Defending Home Office Deportation Orders & Removal Orders
Deportation and Removal from the UK are two methods the UK Border Agency may use to force a person leave the UK. Most of the clients that we represent in UKBA deportation or removal proceedings are in UKBA Immigration Removal Centres for one of three reasons: (1) a criminal conviction or arrest, (2) overstaying in the UK or (3) refusal of an immigration application that they submitted without the assistance of a competent solicitor.
Deportation is regulated by certain sections of the Immigration Act 1971 and administrative removal is regulated by the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. Deportation orders can be challenged if it is contrary to the United Kingdom’s obligations under the Refugee Convention or Human Rights / ECHR. Regard may also be had to other relevant factors which constitute exceptional circumstances. Administrative Removal can be prevented if it would be contrary to the United Kingdom’s obligations under the Convention and Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees or under the Human Rights Convention.

We Provide a Bespoke UK Immigration Service
We are a UK Solicitors law firm and are fully authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and as a professional law firm are completely exempt from requiring authorisation by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC). Many businesses offering immigration services are only OISC regulated and as such are not professional legal organisations such as Solicitors firms or Barristers’ chambers. OISC businesses are not allowed to do legal work before the Courts such as Judicial Review or statutory challenges of Home Office decisions. Also as a professional organisation our policy is not to employ sales staff to give you “advice” (all our telephone consultations are handled by lawyers). We are often instructed at immigration appeal stages in cases that ‘immigration businesses’ have dealt with and which were clearly hopeless applications at the outset. When you instruct us, qualified immigration solicitors or immigration barristers work on your case from the outset when it matters the most in order to ensure no time and money is wasted and more importantly that no mistakes are made.

IMMIGRATION DEADLINES – WARNING
UKVI (part of the UK Home Office) set very strict deadlines which must be complied with otherwise your UK immigration rights will become severely limited. You should submit an application as soon as possible e.g. 28 days before the expiry of a UK Visa and should seek specific legal advice about your Visa or right to remain or appeal at the earliest opportunity so that you understand the time you have left. Delay in making an application or taking advice can be fatal. If you have a refusal letter from the Home Office carefully note the short deadlines stated therein (it may be 14 days). Such deadlines run from the date of the letter so you may have less than 10 days to take action. Late appeals can lead to you being forced to make an out of country UK Visa application and can affect the prospects of success.
