deportation and removal

If you have limited leave to remain in the UK or Indefinite Leave to remain in the UK then you are liable to deportation or removal from the UK.

Deportation

If the Home Office decides that it is for the good of the public to deport a person then an order will be issued. This usually occurs when a person has committed a criminal offence.

If you are issued with a deportation order then you are required to leave the UK and are not permitted to re-enter the UK whilst this order is in force. You will be given a Notice by the Home Office informing you of their decision and your right to appeal. DBS Law can assist you with challenging the Home Office’s decision to deport you from the UK. We can advise you about the relevant laws and procedures, prepare your paperwork for the appeal and represent you at the hearing.

Revocation of a Deport Order

If you have been deported from the UK, under the Immigration Rules you are entitled to make an application to the Home Office to revoke this Order. The Home Office will then make a decision taking into account all the circumstances in the matter. DBS Law can assist you on making these representations to the Home Office.

If the Home Office make the decision to revoke the Deportation Order, this will not entitle you to re-enter the UK. It will merely make you eligible to make an Entry Clearance application.

Removal

If you have overstayed in the UK, entered illegally, or failed to observe the conditions of your visa then you are liable to be removed from the UK. If you are issued with removal directions then it is very important that you seek legal advice. DBS Law, after taking detailed instructions will be able to advise you of what steps to take.

If you are removed from the UK then you could face a ban on re entering in the future. The Immigration Rules state:

Over-stayers who leave within 28 days of the end of their visa and pay for their own departure can come back immediately
Those who otherwise breach immigration laws but leave voluntarily and pay for their own departure can return after 12 months
Those who breach immigration laws, leave voluntarily but whose departure is paid for by the Home Office can return after 5 years
Those who breach immigration laws and are removed involuntarily at the expense of the Home Office can return after 10 years.

Therefore it is very important that you contact DBS Law for help and assistance.
