Facing deportation or removal from the UK is one of the most stressful situations anyone can experience. IAUK Manchester provides urgent, expert representation to challenge deportation orders, secure bail, and protect your right to remain.
If you or someone you know is facing imminent deportation or removal, contact us now. Our emergency team can act within hours.
Under the UK Borders Act 2007, the Home Office must make a deportation order for any foreign national sentenced to 12 months or more imprisonment, unless an exception applies. Exceptions include:
We identify the strongest legal grounds — human rights, refugee convention, or procedural unfairness
We prepare a detailed appeal bundle with evidence, witness statements, and expert reports
If you’re detained, we apply for immigration bail to secure your release pending the appeal
We represent you at the hearing and advocate for the deportation order to be revoked
If you are being held in immigration detention, you have the right to apply for immigration bail. We prepare strong bail applications that demonstrate you are not a flight risk and that detention is no longer justified.
Some deportation decisions only carry an out-of-country right of appeal. We can represent you remotely and ensure your case is heard even if you’ve already left the UK.
When removal is imminent and there’s a risk of irreversible harm, we can apply for an emergency injunction to halt the removal — sometimes within hours of instruction.
A deportation order is a formal order that bans you from the UK, usually for 10 years. It is issued on grounds of public good or following a criminal conviction. A removal direction is an administrative process to remove someone who has overstayed or breached visa conditions — it does not carry an automatic re-entry ban.
Yes, in most cases you have a right of appeal to the First-Tier Tribunal. If you are being deported following a criminal conviction, your appeal is usually limited to human rights and refugee convention grounds.
Immigration bail allows you to be released from immigration detention while your case is ongoing. You may need to meet conditions such as reporting to an immigration office, living at a specified address, or wearing an electronic tag.
Having a British child is a significant factor but does not automatically prevent deportation. The Tribunal must consider the best interests of the child as a primary consideration, alongside public interest in deportation.
Every minute counts. Our 24-hour emergency team is ready to assess your case and take urgent action.
