Directors of two law firms which generated £2.5m in fees from providing unregulated immigration advice have been fined almost £17,000 and ordered to pay £28,000 compensation.
Dan Romulus Dandes and Babbar Ali Jamil (directors at DDR Legal Services LLP) and Zia Bi (director of Burlow & Spencer Ltd) were sentenced yesterday at the Old Bailey.
The three were found guilty of providing unqualified immigration advice and/or services in April 2020 following a two-year investigation by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner.
One of the affected clients, it was reported, had to leave the UK permanently, while another paid £7,000 in expenses to contest a failed immigration application. Others had to travel to Shanghai or Bangkok to submit applications that were bound to be rejected and a couple who travelled for work were unable to leave the UK for two years while their documentation was sorted out.
