Initial applications before 5 March 2007 (if you have not left the UK since claiming asylum)

If you initially applied for asylum before 5 March 2007, but you have left the UK either through your own choice, or as the conclusion of your case by the case resolution directorate, then you should follow the advice in initial applications before 5 March 2007, and those whose case has been concluded by case resolution directorate, who have left the UK and returned.

If you initially applied for asylum before 5 March 2007, you have not left the UK since applying for asylum, and your case is managed by our case assurance and audit unit, you will need to make your further submission by appointment and in person at Liverpool further submissions unit (FSU).

You cannot make a further submission at Liverpool FSU unless you have an appointment. To make an appointment, phone the FSU on 0151 213 2411. The phone line opens at 09:00, and closes when 30 appointments have been booked or at 16:00 (whichever is earlier).

When you book an appointment, we will send you written confirmation of the appointment.

When you visit the Liverpool FSU, you must consent to our Security screening and search process before entering the building.

The case resolution directorate has now completed a review of all cases.  Those cases which have been reviewed but not fully concluded have now passed to the case assurance and audit unit (CAAU). CAAU will continue to manage all such cases through to full conclusion, as part of this process CAAU may contact you asking for further information about your case. If you make a further submission before CAAU contacts you, your case will not be processed any sooner.  Liverpool FSU cannot give you an update on your case.

If you cannot travel to Liverpool FSU

You will not need to book an appointment if you are unable to travel to the FSU because you meet one of the following exceptional criteria:

• you have a disability or severe illness and are physically unable to travel;
• you are imprisoned or in detention and cannot make your submission in person; or
• you are an unaccompanied asylum-seeking child and cannot travel to the Liverpool FSU because it is too far away.

Instead, you should fax your further submission to our further submissions team in Liverpool on 0870 336 9261, with documentary evidence to show how you meet at least one of the exceptional criteria. If we decide that you do not meet any of the criteria, we will tell you that you must book an appointment at the FSU.

If you have booked an appointment at Liverpool FSU and you want to cancel it, you should phone our cancellation line on 0151 213 2413. Please leave your Home Office reference number and the time and date of your appointment. Any other information will not be considered.
