Immigration & Asylum Advice

Many people who come to us have moved to the UK from another country and are trying to make sense of an unfamiliar system. We provide clear general information about immigration status, asylum claims and Home Office correspondence, and help people work out what to do next.

What we can help with

Typical support

  • Understanding your current immigration status and what it allows
  • General information about how asylum claims are usually handled
  • Making sense of Home Office letters, interviews and deadlines
  • Gathering documents and preparing questions before an appointment
  • Referrals to accredited immigration advisers where representation is needed

How the process usually runs

  1. 01

    Initial enquiry

    Tell us briefly what stage you are at and what letters you have received.

  2. 02

    Information session

    We explain the general position, the usual timescales and the options people commonly have.

  3. 03

    Next steps

    You leave with written notes and, where required, a referral to a regulated adviser.

We provide general information and practical support rather than advice on your individual circumstances. Where a matter needs regulated or specialist representation, we will tell you and help you find it.

Not sure where to start?

Tell us briefly what you are dealing with. We will explain the general position and, if you need a specialist, help you find one.
