In an unfortunate event of a refusal of visa application, there may be a right of appeal to the first-tier tribunal in the UK. In most cases, it is imperative that the right of appeal is exercised cautiously and expert advice is sought by an Immigration Solicitor.
If your visa application has been refused by Home Office from outside the country, you may be able to appeal to the First-Tier Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber if you have reasons to believe there was an error with the immigration decision.
Please note that not all visa applications carry a right of appeal to the first-tier tribunal (Asylum & Immigration Chambers). You may, however, be able to submit an administrative review against refusal of Point-based system visa applications.
For Out-Country Appeals, Within 28 days of receiving the immigration refusal letter, you can appeal against the immigration decision of the Entry Clearance Officer (Visa Officer), if the applicant is given the right of appeal against the entry clearance application refusal.
Submission of the Notice of appeal can be sent to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) in the UK or to the British Embassy or High Commission or Consulate in the appellant’s country of origin.
It is important to note that there may be times where the best option and/or route going forward is to make a fresh decision.
In other words, appealing a decision may not always be the best option. There may be times where a fresh visa application could be the best course of action.
Please contact us for immigration advice if you are unsure about your appeal rights against refusal of visa.
IN-COUNTRY APPEALS TO FIRST-TIER TRIBUNAL IAC
For In-Country Appeals, within 14 calendar days from the date of Notice of Refusal, the Applicants must lodge their appeals to the First-Tier Tribunal (Immigration & Asylum Chamber).
The Immigration Tribunals are quite strict in adhering to the deadline of 14 days and one has to give a good reason, in case of any delays.
There are still a few categories of immigration applications that trigger a right of appeal against the notice of refusal by the Home Office, which includes but is not limited to Human Rights application, Spouse Visa Application, and EEA applications.
It is mandatory for the home office to give reasons of refusal along with the notice of the decision and to inform the applicant about their rights of appeal, if applicable.
The reasons of refusal shall disclose all the issues/concerns of the Home office which have been identified by the immigration or Visa officer on the basis of the information/documents provided by the applicant or the information already held on record by the Home Office.
Step 1 – Grounds of Immigration Appeal
The Appellant must carefully draft the grounds of appeal on which he may rely in his appeal to the First-Tier Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber.
This is an opportunity for the appellant to address all the concerns and issues raised by the visa officer in the notice of the decision and the reasons for the refusal of the immigration application.
Drafting grounds of appeal is a specialized area of immigration work and should therefore be left for the experts to handle.
Time Frame to lodge an Immigration Appeal
Out-Country Immigration Appeals
All out-country appellants are given 28 calendar days and in-country are given 14 days to lodge appeals to the First-Tier Tribunal (Immigration & Asylum Chamber).
Step 2 – Court Hearings & Preparation of Appeal bundles in First Tier Tribunal
Once an Immigration appeal is lodged in the First Tier Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber along with the grounds of appeal, the Asylum & Immigration Tribunal schedules the appeal for a full court hearing.
The location of the court depends on the address of the appellant or in case of an out-country appeal on the address of the sponsor or the legal representatives.
Court hearings take place on the scheduled date and venue unless a very good reason is presented to seek adjournment of the court hearing.
The appellant or his legal representatives need to prepare a bundle of documents for the appeal hearing that is generally sent at least 5 working days before the court hearing.
The bundle should include the witness statement of the appellant (if in-country) or the sponsor or any other witnesses that the appellant wishes to present to the First Tier Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber, a chronology of relevant events, skeleton arguments, and all the documents relevant to the issues raised in the notice of the decision or the reasons of refusal.
It is really important to advise the witnesses of the appeal to be well prepared for the hearing and what to expect on the court hearing date. It has often occurred that the witnesses get confused or panic just because they were oblivious to the court procedures or were asked unexpected questions.

PERMISSION TO APPEAL TO THE FIRST TIER TRIBUNAL FOR APPEAL TO THE UPPER TRIBUNAL (ASYLUM & IMMIGRATION)
In an immigration appeal, there may be three courses of action that the Ld. Immigration Judge of the First Tier Tribunal (Asylum & Immigration Chamber) may take:
He may allow the appeal
He may dismiss the appeal
The matter may be remitted to the Home Office for reconsideration.
If the immigration appeal is allowed, it means that the appellant has been successful in the immigration appeal and the Home Office (if decides not to appeal further) will then take steps to implement the Ld. Immigration judge’s decision.
If the immigration appeal is dismissed, it means that the appellant has not been successful in his appeal and has a right to seek permission to appeal from the First-Tier Tribunal for an appeal to the Upper Tribunal (UT).
In the third scenario, the Immigration Judge may remit the matter back to the Home Office for a fresh decision.
This will result in the making of a fresh decision by the Home Office and another right of appeal if the refusal decision is maintained for some other reason.
Whatever the decision may be, the Immigration Judge gives a detailed and reasoned decision of the Immigration Appeal, and should that be a dismissal, it needs to be looked into carefully to assess the merits of going further in the appeal process.
