Article 8 Family and Private Life
About Article 8 Family and Private Life
Article 8 of the European Convention protects your right to family and private life. In immigration terms, it can support an application for leave where you have a genuine relationship with a partner or child in the UK, or where you have built up significant private life ties here over time. The Home Office applies its own rules first, and Article 8 outside the rules where there are exceptional circumstances. RakLAW assesses both routes, builds a complete picture of your ties, and presents your case with care.
