Family Reunification for Refugees
At Highfin Solicitors, we understand how important it is for refugees to be reunited with their families. If you’ve been granted refugee status or humanitarian protection in the UK, you may have the right to bring close family members to join you. Our experienced immigration solicitors can guide you through the complex application process and ensure your case is handled with care, accuracy, and compassion.
We are committed to helping you rebuild your life with your loved ones by your side.
Who Can Apply for Family Reunion?
If you have been granted refugee status or humanitarian protection, you can apply for your:
- Spouse or civil partner
- Unmarried partner (if you were in a genuine relationship before you fled your home country)
- Children under 18 (who were part of your family unit before you left)
These applications are made under the UK Refugee Family Reunion Rules, which aim to keep families together when they’ve been separated by conflict or persecution.
If your family circumstances are more complex, such as adult dependants or children born after your arrival in the UK, our solicitors can advise on alternative legal routes or discretionary applications.
The Application Process
Our team at Highfin Solicitors assists with every stage of the family reunion process:
- Initial Assessment – We assess your eligibility and explain your legal options.
- Document Preparation – We ensure all required evidence is gathered, including proof of relationships and prior cohabitation.
- Visa Application – We prepare and submit a complete and accurate application to the Home Office.
- Ongoing Support – We monitor the progress of your case, respond to any Home Office enquiries, and assist with appeals if a refusal occurs.
We aim to reunite families as quickly and smoothly as possible while ensuring compliance with UK immigration law.
Home Office Fees
There is currently no Home Office application fee for refugee family reunion applications. However, legal representation costs will vary depending on the complexity of your case. At Highfin Solicitors, we offer fixed-fee services where possible and will always provide a transparent quote before starting work.
