Immigration Advice Service

If you're an RCN member and are already in the UK, you can get free, confidential support and assistance on immigration issues.

What we can advise you on:

• The Health and Care visa (formally called the Tier 2 (General) visa)
• Student visas
• Domestic Violence and Immigration Applications
• Changing or extending your current visa
• Applications based on marriage/civil partnership
• European Settled Status Scheme Applications
• British citizenship
• Human Rights Claims (10 years route to settlement)
• Refugee Settlement Applications
• Appeals and Administrative Reviews
• Visa Fee waiver applications

We do not provide advice and assistance with asylum applications. We can assist with finding accredited advisors who will be able to assist with asylum claims.
