Details

UK Visas and Immigration guidance on how staff should undertake contact management as well as interview and make decisions about asylum claims from families with at least one child under 18 years old.

This guidance does not provide information on how to process cases where the family unit does not include a child under 18 years of age, for example a married couple with no children nor how to process non-asylum family cases.
