The post-migration experience of the Feylis, also known as Feyli Kurds, has been overlooked in the studies of Iraqi diaspora groups in the United Kingdom. It is difficult to find scholarly literature exclusively interested in this historically significant ethno-religious group. This research gap is striking considering the substantial academic focus that has been given to other Iraqi diaspora ethnic groups such as the Assyrians and the Yazidis (King, 2005; Cook et al., 2021). This study aims to help bridge this gap by analysing social integration patterns and the creation or maintenance of social boundaries (Wimmer, 2013). It also explores Feylis' social ties with their immediate communities as well as their transnational connections as part of their experience in the United Kingdom. In this respect, the research will attempt to understand the social integration of Feyli community and the ways they have managed to retain their religious and ethnic identities in the diaspora through combining ethnographic and archival methods to identify the socio-cultural and political status of the community in the United Kingdom. In doing so, this research will demonstrate how the experience of the Feyli community in the UK may advance the debates arounds integration. The impact of government policy on this process will also be studied.

费利人，也被称为费利库尔德人，他们移民后的经历在研究散居在英国的伊拉克人群体时被忽视了。很难找到专门对这个具有重要历史意义的种族-宗教群体感兴趣的学术文献。考虑到学术界对其他伊拉克散居族群，如亚述人和雅兹迪人的大量关注，这一研究差距是惊人的(King，2005；Cook等人，2021)。这项研究旨在通过分析社会融合模式和社会边界的建立或维持来帮助弥合这一差距(Wimmer，2013)。它还探讨了费利斯与其直接社区的社会关系，以及作为他们在联合王国经历的一部分的跨国关系。在这方面，研究将试图了解费利社区的社会融合，以及他们如何通过结合人种学和档案方法来确定该社区在联合王国的社会文化和政治地位，从而设法在散居国外保留其宗教和种族特性。通过这样做，这项研究将展示英国费利社区的经验如何推动围绕融合的辩论。还将研究政府政策对这一进程的影响。
