We also run drop-ins and outreach surgeries where you can get initial advice regarding housing, welfare rights, energy debt, evisas, and resettlement matters.

External link opens in new window freemovement.org.uk
The Home Office often makes mistakes when exercising its immigration powers. The high appeal success rates bear testimony to this: as many as 50% of some categories of appeal are allowed. However, there are only some limited circumstances where it is possible to extract compensation from the Home Office by means of a court case.
Challenging your reporting conditions
If you have made an immigration application or have claimed asylum you may have to report (sign) at the Home Office at a specified time each week, two weeks, or month or sometimes less regularly than this.
