<div data-wrapper="true" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif">You are not allowed to work unless your ARC card or Bail 201 form says that you can. This includes running a business. If your claim has been outstanding for 12 months through no fault of your own, you can request permission to work through the UKVI asylum casework team dealing with your claim. If successful, you would be restricted to jobs on the shortage occupation list found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigrationrules/immigration-rules-appendix-k-shortage-occupation-list">www.gov.uk/guidance/immigrationrules/immigration-rules-appendix-k-shortage-occupation-list</a>. If you are found to be working illegally, you and your employer will face being prosecuted. At no point during your asylum claim can you be self-employed or undertake unpaid work.</div>
