UKBA to be scrapped

26 March 2013 McGill & Co Solicitors Immigration

The Home Secretary has today announced that she has accepted that the UKBA must go as it's work is simply not good enough. MPs criticised the border agency in a report published on Monday, describing it as "not fit for purpose".

We had a relatively complex application but McGill & Co was there every step of the way, particularly in times of emergency.
