Testimonials

"I was directed to ICSSA by the UK school which we had chosen for our son, aged 14. We found the staff to be friendly and approachable and nothing was too much trouble. They were prompt to respond to requests for information, and it was really useful to be able to talk to someone in my own language. As a family, we felt reassured that things were being handled by experienced professionals and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. I would have no hesitation in recommending ICSSA."

"We switched to ICSSA having started to work with a different company. The previous organisation did not offer us the complete package and we found the whole process very difficult to navigate. We contacted the school to try and get help and they suggested we could contact ICSSA and we are so glad that we took the decision! There was a big difference in the way that our case was managed and we felt as though the advisor from ICSSA held our hands the whole way through, offering support and advice whenever necessary."

"Working with ICSSA provides us with diligent support through the visa application process for our parents and the school. The staff at ICSSA are approachable, prompt to respond and knowledgeable on all visa and immigration matters."
