HOW DO UISMS MANAGE MY IMMIGRATION STATUS?
We
manage your immigration status through the information provided by you

are currently in under the UK Immigration Rules, we shall allocate your
status to a category that will enable us to effectively manage your
immigration status until you have acquired a British citizenship, more about
this is contained in our home page.
