asylum seeker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'i'm not welcome here' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'uk releases my work' is the wordplay.
'work' is an anagram indicator.
'uk'+'releases'+'my'='ukreleasesmy'
'ukreleasesmy' is an anagram of 'ASYLUM SEEKER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asylum seeker that I've seen before include "Political refugee" , "Person hoping to find sanctuary elsewhere" , "Refugee hoping to stay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
