Claim Asylum in the UK

About Claim Asylum in the UK

If you fear persecution in your home country because of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group, you may be able to claim asylum in the UK. The process involves registering your claim, attending a screening interview, then a substantive interview, and submitting evidence to support your fear of return. Decisions can take time and the evidential standard is high. RakLAW prepares your statement, gathers country and expert evidence, and represents you throughout, so your account is heard fully and fairly.

Who this is for

  • People fleeing persecution, war or serious harm
  • Those at risk due to identity or beliefs
  • Individuals facing political or religious targeting
  • Asylum seekers needing legal representation

How RakLAW helps

  • Detailed witness statement and case theory preparation
  • Country of origin and expert evidence gathered
  • Representation at screening and substantive interviews
