Private Life/ Human
Rights-Based Applications
PRIVATE LIFE/ HUMAN RIGHTS-BASED APPLICATIONS
Lumine Solicitors can assist individuals in making private life and Human rights-based applications in accordance with Articles 3 or 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) for the right to remain in the UK.
Article 3: Prohibition of torture, of the European Convention on Human Rights, says:
‘No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.’
Â
You may be able to make a human rights claim under this if the British government attempts to remove a person from the UK back to their home country, where there is a genuine risk of persecution or serious harm.
Article 8: Private life, of the European Convention on Human Rights, says:
8 (1) ‘Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home, and his correspondence.’
8 (2) ‘There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety, or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.’
Â
You may be able to make a human rights claim under Article 8 of the ECHR if you have developed strong family ties and have resided in the UK for many years.
ELIGIBILITY:
Applications based on human rights can be submitted to the Home Office in many ways including:
- for leave to remain as a parent of a child in the UK
- for ILR as a child under 18 who has lived in the UK for at least 7 years
- for ILR as someone aged 18 or above but under 25 who has lived in the UK for at least ½ their life with continuous residence.
