Immigration Advice and Representation
Click to fill in our Advice Form to access legal immigration advice or representation from GMIAU. We have limited capacity, but where we cannot take cases on, we will provide advice.

We support children and young people to be looked after, secure and safe in the UK. Refer to our legal services, All4One group, or to the KIND UK project.
Note: If you only need to refer a child to All4One, complete the form and add “Join the All4One group” when asked why GMIAU is needed.

We also help people affected by the Windrush Scandal.

We have very limited capacity.
We advise you also contact other legal aid and private solicitors – see buttons below. For data consent, please see our privacy policy.
Our services are always free of charge. Anyone asking you for money to help you access GMIAU services is a scammer.
