Summary of our Asylum Services

Asylum is a form of protection which allows individuals to remain in the United Kingdom provided that they meet the criteria for being accepted as refugees, and they are not barred for any other reason.

In order to be considered a refugee, a person who arrives in the United Kingdom has to demonstrate that they are unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin, because they fear persecution in their homeland for reasons of; race, religion, and nationality or for being a member of a particular social or political group.

Appeals & Judicial Review

Our Immigration Solicitors can assist you in relation to your immigration appeal against the Home Office or Entry Clearance Officer's immigration decision if your application for leave to enter (entry clearance/visa) or leave to remain (application to the Home Office for extension of stay) has been refused. To find out whether or not there are good prospects of success if you appeal to challenge the immigration decision, you can arrange an appointment to discuss your immigration matter face to face with one of our Immigration Caseworkers who will advise you about the chances of success in your appeal.
