Immigration law

Human Rights: Article 8 Family & Private Life

Some circumstances fall outside the standard Immigration Rules. Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights may still require the decision-maker to weigh family and private life.

How we can help

Family life applications

Cases where refusal would cause unjustifiably harsh consequences for a family.

Private life applications

Applications based on length of residence and ties to the UK.

Exceptional circumstances

Representations where the rules are not met but refusal may be disproportionate.

Best interests of children

Presenting evidence about the interests of children affected by a decision.

Our approach

  • We assess the strength of the family and private life evidence.
  • We explain the legal tests in plain English.
  • We prepare structured, well-supported representations.

We cannot guarantee any outcome. Decisions rest with the Home Office and the tribunal. Fees are agreed in writing before work begins — see Fees & transparency.
