What are the reasons for the asylum application?

Did you apply for asylum before/after BIA were aware of your overstay?

Asylum applications from Indian nationals may be fast-tracked. If refused, the only right of appeal is after removal from the UK.

I hope the OP took advice from a reputable legal advisor before making this application.

Not wishing to be contentious but for my own information what's a valid reason for asylum from India?

I don't know. There are a number of countries, including India, which are generally regarded as being unlikely to give cause to their citizens to have a valid reason for qualifying for asylum under the relevant conventions. Claims from anyone from those countries still have to be considered on their merits, but if refused, their appeal rights are severely curtailed.
Applicants may feel that there is some good reason why they can't go back to their own country, but a good legal advisor should be able to give them an honest assessment of whether they qualify for asylum and of their appeal rights.

Confused - one minute it is 11 years student overstay and then it is three year visitor overstay. If you can't keep to your story on the forum God help you when get your asylum interview. Remember if you employ deception the negatives that come with it will ensure you can not return to the UK in the next ten years.

As for a successful Indian asylum claim - nil or next to nil chance of sucess! The very reason you have no right of in country appeal is because India is considered a safe, democratic, multicultural, sensible country with a well established human rights & judicial record.

My advice - book the flights and go home ASAP. At least that way you can return to the UK at some point soon. If you and your family get returned by UKBA you will face a 10 year ban on coming back to the UK.
