Every case is assessed individually, taking into account the Immigration Rules, relevant legislation and, where applicable, your rights under the European Convention on Human Rights.

Human Rights Grounds
Human rights grounds, including Article 8 where applicable, may be used to challenge deportation.
Legal Errors

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be deported if I have indefinite leave to remain (ILR)?
Yes. In certain circumstances, a person with Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) may still face deportation, particularly if they have been convicted of a serious criminal offence or their deportation is considered conducive to the public good. Each case is assessed on its individual facts.
Can my family stay in the UK if I am deported?
Your deportation does not automatically affect the immigration status of your partner or children. However, every family's circumstances are different, and the impact on your family life may be relevant when challenging a deportation decision.
Can I return to the UK after being deported?
A person who has been deported is usually prohibited from returning to the UK while a deportation order remains in force. In some cases, it may be possible to apply for the deportation order to be revoked, depending on the circumstances and the applicable Immigration Rules.
Will a criminal conviction always lead to deportation?
No. A criminal conviction does not automatically result in deportation. The Home Office will consider factors such as the nature of the offence, the length of the sentence, your immigration status and any relevant legal or human rights considerations before making a decision.
How can a deportation lawyer help my case?
A deportation lawyer can assess the Home Office's decision, explain your legal options, prepare supporting evidence and represent you throughout the legal process. Obtaining legal advice at an early stage can help ensure that your case is presented as effectively as possible.
