Immigration Appeals - Appeal an Immigration Decision
Immigration appeals
If your immigration application has been wrongly refused you may challenge the refusal by an application for administrative review or by an immigration appeal.
An application for administrative review is made to the Home Office. It is a request to correct a mistake in the decision-making process. Administrative review is normally available where there is no right of appeal against the decision. For applications under the EU Settlement Scheme it is available together or in addition to the right of appeal.
The right of appeal is available in a few types of applications – where the refusal is potentially in breach of Human Rights, for example in applications as a spouse or partner of a British citizen, or as an adult dependent relative. It is not available in the context of work-related immigration routes.
An immigration appeal lies to an Immigration Tribunal which is independent of the Home Office. The appeal is decided by an Immigration Judge and the hearing may be on papers or in the presence of the parties and the judge – either in court or by a video link. Normally, you will have witnesses and witness statements prepared for the appeal and the bundles of documents for both parties.
