Immigration Appeals
and Tribunal Representation
and clear communication at every stage.
If your immigration application has been refused, you may still have the right to appeal. The appeal process can be complex, time-sensitive, and legally demanding. We provide professional legal support throughout the tribunal process, helping you present a strong case with clear arguments and fully prepared documentation.
We support clients in appeals to the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal with fixed fees, realistic guidance, and clear communication at every stage.
Who can appeal?
You may have a right of appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) if your immigration decision involved
- A refusal of a human rights or asylum claim
- A deportation or removal decision
- A revocation of protection or settled status
- A decision under the EU Settlement Scheme
- A family or partner visa refusal with appeal rights
of appeal. If so, we can begin preparing immediately.
How the appeal process works
If you are inside the UK, you usually have 14 calendar days from the date of the decision to appeal.
If you are outside the UK, you generally have 28 calendar days.
Appeals are submitted to the First-tier Tribunal with legal arguments, documents, and a full bundle.
The tribunal may decide your appeal on the papers or hold a hearing. You may attend the hearing with
or without legal representation. We will help you decide what approach is best for your case.

Why professional legal help matters
Immigration appeals are often refused due to incomplete evidence, weak legal grounds, or procedural mistakes.
We help you avoid these risks by

With no automatic right of appeal in many future decisions, getting this right matters.
