Introduction
Seeking asylum can be a daunting and complex process. At AMH, our experienced team of asylum solicitors is dedicated to providing expert legal assistance to those in need of protection. Whether you are fleeing persecution, violence, or other forms of harm, we are here to help you navigate the asylum process with compassion and professionalism.
What is Asylum?
Asylum is a form of international protection given by a country to foreign nationals who have fled their own country due to fear of persecution. This persecution can be based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Asylum seekers are individuals who have arrived in the country and applied for asylum but are waiting for their claim to be processed.

Our Services
Initial Consultation
During the initial consultation, our solicitors will assess your situation and provide you with an overview of the asylum process. We will discuss your reasons for seeking asylum, review any evidence you have, and advise you on the next steps. This consultation is a crucial first step in building a strong asylum claim.
Preparing Your Asylum Claim
Gathering Evidence
One of the most important aspects of an asylum claim is the evidence that supports your fear of persecution. Our solicitors will assist you in gathering and organising relevant evidence, such as:
- Personal statements
- Witness statements
- Medical reports
- Country of origin information
- Documentation of past persecution
Drafting Your Asylum Application
We will help you draft a comprehensive and compelling asylum application. This includes detailing your personal story, the reasons for your fear of persecution, and any supporting evidence. Our goal is to present a clear and persuasive case to the Home Office.
Interview Preparation
As part of the asylum process, you will be required to attend an asylum interview with a Home Office caseworker. This interview is a critical opportunity to present your case and explain why you are seeking asylum. Our solicitors will provide you with thorough preparation, including:
- Explaining the interview process
- Reviewing potential questions
- Conducting mock interviews
- Advising on how to effectively communicate your story
Representing You at the Asylum Interview
Our solicitors can attend the asylum interview with you to provide support and ensure that the interview is conducted fairly. We will be there to address any issues that arise and to advocate on your behalf.
Appeals and Judicial Reviews
If your asylum claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. Our solicitors are experienced in handling asylum appeals and judicial reviews. We will thoroughly review the reasons for the denial, gather additional evidence if necessary, and represent you at the appeal hearing. Our goal is to overturn the denial and secure the protection you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
To be eligible for asylum, you must demonstrate that you have a well-founded fear of persecution based on one or more of the following grounds:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Membership in a particular social group
- Political opinion
- Anything else that puts you at risk as a consequence of the social, cultural, religious or political situation in your country, such as your gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
The duration of the asylum process can vary significantly. It typically involves several stages, including the initial application, the asylum interview, and a decision from the Home Office. In some cases, the process can take several months to over a year.
Those claiming asylum in the UK, will be expected to provide the following documents, if they have them for both themselves or any dependents:
- Passports and travel documents
- Police registration certificates
- ID documents
- Anything else you believe that could help your claim
Asylum seekers are generally not allowed to work while their claim is being processed. However, if you have been waiting for a decision on your claim for more than 12 months, you may be eligible to apply for permission to work.
If your asylum claim is refused, you have the right to appeal the decision. Our solicitors can assist you in preparing and presenting your appeal. If the appeal is also unsuccessful, we can explore other legal options, such as judicial reviews or applying for humanitarian protection.
If you fail to appeal any Home Office decision within the stipulated period or if your appeal is unsuccessful you will need to leave the UK. In this situation, you can leave by yourself and the UK Government may assist you in your return or you may be forced to leave. The latter can mean that you will be detained without warning at an immigration removal centre before being removed from the UK.
If you are granted asylum, you may be able to apply for your immediate family members (spouse and children under 18) to join you in the UK under the family reunion provisions. Our solicitors can assist you with the family reunion application process.
