This is not legal advice. The numbers show what happens on average — your case may be different. For advice on your situation, consult an IAA-accredited advisor.

How to read these numbers

Get protection — the share of cases where the Home Office granted refugee status or humanitarian protection at the first decision. This excludes appeals, and about half of refusals are overturned in court — so with a lawyer your real odds are usually higher than this figure.
Waiting for a decision — how many people from your country are still waiting for a first decision. Average wait in 2026 is 6-18 months.
Main outcome — what most often happens to cases from your country: protection, refusal or withdrawal.
Claims in the year — how many people from your country applied. Small numbers (single or double digits) are statistical noise, not a pattern.

These are country averages. Your case is individual — it depends on your story and evidence. Only an accredited lawyer (free via Legal Aid) can assess it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this legal advice?

No. This is a summary of Home Office statistics — they show what happens on average. Your case may be different. For advice on your situation, consult an IAA-accredited adviser or solicitor.

Where do these numbers come from?

Official Home Office publications, release of 21 May 2026 (year ending March 2026), updated every quarter. Full statistics with charts →

Which countries are covered?

12 countries of the former Soviet Union: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.

What if I am refused?

Do not panic. You have 14 days from the refusal to appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, and about half succeed. After that come the Upper Tribunal and further submissions. Removal is only possible once all appeals are exhausted. A Legal Aid lawyer is free. How to appeal →

Can I work while waiting for a decision?

As a general rule, no. If you wait longer than 12 months you can apply for permission to work, but only in roles on the Immigration Salary List. For most people, volunteering is the realistic option. Right to work →
