Asylum
|
Asylum Law is one of the major specialities of Immigration and Asylum Law Practice.
This area of law is mostly observed under the Human Rights Law (HRL) here in UK
Asylum Applications
The British Government have tightened the policies regarding the acceptance of Asylum Applications; but the people who have not broken the immigration rules and have the genuine reasons and grounds can apply for Asylum applications
The Process: Details of applying for asylum and how claims are processed are available from Nationwide solicitors.
Making a claim: If you or someone you know wishes to claim asylum in the UK, and has not already done so at the port of entry, then they must visit us at Nationwide Solicitors as soon as possible.
ARC cards: Asylum seekers who have completed screening but nevertheless do not have an ARC card should contact us for immediate urgent advice.
Travel to further UKBA interviews and hearings: Those asylum seekers on UKBA asylum support should receive travel warrants to attend interviews at the Home Office or for themselves and witnesses to attend appeal hearings to give evidence. Requests for tickets or for reimbursement of travel expenses if already incurred can also be made on your behalf by Nationwide Solicitors you need to forward to us copy of notice of hearing/interview and original ticket/receipt for any travel costs if already incurred for a past interview etc.
Reporting:
Most asylum seekers report weekly or monthly to a local reporting centre or police station.
The costs of this are the responsibility of the UKBA Reporting Centre or the Immigration Office which deals with reporting. Reporting costs are only paid if the place where the asylum seeker reports is more than three miles away from where they live. The asylum seeker needs to request these costs when they attend and show proof of the costs of travel each time they attend.
The Home office policy on expenses for reporting events can be found on their website.
Reporting conditions can be varied if the reporting centre agrees. We at Nationwide Solicitors can make this request on your behalf. Asylum seekers who have been subject to torture may have their reporting waived, reduced or may report by telephone if agreed by UKBA. Medical evidence of why reporting adverrsely affects the individual is usually requested, though technically the mere fact that torture is raised or has some basic proof ought to be enough. If an asylum seeker is being assessed by the Medical Foundation, then this should usually be accepted as sufficient.
