Challenging a Home Office decision for an LGBT asylum seeker. Our client, a young man from a South Asian Islamic country, came to the UK on a student visa. Because of his sexuality, he feared persecution if he returned home and claimed asylum. His claim was refused while represented by another firm, leaving him vulnerable, anxious, and unsure where to turn.

He instructed our firm to take over his case from his previous representative and lodge an appeal. We obtained his full file, carried out a detailed review, and worked closely with him to rebuild trust and strengthen his evidence. Our team gathered new supporting documents and prepared a comprehensive appeal bundle, highlighting the risks he would face if sent back to his country.

We represented him before the First-tier Tribunal, where the immigration judge accepted his claim as genuine. His appeal was allowed, and the Home Office granted him five years of refugee status in the UK.
Our client was overjoyed and relieved. This outcome gave him the safety and freedom to live openly and without fear.

This case shows our firm’s commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals and fighting for justice—even after an initial refusal by the Home Office.
