Immigration Appeals
What Happens If My Application Is Refused?
If your UK immigration application is refused, you may have options to challenge the decision or submit a new application with additional evidence. However, the Immigration Act 2014 has significantly restricted appeal rights, making it essential to seek advice from experienced immigration specialists.
At RomanianWorkers, we provide expert guidance to help you navigate the complex appeals process and protect your rights.
Options for Challenging a Refusal
Depending on the type of application, you may have one of the following options:
1. Administrative Review
An administrative review allows you to request reconsideration of the decision. You must submit the review within 14 days of receiving the refusal, providing detailed reasons why the decision is incorrect, supported by evidence already included in your original application. New information is generally not allowed, and a processing fee is required. Our team will carefully prepare your administrative review to maximize your chances of success.
2. Appeals to the Immigration & Asylum Chamber
If you have the right to appeal, this is typically heard at the First Tier Tribunal. The process involves submitting a notice of appeal with full grounds and the required fee, preparing witness statements and supporting documents, and attending a hearing where you may provide oral evidence. If the First Tier Tribunal refuses your appeal, further appeals can be made to the Upper Tribunal, but only if there is an error of law. Our experts will ensure your case is thoroughly prepared and effectively represented throughout the tribunal process.
3. Judicial Review
If your refusal includes no right to appeal or is conditional upon leaving the UK, you can challenge the decision through Judicial Review. This process involves examining the decision for procedural errors or unfair treatment and submitting a claim if no other legal remedies are available. Our experienced team specializes in handling Judicial Reviews, safeguarding your rights even in the most complex situations.
