Our area of work involves advice and representation for everyone who is not a British citizen. It also includes help for British citizens who have non-British families.
We help people to settle in the UK and help to reunite families where a partner or a parent is abroad. We also help people who are already here and who are victims of violence and or exploitation.
We support people to make applications to the Home Office and advise them on appeals to Tribunals and Courts. We explain in advance, potential fees and costs to clients before they decide to act.
We work with vulnerable refugees from Ukraine, Syria and Afghanistan to help them settle in the UK and with migrant communities from European Union, southeast Asia and west Africa.
Our work makes a fundamental difference to our client’s lives.
For example, some of our clients are excluded from mainstream society because of their immigration status. Their lack of rights makes them vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. A key feature of our work is to help them become legally resident in the UK. This improves their ability to live, work and access rights. It helps their children become British citizens and enjoy the rights and freedoms that go with that.
We help children whose parents are deemed illegal to settle safely in the UK so that the family can develop securely without fear of deportation and we support people to make decisions on whether they wish to migrate to the UK and when and how this is possible.
