Home Office introduces a new system of asylum claim questionnaires.
On 23rd February 2023, the Home Office introduced a new system of asylum claim questionnaires. It is essential that asylum seekers respond to these questionnaires within the deadline.
We understand that this has caused some concern within communities. You should know:
The questionnaires will only be sent to people from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Libya, Syria and Yemen
i. and who claimed asylum before 28th June 2022
ii. and who have not already had a substantive interview
This Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) is aimed at migrant support organisations to help them understand what these questionnaires entail and how their clients / members / service users will be affected.
The FAQ can be found here https://www.lawcentreni.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Asylum-Claim-Questionnaires-FAQ.pdf and on the Migration Justice Page of our website – https://www.lawcentreni.org/migration-justice-project/
