Answer 1

Don't bother becoming an Asylum Seeker here, because there is no room at the Inn, try another country like France.

Answer 2

The asylum 'issue' is no longer a problem in our dis-united kingdom, the goverment is in meltdown and who will pick up the pieces, that is if there is anything left to pick up? Let's face it we are an open door to anyone that can make it here, so much so that the police are becoming less effective at law and order, 'in case they hurt an asylum seekers feelings' means many just walk into black economy work. Remember the cockle pickers in morcombe bay? The biggest boost to the police now, is that they can concentrate on motorists, pensioners and any other law abiding person who falls foul of greed cameras or politically correct chief inspectors who have made adolph hitler look like a boy scout. I wonder what asylum seekers think of british police, justice, immigration and county councils. They must love us.

What the hell?!!!

You're suppose to need to be an asylum seeker NOT want to be, the whole point of "seeking asylum" is if a person is unable or unwilling to return home through fear of persecution or has a well-grounded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, or political opinion not a holiday. If you want to live in the uk then you should immigrate properly like everyone else should do!

Answer 4

1. The case is supposed to be determined by reference to the UN Convention on Human Rights. Broadly, the claimant has to show that if returned they would face a real risk of a serious breach of their human rights, eg death or torture, and that this would arise from reasons of race, religion, politics, or similar, and result from the actions of the state or at least that the state will not or cannot offer protection. The applicant has to show that relocating to another part of his contry is not a realistic option.

In practice, the Home Office refuses nearly all applicants at initial interview; if they have a realistic case, they can appeal to the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal; the decision will refer to case law, which is published on the web: http://www.ait.gov.uk/

Applicants get very limited access to legal aid, and often don't manage to put their cases properly in the short time allowed.

Applicants who had an opportunity to claim asylum in another safe country en route to UK will usually be sent back there to pursue their claims.

2. As an asylum-seeker, NASS - http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/applying/asylumsupport/ - will give applicant very basic benefits and accommodation, which may be shared-bedroom in the first available cheap location anywhere in UK. If refused, a single person will lose all assistance. Asylum-seekers are not normally allowed to work, and from August will not be able to atend English classes unless they pay.

If they get a positive decision, they will have the same benefit entitlements as a UK citizen, be allowed to work or go to college. But they will be evicted from their NASS accommodation, and will join the queue for council accommodation with everyone else.
They will be allowed to stay for five years, when their situation will be reviewed - if it's safe for them to return, they are supposed to be sent back.

3. It is impossible to be sure of the outcome, as amny cases have been messed up by the bureaucracy of the Home Office, by poor legal representation, etc. It usually comes down to whether the court believes that the applicant is probably telling the truth. Your friend should, however, explain about his case to a solicitor or OISC regulated advisor before travelling, to be sure that he has a realistic case, and that he has all necessary evidence; he will have to pay for this, and reputable advisors will not cooperate with 'fishing' enquiries, designed to assist an applicant to put together a plausible but bogus case.

4. Canada has a much more sympathetic approach; this applies to the bureaucracy, but also to public attitudes. Accepted refugees have much better prospects there. US can also be OK, but it probably depends on the country of origin. Sweden has the best reputation in Europe at the moment. Italy and Spain are reckoned pretty good if you just want to stop on without proper papers - there are obviously no benefits, and working pay and conditions are really bad, but on the other hand no one's likely to deport you. Cyprus might be OK. Australia is really tough while applying, they hold you in a camp in the desert, but good if you get papers.

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

1. Anyone can attempt to claim asylum, but if you come from one of the many countries deemed safe on the 'white list' your claim will automatically be deemed invalid. Otherwise your case will be assessed by the Home Office. You will have to convince them you have a well-founded fear of persecution if you are sent back home. It's not easy, the rejection rate for claims is currently 81%.

You can read a decription of the process here:

http://www.multikulti.org.uk/en/immigration/claiming-asylum-what-happens-when-i-apply/

2. If your claim isn't rejected, you are entitled to be housed and receive basic household furnishings. You also get a very basic subsistence allowance of 70% of the normal unemployment benefits available to the equivalent UK citizen.

3. You can't be sure, most claims are rejected.

4. I'd head for Norway or Sweden personally, they're relatively safe for asylum seekers.

Answer 6

Poor sweet innocent children? Oh pleese. I agree with dave G's answer. Why travel halfway across Europe to come to Britain? Because they know we are a soft touch thanks to hand wringing do gooders. There are young people living on the streets of our cities that have had to leave their homes due to being mentally or physically abused or just slung out because a stepfather or new boyfriend resents them. THEY are the kids I feel sorry for.

Answer 7

Your question is not about a true asylum seeker - it is more about shopping for the best deal I think!

Clearly if your friend were in the danger you say, he would not be having time to get his friends to shop for the best value deal he can get as an asylum seeker in the EU!

Answer 8

Genuinely the best country to claim asylum in is Italy because they have the highest rate of acceptance, with one of the lowest rates of application.

Answer 9

By law, the person should ask for asylum if really in danger to the closest safe country next to his own.

Answer 10

I sadly recommend the UK, our government is stupid enough to give you benefits and make sure that you have a roof over your head. It will put immigrants (especially if you come illegally) before its own people i.e. born and bred UK citizens. I just ask you that if you do come, please get yourself a job, work hard, and do not sponge off the public's taxes. It’s disgusting the way immigrants are destroying Europe, especially the UK by being so selfish.
