It depends on the culture of the realm you're in too. I know Westmoor and OG both have a long history of raising/recognizing advies as nobility. Hell, one even became Queen of OG for awhile. The CoH even recognizes the worth of Advies as Advies for they are the first line of defense for Humanity against the forces of Darkness.
Others? Others treat advies like !@#$. It's a shame, but makes sense from an IC standpoint.
