Immigration law is technical and changes often, and the consequences of getting it wrong are serious. A barrister can advise on visa and settlement applications, refusals and appeals, human rights and family claims, and asylum, and can represent you before the First-tier and Upper Tribunals.
A barrister will explain the rules that apply, the evidence you need, and the realistic prospects, and can prepare and argue an appeal. Through Direct Access you can instruct a barrister directly, without going through a solicitor first.
Barristers are regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
