We offer guidance for LGBTQ+ people who are in the UK, and going through the asylum system, or those who want to make an immigration application to live with their partner in the UK.  

If you need help finding a lawyer, see the list below. Please be aware that not all the firms handle asylum applications. 

If you can’t afford a lawyer to assist with your asylum claim, you are likely be eligible to get free help. This is called legal aid. Click below to see if you are eligible for legal aid.
