Human Rights & Private Life
RakLAW Solicitors advise on Article 8, private life, family life, 10-year partner and parent routes, exceptional circumstances and fee waiver applications.
About Human Rights & Private Life
RakLAW Solicitors provides clear, practical advice for people who need to make an immigration application based on their human rights, private life or family life in the UK. Our human rights immigration solicitors and lawyers can assist with Article 8 applications and representations, Private Life applications, human-rights-based family life cases, 10-year partner and parent routes, cases involving children, exceptional circumstances and eligible fee waiver applications. Human rights immigration cases depend on the facts of each person's situation. Having family members, relationships or a long period of residence in the UK does not automatically create a right to enter or remain. The correct route, legal test and supporting evidence must be considered carefully.
Who this is for
- People in the UK, families and affected children whose immigration position may depend on private life, family life or other Article 8 considerations
- Families relying on private or family life in the UK

Article 8 Family and Private Life
Article 8 of the European Convention protects your right to family and private life.

Private Life Visa
The private life route allows certain people to apply for leave to remain in the UK based on the life they have built here, rather than on family ties or work.
