"A BBC reporter, posing as a former student wanting to remain in the UK, met one of those advisers, Tanisa Khan. For a fee, she offered to provide evidence to support the fake claim that he was gay."
"Migrants whose visas are due to run out are being given fake cover stories and instructed in how to obtain fabricated evidence including supporting letters, photographs and medical reports."
"They then apply for asylum claiming to be gay and in fear for their lives if they return to Pakistan or Bangladesh."
"In response to our findings, the Home Office said: 'Anyone found trying to exploit the system will face the full force of the law, including removal from the UK.'"
Immigration advisers are reportedly encouraging migrants to exploit the asylum system by posing as gay individuals. A BBC investigation revealed that advisers, such as Tanisa Khan, offer services to create fake evidence supporting these claims for a fee. Migrants facing visa expiration are instructed on how to fabricate supporting documents, including letters and medical reports, to claim asylum based on fears of persecution in their home countries, such as Pakistan or Bangladesh. The Home Office has stated that those exploiting the system will face legal consequences.
