WHAT WE OFFER

Asylum appeals

If your application for asylum is refused you have the right to appeal. This will give you the chance to provide new information that was not previously available.

Refugee status, humanitarian protection & discretionary leave

Any person who fears persecution in their country of origin on grounds specified in the Refugee Convention can apply for asylum in the UK. A person who cannot qualify for refugee status in an asylum claim can still qualify for Humanitarian Protection due to need for protection from ill-treatment and torture in his country of origin.

Fresh UK asylum claims

Asylum is protection given to anyone who is fleeing persecution in their own country. It is given under the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. To be recognised as a refugee, you must have left your country and be unable to go back because you have a well-founded fear of persecution.

Family reunion

The family members of a refugee or a person with humanitarian protection leave can apply for family reunion to join them in the UK.

If you are a recognised refugee or have been given humanitarian protection in the UK, UKVI allows you to be reunited with your family members although exceptional case funding may have to be applied for.
