I’m in the UK Illegally, What Should I Do?

Have you got a question?

Enquire Now

If you are in the UK illegally there are options for you to either stay in the UK or make your way back to your home country safely.

If you wish to stay in the UK legally, you can apply for Leave to Remain. The application process for this can be stressful and complicated, therefore it is advised that you speak to a specialist Immigration Solicitor.

As you are already living in the UK illegally, your application will not be as straightforward as someone who is legally living here. This is why expert advice is of utmost importance, otherwise, you may make your current position worse.

What should I do first?

The first action that you should take is to speak with an immigration solicitor and tell them your situation.

This is confidential so you do not have to worry about authorities finding out about your situation.

The immigration team at Oracle Solicitors are highly experienced and have helped with a large number of applicants regularise their immigration status in the UK.

How can I stay in the UK legally?

Whether you can stay in the UK legally or not all depends on your circumstances.

Examples of circumstances where you can stay:

– Asylum seekers might be allowed to stay if they are in danger should they return to their home country.
– If you have dependent children in the UK.
– If you can prove your commitment to the UK when you were here legally.
– If you are aged between 18 and 24 and have lived more than half of your life in the UK.

The rules and requirements are complex and can often be daunting when applying to legally remain in the UK and that is why legal advice on the matter is of great importance.

What if I choose to stay in the UK illegally?

Staying in the UK as an illegal immigrant is a huge risk and it could throw your life into turmoil.

Why this is risky:

– You will not have the same rights as a British citizen: You can be denied health care, employers may exploit you and finding housing will be difficult.
– You can be detained and deported.
– You will constantly have the worry of being caught by authorities lingering over you.

The government have increasingly cracked down on illegal immigration and overstayers which is evident with the work of Border Police Force and internal Immigration Officers who carry out visits to properties and work establishments.

How can I leave the UK?

There are options available to you to assist you in leaving the UK.

The government can provide funds in some circumstances and our solicitors can advise if you are eligible for such funding.

You can also leave the UK voluntarily. To apply to leave voluntarily you will need to provide an address within the UK which you live at as well as an email address. Further information may be necessary and if it is not included, your application can be rejected.

How EU Citizens Can Apply For Settled Status After Brexit

Have you got a question?

Enquire Now

The Home Office has just announced the process in which EU citizens who are living in the UK and have arrived before 31 December 2020 can apply for settled status once Britain leaves the EU, and it’s easier and cheaper than you might think.

There will be a completely new system, with better support for applicants put in place to deal with the expected workload. This will make the transition as quick and simple as possible for everyone involved. I will explain below how the application process will work and what it requires of applicants.

Application Process

UK immigration minister, Caroline Nokes confirmed that if you are looking to apply for settled status, the application is just 3 key steps to confirm your right to live and work in the UK.

1. Prove your identity,
2. Show that you live in the UK and,
3. Declare that you have no serious criminal convictions.

The Home Office will also check the employment and benefit records held by the government so for many people, proof of residence will be automatic. This means that workers may find it easier to apply as the Home Office will have access to more data on them, but as long as you have evidence that you live in the UK then this process will still be quite straightforward.

It will be an online application that will be accessible through phones, tablets, laptops and computers which we will be able to assist you with.

What is the Cost?

The thing that most people are concerned about when it comes to application processes like this is the cost. Luckily, the price for EU citizens applying for settled status is £65 (£32.50 for a child under 16), no more than the cost of a British passport.

Moreover, those who already have a valid permanent residence or indefinite leave to remain will be able to exchange it for settled status for free.

When to Apply

The settlement scheme opens in a phased way later this year but will be fully open by 30 March 2019. The deadline for applications will be 30 June 2021. This limited window for applications means it is best to start the process as soon as you can to avoid time pressures as failing to apply will mean that you will end up with no legal right to live and work in the UK.

Pre-Settled Status

If you have arrived in the UK by 31 December 2020 but have not been living in the UK for 5 years then you will be granted ‘pre-settled status.’ This will allow you to stay in the UK for a further 5 years with the same freedom to live and work and have access to public funds that you currently have.

Once you have lived in the UK for 5 years you can then apply for settled status which will have no time restrictions on your stay in the UK.

Applications for Children

The good news is that if you are eligible to apply for settled status, then any children you have aged under 21 will also be eligible to apply even if they arrive in the UK after 31 December 2020. If they are already a British citizen then it won’t be necessary for them to apply under the settlement scheme, they already have rights to stay in the UK.

How We Can Help

Our expert immigration team can help explain your application and to make sure you have all the documents necessary for your application in order to best guarantee success.
