Your Options After an Asylum Refusal

The Home Office refuses many asylum claims — often for reasons that can be challenged. Refusal letters frequently contain legally flawed credibility findings, misapplication of country guidance, or failure to properly weigh the available evidence.

At Norman Lawson & Co., we scrutinise every Home Office refusal letter, identify arguable grounds, and advise on the strongest available route — appeal, fresh claim, or judicial review.

⚠️ Act immediately. Asylum appeal deadlines are usually 14 days from the date of the refusal notice. Legal aid is available. Call us now on 0141 275 4844.

State Protection

We apply the Horvath standard and country guidance to challenge claims that sufficient state protection is available in your home country.
