UKVI can help immigrants with legal problems related to their immigration status with information and guidance on visa applications, immigration rules, and eligibility criteria.
Although the UKVI can support to individuals facing deportation or removal from the UK, it is primarily responsible for enforcing UK immigration laws, rather than providing legal advice or representation.
If you are an immigrant who is facing legal problems related to your immigration status or right to work in the UK, you may need to seek advice and assistance from a legal service or charity.
One such charity offering support to immigrants is the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI), which helps immigrants understand their rights related to immigration and offers support and advice on issues such as asylum, deportation, and right to work.
