Rishi Sunak set to launch crackdown on asylum seeker backlog with 20-day questionnaire
A leaked letter from the Home Office reveals claims for asylum will be invalidated if the applicants - some who speak little or no English - fail to fill in the form within the time limit.www.google.com

Albanians aren't getting these questionnaires, it's only select nationalities which are very likely to have their claims acceptedI think most of them may understand it they teach English in Albania as far as I know.
I thought as they’re the largest group claiming asylum they would have something in place to fast track them .Albanians aren't getting these questionnaires, it's only select nationalities which are very likely to have their claims accepted
It appears that the government is trying to fast track their claims but they're using interviews to do soI thought as they’re the largest group claiming asylum they would have something in place to fast track them .
