Getting immigration advice

The Law Centre specialises in a range of immigration law issues. We are able to advise anyone living in Coventry. The Law Centre has held the Legal Services Commission's 'Quality Mark' at the Specialist Help level for immigration law since March 1999.

We offer a free telephone advice session on immigration law on Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 10.00 a.m. and 12.00 noon. The telephone number is 7625 3168. This telephone service is staffed by one of our two specialist immigration advisors. We are happy to give advice over the telephone or to take on cases that need our specialist advocacy and representation skills. But please note that we will only advise you if you live in Coventry.

If you think that you will need an appointment or representation then it is best to call the advice line first. This will ensure that you get an appointment at the right time and that the relevant information is obtained at the start. Often we are able to provide all the information that you need over the telephone and will back this up with relevant leaflets and letters so that you understand the advice that you have been given. We are not able to offer assistance in completing basic visitor, visa, nationality or settlement forms, other than providing advice on these over the telephone.

Our advisers are particular experts in representation and advocacy before the Immigration Adjudicator and at Immigration Appeal Tribunals. The Law Centre has also written a range leaflets on immigration issues. These can be downloaded from this web site or collected from the Law Centre.

In particular we offer advice and representation across the whole range of immigration, nationality and asylum matters. This includes visitors, students, family applications and settlement. In asylum matters we cover the whole range of law applicable to this. We advise and assist with applications, interviews, detention, tribunals and appeals.

Some of our staff can speak local community languages. We can obtain interpreters when necessary.
