Many research studies and surveys have focused on asylum seekers preferring to come to the United Kingdom (UK). Several of these expert studies suggest that there are predetermined reasons of choosing the UK over other countries. However, speaking to these asylum seekers has brought out the reality. Specific interview-based studies have showed that around two-thirds of asylum seekers did not even had it in mind to come specifically to the UK. Only one-third people had made their minds to seek asylum in this country. Such people chose the UK, as they had relatives and friends living here.
