Appeals

Appeals

In case you are denied entry, permission to stay, deportation, or any other form of UK immigration rejection, you have the option of filing immigration and human rights appeal with the tribunal. The government has narrowed the kinds of denied visa applications that may be challenged in a UK appeal. Most applications currently rejected, such as those under the points-based system, must be challenged through Administrative Review.

Within the UK, there is now only the right to appeal if the Home Office rejects an application based on:

  • A claim for international protection
  • Revocation of Refugee Status or Humanitarian Protection
  • A claim under EU (European) law for the right to remain in the UK
  • A claim for human rights

There is no right of appeal for all applications based on human rights or protective grounds. In the UK, for example, you do not have the right to appeal if the Home Office rejects your asylum or human rights claim because it is “clearly unfounded.”

Appeal During COVID 19 Pandemic

Mr. Clements, President of the FtT, released Presidential Practice Statement Note 1 of 2020 on March 23, 2020: “Arrangements During the COVID-19 Pandemic.” It will be in effect for as long as the general Pilot Practice Direction is in effect unless cancelled or changed sooner.

Except for HR/EEA appeals, all First-tier Tribunal appeals must be filed online unless it is impossible to do so.

Legal Process when submitting an Appeal

In general, the procedure for filing an appeal consists of the following steps:

  • Consultation with our legal professionals to identify the legal reasons and papers required for an immigration appeal,
  • Completing and applying online within 14 days after getting the denial notice,

  • Attend the CMR (Case management hearing)
  • Attend the entire hearing.
  • Receiving the decision of the hearing.
