Questionnaires sent to 6,000 families
In July 2006 the Home Secretary announced that all asylum cases outside the New Asylum Model1 will be resolved by June 20112. These cases, formerly known as legacy cases and now called case
resolution, are being dealt with by the Case Resolution Directorate at the Border and Immigration
Agency (BIA). It is estimated that there could be as many as 450,000 such cases at all stages of the
asylum determination process, hence the need for a planned approach to their resolution. (more…)

Dear All,
Please find a link below to the Refugee Council’s briefing on the legacy questionnaires that has been produced, it’s quite sel explanatory.
As regards to what the Refugee COuncil can do in the region, we have established a referral system to solicitors so that anybody who receives a questionnaire will have legal aid to fill it up.
Please ask anybody you know to come to the office on 1 Dewsbury Road to be referred to a solicitor and get further information on these questionnaires.
Again, please bare in mind that this IS NOT AN AMNESTY EXCERCISE.
Thank you, please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information
