A Fresh Claim is a legal opportunity for individuals whose asylum or human rights applications have previously been refused, but who now have new evidence or circumstances that could significantly impact their case. Making a Fresh Claim can reopen a path to protection and leave to remain in the UK, provided it meets specific legal standards.
A Fresh Claim is not simply a repeat of a previously refused application it must be based on new and credible evidence or a change in circumstances that was not considered in the original decision. This could include new documentation, country conditions, legal developments, or personal risk factors that have emerged since the last decision.
To be considered a Fresh Claim by the Home Office, the new evidence must be significantly different and must create a realistic prospect of success if considered by an immigration judge. If accepted, the applicant is entitled to stay in the UK while the new claim is assessed. If not accepted as a fresh claim, removal proceedings may resume.
Submitting a strong Fresh Claim requires legal precision and comprehensive presentation of evidence. Any delay or omission can result in rejection or removal. That’s why expert legal guidance is crucial.
