Asylum Seeker – A person attempting to gain entry to a country by claiming refugee status. This means that their life would be endangered if they remain in their own country. NB many asylum seekers are desperate economic migrants who cannot meet the migration criteria of the UK

Immigrant Pathways If an asylum seeker is granted leave to stay they become a refugee and are given a visa. If that visa is made permanent they can apply for UK citizenship. If they are refused leave to stay they are repatriated. If an asylum seeker who is refused leave ‘disappears’ they become an illegal immigrant and if discovered they will be deported. A refugee whose visa has expired will be repatriated, if they ‘disappear’ they also become an illegal immigrant. If discovered they too will be deported.

Repatriation The returning home of failed asylum seekers to their home country. Read the article on Zimbabwe and annotate issues that arise. Watch the video on Iraq and make notes
