Humanitarian Protection Claims
Abbott and Harris Solicitors can help you with Humanitarian Assistance legal advice if you cannot seek asylum upon arriving in the United Kingdom. However, in that case, you must be aware that you will face severe repercussions if you return to your home country.
We are here to assist you with your Humanitarian Protection Claims and will guide you on how to proceed in this situation. Some of the reasons people apply for asylum include facing the death penalty, illegal slaughter, persecution on the basis of religious, political, racial differences.
Eligibility Requirements
The Home Office will consider providing Humanitarian Protection to the following individuals:
- Execution or death penalty if they return to their home country
- Verification from the home country if the execution is on the statue books pertaining to the offence in question
- Subject to unlawful killing by the home country or risk of possible assassination exists in their home country
- Subject would endure inhuman treatment, resulting in severe torture if they return to their home country
Serious criminals such as terrorists or war criminals are a danger to national security. People who are recognised as having bad character, associations, or conduct will not qualify for Humanitarian Protection. If that individual cannot be removed, they will be excluded from Humanitarian Protection and offered less favourable conditions to remain in the United Kingdom.
Duration of Humanitarian Protection
Home Office grants Humanitarian Protection for at least three years. Upon ending the three years and following an active report, Home Office determines if they need to extend their visit to the United Kingdom or leave immediately. In most cases, Home Office may award a person Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). However, if the person no longer wants Humanitarian Protection, returning to their motherland and leaving the United Kingdom is secure.
Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)
Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) means Permanent Residency in the United Kingdom. The visa is usually awarded to somebody who has manifested their loyalty to the United Kingdom while in the land on a provisional visa.
People living in the United Kingdom on an Indefinite Leave can apply for ILR if they succeed to live in the country for five years to leave or reside in the United Kingdom as per Humanitarian Protection since August 30, 2005.
Exception
Applicants will not qualify to get Humanitarian Protection under the following conditions:
- There are serious grounds for contemplating they have perpetrated a war crime, an offence against peace, a violation against humanity, or another evil pit in nature.
- Severe grounds or proof for contemplating they are a danger to the community or accountable for stimulating or convincing others to commit illegal acts.
- If the appellants have a criminal record outside the United Kingdom and crimes committed in the UK, they would be punishable.
Family Members
Relatives of the appellant awarded Humanitarian Protection in the country can appeal to connect them in the UK. The acceptability limitations for family members are:
- Age Under 18
- Grandparents
- Parents
- Children aged 18 or over
- Civil partners
- Wives
- Unmarried partner
Relatives can only join their family members having Humanitarian Protection to stay in the United Kingdom. If they can verify, they were together before the appellant fled to another country.
Apart from appealing for Humanitarian Protection to live in the United Kingdom for a particular time period, applicants can also apply for protection under Article 3 based on medical conditions, the circumstance of the country, and prison conditions.
People who are stateless or have a fear of Trafficking can also apply to stay in the UK. Abbott and Harris Solicitors can aid you to file for it if you think you are eligible. You must meet all the other eligibility specifications. Please call us on 0203 755 2858 or send an email to Abbott and Harris Solicitors for an initial assessment to determine your eligibility.
