If your UK visa or immigration application has been refused, our immigration appeal lawyers can advise you on the merits of appealing to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber), prepare your immigration appeal and represent you at your immigration appeal hearing.

Appealing your visa refusal means that you are challenging the decision made by the Home Office, either on the basis that you believe an error was made, that the law has been incorrectly interpreted, or your human rights have been breached.

Contact our immigration lawyers to discuss an immigration appeal for your UK visa refusal.

If your UK visa application is refused, you will receive a letter from the Home Office explaining the reasons for your visa refusal and whether you have the right to appeal or request an Administrative Review. If you wish to appeal the immigration decision, you will need to do so within the required time. Typically, you will have 14 days if you are inside the UK and 28 days to appeal a UK visa refusal if you are outside the UK.

Immigration Visa Refusal appeal means that you are challenging the decision made by the Home Office, either on the basis that you believe an error has been made, that the law has been incorrectly applied, or your human rights have been breached.

Who can appeal against a Home Office decision?

Your decision letter from the Home Office will tell you if you have the right to appeal their decision. Depending on your circumstances and your type of visa application, you may be able to apply for:

• An Administrative Review (AR) – if the Home Office made a mistake when refusing your application

• An appeal

 

You should be given the right to appeal your decision to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) on the basis of human rights if the Home Office has:

 

• refused an asylum claim or humanitarian protection claim

• revoked your protection status

• refused your human rights claim

• revoked your British citizenship

• refused or revoked your status, varied the length or condition of your stay, or deported you under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS)

• refused or revoked your EUSS family permit

It is highly likely that you will have no right of appeal if you have been refused a visitor visa or short-term student visa. Our Immigration Lawyer will be able to check your rights to appeal in this situation and recommend all options available to you.
