Forms for the solicitor and client in controlled legal representation (CLR) cases - immigration.
The electronic versions of the forms can be used on all occasions that a CW3 application is necessary for a controlled work matter in the immigration and asylum categories.
The electronic versions of the forms offer the following benefits:
