If your visa application has been refused, there are several avenues which you can proceed further.

If you have been given with the right to appeal, our immigration expert can help you to challenge the refusal decision of the Home Office by representing you in the immigration appeal.

Appeals to the First Tier Tribunal (FTT)

Under section 82 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 a person may appeal to the Tribunal where a decision has been made to either:

  • refuse a protection claim
  • refuse a human rights claim
  • revoke protection status

If you are appealing from inside the UK, the appeal should be filed within 14 days after the receipt of notice of decision.

If you are appealing from outside the UK, the appeal should be filed within 28 days after the date of the receipt of the notice of decision.

Appeals to the Upper Tribunal (UT)

If the decision is made against you in First Tier Tribunal, you may be able to appeal against the decision in Upper Tribunal.

The Upper Tribunal will decide whether or not the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) judge made a material error of law in determining the immigration appeal in question.

Court of Appeal

If your appeal is dismissed in Upper Tribunal and you wish to bring this further to the Court of Appeal, you will need to obtain permission to appeal.

Judicial Review

If you have not been given the right to appeal against the refusal decision, you can submit a judicial review to challenge the immigration decision.

The court reviews the unlawfulness of an immigration decision and if the decision is found to be unlawful, the decision will be set aside by the court so that the Home Office UKVI or the Tribunal, as the case may be, can make a fresh lawful immigration decision.
