About the Legal Advice Clinic
The clinic was established by our Policy and Public Affairs Officer, Mariam Bafo, in collaboration with our legal partner, Coram. It is led by Coram's Senior Outreach Solicitor, Smita Bajaria.
This clinic provides an opportunity for young people who have lived in the UK since childhood and are seeking to regularise their immigration status, as well as for young adults with Limited Leave to Remain who are applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain. Participants can engage in one-on-one sessions to address any questions they may have about applying for or renewing their immigration status.
Who is eligible?
- Young people aged 16-25 who have lived in the UK since childhood and are seeking to regularise their immigration status.
- Young people who have questions about their immigration status and want to find out more about their current situation.
- Young adults with Limited Leave to Remain who are applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) after 5 years of holding continuous limited leave in the UK.
You can view our video 'Lizzie, Lanre, and Mary’s Story' to learn more about the limited leave to remain eligibility criteria for children and over 18s; plus the 2022 rule change, which halved the time those with limited leave to remain must wait before being eligible for permanent settlement in the UK.
