UK Asylum Application: Seeking Protection in the UK

If you fear persecution in your home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership of a particular social group, you may apply for asylum in the UK.

At ORBIT Legal Consultancy, we provide clear guidance on the asylum process, helping you understand each stage—from making your initial claim to preparing for interviews and accessing support—so you can navigate this complex journey with confidence.

An asylum application is a request for protection in the UK if you fear persecution in your home country due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership of a particular social group.

At IAA Level 1, advisers can only give basic guidance on the process, not handle full asylum claims.

 

Process (Initial Stage):

1. Claim asylum – at port of entry or Asylum Intake Unit.
2. Screening interview – ID, fingerprints, short reasons; issued Asylum Registration Card (ARC).
3. Asylum support – if destitute, apply for housing and weekly allowance.
4. Caseworker assigned – later you’ll have a substantive interview
