Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens if my Appeal is Successful?
What Happens if my Appeal fails?
In cases where no further appeals are possible and you do not wish to leave voluntarily, the Home Office will make arrangements for your removal from the country. Once removed from the UK, you will not be allowed to return to the country for 10 years.
Being taken into Detention
If there is a short time-frame before removal or if the authorities suspect that someone may attempt to avoid deportation, they may be taken to a detention center. This can happen at any time, except for individuals who are pregnant or exempt due to their mental health condition. It is essential to ensure that you have all your necessary documents with you, such as copies of your applications and refusal decisions.
While in a deportation center, you still have certain rights, including the right to have visitors, make phone calls, use the Internet, and communicate with the outside world. Additionally, you may have the opportunity to apply for bail to secure your release.
What are the Conditions of Bail for Immigration Detainees?
To apply for bail, you must have spent at least seven days in detention. If your application is successful, you will be granted "release on bail," which allows you to leave the immigration removal center.
If you have friends or relatives who are currently facing detention, our experienced immigration lawyers can provide the support and guidance needed to submit a bail application. While we cannot guarantee the outcome of the application, we are dedicated to offering our best advice and assistance to ensure that the case is handled with care.
