Asylum

If you have had to leave your country because you fear persecution because of your heritage or beliefs, you can apply for asylum in the UK.

An asylum claim can only be considered after someone has entered the UK and the asylum seeker is expected to claim at the earliest opportunity.

To succeed with a claim, an asylum claimant must be able to show that there is a real risk that they would be persecuted in their home country, either by the government, or non-government agents and that the government would not offer them protection against persecution.

Claimants must be able to demonstrate persecution for any of the following reasons:

• Race
• Religion
• Political opinion
• Nationality
• Membership of a particular social group

Here at Knightsbridge Solicitors, we understand that the asylum process can be complicated and confusing. That is why we have a team of experts ready to guide and support you whether you have already claimed asylum, are thinking about doing so, or even just want to know your rights if you have been granted asylum and your options if you have been refused.

We have a diverse team of immigration solicitors who speak a variety of languages, as well as access to a large network of translators to accommodate almost all languages and dialects. This means we can offer you our high-quality services in a language you understand.

You may be in a position where you do not qualify for asylum but need to stay in the UK to protect your human rights. In this case, our human rights lawyers will examine your case and fight to get you the right to stay in the UK until you can return home.

If you are facing deportation, you can contact us 24-hours a day via our emergency hotline on 07960960967. A solicitor will then provide advice and guidance on your rights and how best to proceed.
