- Our approach
What Is a Human Rights Application?
Human rights applications are made under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which protects the right to respect for private and family life, and sometimes under Article 3, which prohibits inhuman or degrading treatment.
You may qualify to remain in the UK if:
- You have a partner or children who are British citizens or settled in the UK
- You’ve lived in the UK for many years and built strong personal and community ties
- You face serious risk to your life or wellbeing if returned to your country of origin
- Your health conditions cannot be properly treated outside the UK
- Removal would significantly disrupt your established family or private life
When to Apply
A human rights application can be made:
- As part of a further leave to remain or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) application
- If you are facing removal or deportation
- Following a refused asylum or visa application
- If you have overstayed but have significant family or private life established in the UK
How Highfin Solicitors Can Help
Successful human rights applications depend on robust evidence. This may include:
- Proof of family life (marriage, children’s education, shared financial commitments)
- Medical evidence if you suffer from serious health conditions
- Evidence of length of residence and community involvement
- Witness statements and support from professionals or community members
Our solicitors will guide you through what is required and help compile a comprehensive bundle in support of your application.
