Start the eligibility checkContact usWho we are
Noble Rose Immigration Service Ltd is a Cambridge-based immigration advice practice led by its principal, Bill Zahr. We help individuals, families, and companies with applications that sit within the Immigration Rules, from first visas to settlement and citizenship. Bill previously worked as an immigration adviser and caseworker at Immigration Advice Service in London, and now runs Noble Rose as a sole practitioner. That means you deal with the person who advises you conducts your legal casework and represents you before the Home Office, from first call to final decision.
Our approach is simple. We tell you plainly whether you are likely to qualify, what the risks are and what it will cost, before you pay the Home Office fee.
What regulation means for you
In the UK, anyone giving immigration advice must be authorised. Noble Rose is regulated by the IAA at Level 1, which means:
We are on a public register that you can check using our registration number, F202535916;
We must meet professional standards on competence, conduct and client care;
We must hold professional indemnity insurance;
You have a route to complain if something goes wrong, first to us and then to the regulator.
Being regulated at Level 1 also sets clear limits. We handle straightforward and complex applications within the Immigration Rules. Read more in solicitor or IAA adviser.

Meeting us in Cambridge
Our office is at Allia Future Business Centre, Kings Hedges Road, Cambridge CB4 2HY. You are welcome to meet us there by appointment. We also work by phone, video call and email, which is how most of our clients prefer to deal with us, whether they are in Cambridge, elsewhere in the UK or abroad.
If you are searching for an immigration adviser near you, you do not have to live in Cambridge to use us. Our Level 1 authorisation covers the type of work, not where the client is.
Working with clients overseas
Many of our clients live outside the UK, including in the United States, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, the UAE, Canada and Australia. We advise sponsors, applicants and families wherever they are, and we arrange calls to suit time zones. We never ask you to pay for a job offer or a guaranteed visa, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
What we do not do
We do not guarantee outcomes. We do not make claims about success rates. We will not help with a dishonest application.
