The government is investigating after BBC reports revealed some migrants are being advised to make false claims they are gay or a victim of domestic abuse in order to stay in the country.
No 10 said there were "robust safeguards" to make sure claims are "rigorously and fairly assessed".
The prime minister's spokesman said the Home Office and the regulator, the Immigration Advice Authority, were working to ensure "anyone potentially abusing our immigration system is held accountable".
Opposition parties have called for a complete overhaul of the asylum system to prevent false claims.
The Home Office was already looking into a growing trend of fake claims from people pretending to be gay, as well as concerns that rules designed to protect victims of domestic violence are being exploited.
It is now investigating the individuals and organisations highlighted by the BBC's reporting.
A BBC investigation has uncovered how 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.
In some cases, law firms and advisers are charging thousands of pounds to advise migrants how they can claim to be gay and in fear for their lives if they return to Pakistan or Bangladesh, in order to apply for asylum.
The BBC has also discovered how some migrants are exploiting rules brought in by ministers to help genuine victims of domestic abuse to secure permanent residence more quickly than through other routes, such as asylum.
In some cases, migrants have duped British partners into relationships and marriage before making fake domestic abuse claims after moving to the UK.

Why is the left-wing BBC doing this kind of investigation?
How does someone prove they’re gay?
Paging Captain Louis Renault. Captain Louis Renault, please report to the ‘I’m Shocked’ meme studio. Captain Renault to the meme studio, please."
Captain Renault was a bit slow this time. He didn’t show up until post #5.
The shocked Captain always arrives precisely when he intends to ;-)
Migrants would lie??
Shock!
GBNews, the UK’s conservative news outlet has been reporting on this nonsense for the past 5 or 6 years... The BBC does one report and ‘now’ they want to investigate it?
The next thing you know... The Home Office will want to investigate those Pakistani rape gangs that have been operating in London and the UK for past 20 years.
The politicians lie like dogs, criminals lie, the woke lie, the sososocilists lie, the lip service liberTARDS lie, the communists lie, the fascists lie and the big daddy of liars in the wide wide world is islam and of course moslems.
Catch. (evil grin)
