You will be given a limited time to lodge the appeal at court so it is very important that you act fast and seek expert advice.
Quite often the reason for the refusal is that the correct documents have not been provided or the immigration rules have not been met.
If you already have leave to remain in the UK at the time you had submitted your visa application, and you lodge the appeal in-time, then your rights are protected whilst your appeal is on-going.
Appeal from within the UK
You can only appeal to the tribunal if you have the legal right to appeal – you’ll usually be told if you do in your decision letter.
You have 14 days to appeal from the date the decision was sent.
If you apply after the deadline, you must explain why – the tribunal will decide if it can still hear your appeal.
Ask for an oral hearing
You can ask for a decision to be made either:
- just on the information in your appeal form and any documents supplied to the tribunal
- at a hearing that you and your representative can attend
The tribunal can decide to have a hearing even if you do not ask for one. You’ll be told if this is the case and invited to attend.
If the tribunal does not hold a hearing, a judge will decide your case based on your appeal form and the documents.
