Immigration advice

Do you need support with matters related to immigration?

Immigration law and procedure is very complex. Making mistakes can be costly, so it is always worth getting advice before taking any action.

We provide high quality, reliable, accessible legal advice. We are dependable advocates and we respond to the needs of our community.

We offer advice, information, and casework on immigration matters. We are regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (formerly the OISC) to Level 3.

Please contact reception to book an appointment with an Immigration Advisor.

Please note: We have limited capacity and cannot always take on cases, even if the case falls within the things listed under ‘What we can help with’, below.

E-Visas

We give advice on e-Visas every Wednesday from 1pm – 3pm at our office. This is a drop-in so you don’t need an appointment.  See here.
