Fresh Asylum Claim
Professional Assistance with New Asylum Submissions
Submit a Fresh Asylum Claim through Legate Hub | Expert Legal Preparation and Representation
Overview
A Fresh Asylum Claim is a new protection request made to the Home Office by an individual whose previous asylum claim, appeal, or human rights application has been refused or concluded. The new claim must present evidence or facts that have not previously been considered and which could materially affect the outcome of the case.
Legate Hub provides comprehensive case preparation and legal support to ensure that all new evidence meets the Home Office requirements for consideration as a valid fresh claim under Paragraph 353 of the Immigration Rules.
Eligibility Requirements
- You must have had a previous asylum or human rights claim refused, withdrawn, or concluded.
- New evidence or information must have arisen since the last decision that was not previously available.
- The new evidence must be credible, relevant, and capable of creating a realistic prospect of success if considered by a judge.
- The evidence must not have been deliberately withheld during the earlier application or appeal.
Required Documents Checklist
- Copy of previous asylum decision(s), appeal determinations, and refusal letters.
- All new documentary evidence supporting the fresh claim (e.g. updated country reports, medical evidence, witness statements, new risk information).
- Identity documents and travel history (if available).
- Proof of current residence and contact information.
- Any correspondence received from the Home Office since the previous decision.
- Translations and certifications for any non-English materials.
