Facing removal or deportation from the UK?
You may be arrested and eventually deported if you are found to be in violation of immigration law or the terms of your immigration status.
If you are detained, it is important that you obtain expert advice from a reputable immigration law firm as soon as possible.
What is deportation?
Deportation is normally reserved for foreign nationals who have been convicted of a crime. In the following situations, deportation may be ordered:
- When a court orders deportation for a person over the age of 17 who has been found guilty of a crime that may result in incarceration,
- If the Secretary of State thinks removal is for the “public good and in the public interest,” the person will be deported
If a person is under the age of 18 and is the deportee’s spouse, civil partner, or child.
What are Removal Orders?
You may be arrested and deported from the country if you violated the terms of your immigration status.
A person’s administrative dismissal may be requested if they have:
- An application to remain in the UK was presented, but it was denied
- They outstayed their visa to stay in the UK
They had broken the laws of their current immigration status
Can you challenge a Deportation/ Removal Order?
An individual will be informed in writing if the Home Office has made the decision that they should be deported or removed from UK. You can appeal the Home Office’s decision by stating why you think you should remain in the country. It is important to note, however, that you are not immediately entitled to an appeal to contest a deportation order.
The UK’s Human Rights Act 1998 allows for an appeal against a deportation order based on a violation of human rights. You may also appeal an administrative deportation order if you are entitled to apply for asylum.
A person must file an appeal against deportation or removal within 28 days of obtaining the deportation or removal order. If an individual is already in custody, they have five days to file an appeal.
It is important to seek advice from an established immigration law office if you want to file an appeal. If you are facing deportation or expulsion, the Immigration Advice Service will help you immediately. We will assist you in drafting an appeal to overturn the ruling and will be there for you in the process.
Getting the Appeal Decision
What happens if the appeal is successful?
You have 28 days to file an appeal, or five days if you are still in custody.
You may request for entry clearance or request “leave to enter” once you land at a UK port of entry if your appeal is accepted and the deportation order is revoked.
What happens if the appeal fails?
You can file a second appeal if your first petition is denied but you have further proof of your right to stay in the UK.
If you do not have the option to challenge the Home Office’s ruling, you can file a judicial review petition, which can include an order to prevent deportation. Our immigration lawyers will gladly assist you if you want to learn more about this choice.
If you are unable to make any further appeals and do not plan to leave the country willingly, the Home Office will make immediate arrangements to remove you from the country. You will be unable to return to the UK for ten years after you have been expelled from the country.

Being Taken in Detention
The Home Office normally takes a long time to organise your deportation. You will be recommended to contact an immigration reporting center every two weeks or once a month during this period.
You will be sent to a detention center if you only have a brief time before being deported or if the officials suspect you are attempting to escape deportation.
If you are pregnant or disqualified due to your mental wellbeing, this will happen at any moment. As a result, you should always make sure you have all of your records, including copies of your requests and rejection decisions, with you.
You have the freedom to have friends, receive calls, use the Web, and connect with the outside world while in a deportation center. You would also be required to apply for bail.
Conditions of Bail for Immigration Detainees
You may request for immigration bail if you are in an immigration detention center or deportation center. You may either apply a Home Office Bail or a First-Tier Tribunal Bail, depending on the situation.
After spending roughly seven days in prison, you will be granted the chance to request for bail. If your application is approved, you will be released on bail and permitted to leave the immigration detention center.
If some of your friends or family is currently detained, our experienced immigration attorneys will provide you with all of the assistance you need to file a bail application.
While we cannot assure or determine the future of your lawsuit, we pledge to give you our best advice so that your case is treated with respect.
