Immigration and Asylum Appeals

If your immigration application or asylum claim has been wrongly refused, you have the option to file an immigration appeal or request an administrative review of the decision.

An administrative review application to the Home Office can be submitted. This is an application to correct an error that occurred during the decision-making process. In situations where there is no right of appeal against the decision, administrative review is typically available. It is accessible in conjunction with or apart from the right of appeal for applications made under the EU Settlement Scheme.

In certain situations, such as applications made as an adult dependant relative or as the spouse or partner of a British citizen, when the refusal violates your human rights, there is an appeal right. You would generally be given a right of appeal if your asylum claim is refused.

An immigration tribunal, which is separate from the Home Office, hears appeals pertaining to immigration and asylum. An immigration judge hears appeals, and the hearing can take place in person or via video link, with the parties and the judge present. For the appeal, you will typically have bundles of paperwork for both sides as well as witness statements prepared.

We work hard to relieve you of any burden, whether your remedy is an administrative review or an immigration appeal.

We begin by providing legal advice regarding the likelihood that your appeal will succeed. We will not take on a case that we cannot win. However, if there is even the slightest chance of success, we will go over everything in detail with you so you can decide whether you wish to go ahead or not.

We will also let you know about any relevant procedures and deadlines. We will handle all legal submissions, document preparation, and document filing as directed. In addition to filing the appeal, we will prepare and serve the Appellant’s appeal bundle including preparing your witness statements, and, if required, provide expert witness evidence. We will represent you at  the hearing and communicate with post-appeal decision team until the appeal decision has been implemented.

It is imperative that you get in touch with us right away via phone/email/online form or chat with us if you wish to appeal against a refusal decision.
