Legal Migration User Experience Advisory Group
The Legal Migration User Experience Advisory Group was established in 2023, to bring together a broader range of users of the UK immigration system and those supporting applicants through the immigration system to provide constructive advice, to challenge and to offer perspectives on key issues to support the Home Office in transforming the legal migration system.
This advisory group also has a specific interest in how transformation of the legal migration system may impact vulnerable migrants, including those with protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010, including helping to identify barriers to access to products, safeguarding issues and how we can best address them.

Thematic Discussion Group
From January 2023, members of all our legal migration advisory groups, along with other stakeholders with an interest, are invited to thematic meetings.
Information or questions on which the Home Office is seeking input, regarding a specific legal migration theme or delivery priority, are normally shared with stakeholders in advance.
Members are asked to provide insight and feedback on the specific issues at the meeting.
