Questionnaire: continue your asylum claim

Use this questionnaire if you are from Iran, and you applied for asylum between 28 June 2022 to 7 March 2023.

You can no longer use this questionnaire.

If the Home Office previously contacted you, but you were not able to complete the questionnaire, you will be invited for an interview.

Complete this questionnaire if the Home Office asked you to. You can use it to tell us:

  • you still need a decision
  • any change in your circumstances
  • anything else important about your claim

We’ll use the information you give us to decide your asylum claim. We’ll arrange an interview if we need more details to make a decision.

You cannot use this questionnaire to make a new claim for asylum.

If you wish to provide any further evidence in support of your asylum claim, please email Asylum Central Communications Hub asylumcentralcommunicationshub@homeoffice.gov.uk

  • have received a letter from the Home Office asking you to complete the questionnaire
  • be over 18
  • be in the UK now

If you claimed asylum in the UK on or after 28 June 2022, you do not need to do anything. We’ll contact you about the next steps of your asylum claim.
