Immigration Lawyers

You may wish to hire an Immigration Lawyer to advise on your case. The lawyers listed below are known by the International Student Support Office / have been used by our students in the past. However, we cannot recommend any particular lawyer; you should check that they are either members of ILPA (Immigration Law Practitioners Association) or have OISC registration (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) – look for the logo:

If you make any appointments to meet with an immigration solicitor, always check whether you will have to pay and how much the charge will be.

You can also choose an immigration specialist from the Immigration Law Practitioners Association website: www.ilpa.org.uk and click on 'Directory'.
