Asylum Protection
Applications for asylum, humanitarian protection, discretionary leave, or protection from trafficking are amongst the most delicate applications as they involve a serious risk to life and a need to be protected from the unthinkable.
At SMA, we understand the importance of dealing with these applications properly from the very beginning. What is said during the course of an asylum interview needs to be checked once a transcript is received. SMA often sees situations where clients misunderstood the question or where the interviewer incorrectly recorded the answer. At SMA, we deal with such issues before they become a problem by immediately contacting the Home Office to correct their records. This can often by the difference between a winning and losing an asylum appeal.

Often, the Home Office will cancel a civil penalty or significantly reduce the amount you are charged and there will be no need to go to court. However, there are exceptions to the norm. In the event your civil penalty case does proceed to a full civil trial, your business’s reputation, finances and future could well be on the line and we understand the importance of ensuring that cases are prepared in such a way as to maximise the prospects of success by carefully considering the Immigration Rules, statutory defences and the Secretary of State’s policy and published guidance.
Asylum and protection claims involve various stages and it is crucial that your case is prepared in such a thorough way that the Home Office or a Judge is able to see how each piece of evidence fits the puzzle.
If you have a reason to fear returning to your home country and want to apply for asylum / protection in the United Kingdom or, if you have had your claim refused and want to understand what your next steps are to challenge the Home Office’s decision, please get in touch and a member of our experienced team will help you.
