​

Seek Protection in the UK with Expert Legal Support

If you are fleeing persecution and seeking asylum in the UK, our experienced UK immigration lawyers can provide expert guidance to help you navigate the complex asylum application process.

 

Asylum and Humanitarian Protection in the UK

If you fear persecution, serious harm, or threats to your life or freedom in your home country, you may be able to claim asylum in the UK or seek Humanitarian Protection. These applications are complex and evidence-heavy, and the way your claim is prepared can make a major difference to credibility, consistency, and outcomes.

 

Who this is for

Asylum or protection claims may be relevant if you are at risk because of:

• Race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership of a particular social group

• War, indiscriminate violence, or armed conflict

• Risk of torture, inhuman or degrading treatment

• Threats from non-state actors where your state cannot protect you

• Trafficking, domestic abuse, honour-based violence, or persecution based on sexual orientation/gender identity (case-specific)

​

Key stages of an asylum claim (UK)

Most claims involve:

1. Screening (basic details and why you cannot return)

2. Asylum registration / biometrics

3. Substantive interview (the main interview – detail and consistency matter)

4. Decision by the Home Office

5. If refused, you may have options including an appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, and in some cases further steps.

 

Evidence that strengthens a protection claim

We help you present evidence clearly and consistently, such as:

• A detailed witness statement (your narrative, timeline, risk on return)

• Medical evidence (injury scarring, PTSD/mental health – where relevant)

• Police/court documents (if genuine and verifiable)

• Threat evidence (messages, letters, reports)

• Country background evidence (objective material supporting risk)

• Evidence about internal relocation and why it is not safe/reasonable

• Evidence addressing credibility issues proactively

 

Common reasons asylum claims are refused

Refusals often come down to:

• Credibility concerns (inconsistencies, gaps, late disclosure)

• Not enough detail about risk on return

• The Home Office says you can relocate internally

• The Home Office says you can obtain state protection

• Weak or poorly-explained documentary evidence

• Failure to link your account to objective country evidence
