Updates, commentary, training and advice

Our mission is to make good quality and clear information available to all those affected by immigration control: migrants themselves, their families, their lawyers and their judges. Immigration law has become very complex in the UK and changes very rapidly; we make it simple, or at least understandable. We provide blog posts, a load of training courses, a forum and we have partnered with Seraphus Solicitors to provide fixed price legal advice to members of the public.

The website was founded by barrister Colin Yeo in 2007 to keep himself up to date by writing about new developments, to think things through and to have some fun. Colin continues to edit the blog and is now helped by editor Josie Laidman and a team of expert contributors.
