Certain categories of UK visa
applications, including family
visits and settlement,
attract full rights of
appeal.
Reasons for refusing an
application for a visa are
explained in the Notice of
Immigration Decision sent out
to the visa applicant. Appeal
rights are also stated on the
Notice of Refusal. If the
applicant wishes to make an
appeal, he / she should file
completed appeal forms. The
appeal forms need to be
completed in English, and the
applicant needs to include
the Notice of Immigration
Decision and the Notice of
Appeal Form.
An appellant has 28 calendar
days to file an appeal from
the day of service with the
decision on his / her visa
application.
Appeals are determined in the
UK by an Immigration Judge
appointed by the First-tier
Tribunal (Immigration and
Asylum Chamber).
The applicant has no control
over when his / her Appeal
may be heard. Time taken may
depend on a number of
factors. This includes the
type of case (family visitor,
settlement), whether the
applicant has asked for the
case to be heard orally or in
writing.
Visitor appeals are usually
heard within 6 months of
being lodged; for other
categories, including
settlement, it may take up to
9 months.
Filing an appeal is a highly
complex and technical matter
and only an expert familiar
with the laws as well as
rules and procedures is
likely to pull it through.

experience in Administrative
Review and Appeal Process and

multiple refusals in the
