Asylum and humanitarian protection
Protection claims for people who fear return to their home country, and preparation of the evidence that supports an asylum claim or appeal.
Domestic abuse immigration (SET (DV))
Settlement applications under the SET (DV) route for people whose relationship has broken down because of domestic abuse.
Asylum appeal preparation
Preparing appeal bundles and supporting evidence for asylum appeals, working alongside the supervising solicitor.
If you are not sure which of these applies to your situation, a short phone call with the immigration team will tell you.
Asylum and domestic abuse cases often involve people at a vulnerable point in their lives, and the strength of a case can depend on the evidence being gathered, organised and presented clearly. Amna prepares that material carefully, so that each claim and appeal is supported by a well ordered bundle.
She is used to working with sensitive accounts and confidential documents, and she approaches this work with the care it needs. Her focus is on helping vulnerable people through a process that can be difficult to face alone.
