponsored). Entered my contact details and although was Sunday very shortly after got a call from a guy suposed to be an english clergyman. We talked about my plans to moving there and and my need to get first a VISA. As a top google website I thought to be speaking to an UK government agency. What a mistake! Therefore, I wanted to start with the formalities of geting that VISA. I am now further than ever of geting it because I came across with this company, whose services for me weren't useful at first as they just included information on what VISA can you apply for and other information you can easily get by researching through google. It is to be clear that by booking their services you just get INFORMATION about the Visa itself, not the VISA itself.

I found to be nice the ambiguous and consenting words of the portuguese guy at the other side of the phone (because it is a company seeding in Portugal) as they as sellers know how to appeal to people emotions to make their emotions book a service or buy a product. So I certainly got touched from his compliment about my dreams because I needed it, and ended up giving my card details without geting informed about the use of that money. A few days later got again called from them and told me that their service just included google information about the Visas I can apply for and the governments I have to face to send my documents thereof. By then I was prudent enough to considering canceling as soon as posible the service itself to get back the maximum ammount of money.

So I got called back for the "step 2" and quickly cut off with the purpose of the incoming call by exposing my panic mind about canceling the service. The guy at the other side reacts trying to get indignant and tell me that just "excepcionally" after "talking with his boss" is posible to refund 120 Pounds back.

I never got that money back, which was supposed to pail down the pain of losing a quite easy earnt money. That fact is as painful as I don't earn any money as easily as before anymore. "Easily earnt money, easily spent money"

I informed the company I did not got any refund whatsoever and the person dealing with me called by my request to the "financial deparment". The thing is that now I am supposed to do something else as writing this review trying to carry on and forget my lost money but I wrote it as their broke the either side signed document about the refund.

Tip for consumers:
They just give information.

This is a scamming call center. The company does not have a registration number on an official bank account on its website.
