Human Rights

The Human Rights category in UK immigration law allows individuals to seek permission to remain in the UK based on their fundamental rights, as protected by the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This category often applies to people facing risks such as torture, inhuman treatment, or persecution in their home countries. It also includes cases involving the right to family or private life under Article 8 of the ECHR. Applicants must provide strong evidence to demonstrate that removal from the UK would violate their human rights. These applications are assessed carefully, considering the individual’s personal circumstances. While successful applicants may be granted leave to remain, these cases are complex and often require legal representation. The right to appeal may apply if an application is refused.
