How to make an appointment for asylum advice

Once you have read the leaflet, and if you think you have a claim for asylum, make an appointment to come to our office to see one of our advisers. We will be able to give you advice on:

  • how to make a claim for asylum and what information you require;
  • how to get to Croydon, in London, to make your claim for asylum;
  • how to find a legal representative who will help you with your asylum claim.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: As of the 8 July 2011, the Immigration Advisory Service (IAS) is closed. Their clients are advised not to go to their office for advice. Our legal representative lists will be updated shortly.  See the IAS website for urgent advice for their clients
