<div data-wrapper="true" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif"> <p>If the Home Office refuses your claim, it will provide a letter setting out the reasons. The letter will be written in English and you should discuss the contents with your legal representative if you need to. The letter will confirm why the Home Office believes that you do not meet the grounds for asylum or humanitarian protection.</p> <p>You need to carefully consider your options at this stage.</p> <p>You may have the right to appeal against the Home Office’s decision. This means you can ask an Immigration Judge, who is independent from the Home Office, to look at the decision and decide whether they agree with it. You need to discuss this with your legal representative. Please note that there are strict timescales for appealing against the Home Office decision.</p> <p>If you receive a ‘certified refusal’, it means that you do not have an automatic right to appeal. You may however be able to apply for a Judicial Review. You will need to discuss this with your legal representative who will be able to apply for a Judicial Review if there are grounds to do so.</p> <p>If you do not wish to appeal, then the Voluntary Returns Service (VRS) is the most suitable way to leave the United Kingdom.
