Title: New Asylum Model


1
New Asylum Model
2
Pre 5th March 2007
  • In July 1998 the government had inherited a
    backlog of over 50,000 cases awaiting decision
    and over 20,000 queuing for an appeal hearing.
  • Before the introduction of the NAM, 75 of claims
    were decided in two months.

3
The aim of the New Asylum Model
  • To introduce a faster, more tightly managed
    asylum process with an emphasis on rapid
    integration or removal.
  • The Home Office is now processing all new asylum
    seekers within the new model as of the 5th March
    2007.

4
NAM Case Processing
  • Under the NAM, for general cases the asylum
    decision will generally be served within 30
    working days.
  • The Case Owner is a Home Office official
    responsible for an asylum seekers case
    throughout the process from application to the
    granting of status or removal.

  • persecution
  • for a convention reason
  • not excluded

Convention Reasons
  • race
  • religion

  • political opinion
  • membership of a particular social group

7
Procedure
  • Application in person
  • Screening
  • Substantive interview
  • Decision
  • Appeal
  • Application for reconsideration etc

8
Case Resolution
  • Any case outside the NAM on 5th March 2007 is a
    Case Resolution case.
  • This includes cases that have not been fully
    determined, applications for further leave, cases
    awaiting appeal or those who have exhausted their
    appeal rights but who remain in the UK.
  • Home Office aims to conclude all of these
    incomplete cases by the summer of 2011.
  • This is not an amnesty for individuals whose
    cases are unresolved (http//www.ukba.homeoffice.
    gov.uk/asylum/process/oldercases/)

Decision
  • When the Home Office (HO) decides on your asylum
    application and grants you permission to stay,
    you will be given one of the following
  • Refugee status
  • Humanitarian protection
  • Discretionary leave.
  • When you are given one of the above statuses it
    does not mean that you are allowed to stay in the
    UK permanently. You can stay permanently only
    when the Home Office gives you indefinite leave
    to remain, also called settlement.
