A solicitor has been found guilty of providing unregulated immigration advice and sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. Flora Magdaline Mendes of Luton, pretended she was a regulated solicitor but had, in fact, been suspended by the SRA in January 2013.

It is a criminal offence for a person to provide immigration advice or services in the UK unless their organisation is regulated by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) or is otherwise covered by the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. Members of certain professional bodies may give immigration advice without registering with OISC.
