Appeals to First Tier Tribunal

If you have received a decision from the Home Office refusing your protection claim, human rights claim, or revoking your protection status, it’s important to know that you may have the right to challenge this decision through an immigration appeal. We understand that receiving a negative decision can be distressing, and you may feel uncertain about your next steps. Rest assured, we are here to guide you through the process and help you secure the best possible outcome for your case.

The immigration appeal process in the UK is your opportunity to have your case heard by the First-tier Tribunal (FTT). Depending on where you are located, the deadlines for filing your appeal can vary. If you’re appealing from within the UK, you must submit your appeal within 14 days of receiving the notice of the decision. If you are outside the UK, you have 28 days from receiving the notice to file your appeal. Missing these deadlines can jeopardise your appeal, so it’s essential to act quickly and ensure that all required paperwork is submitted on time.

There are many different types of immigration appeals that can be filed with the First-tier Tribunal (FTT), and each serves a specific purpose depending on your situation. Understanding which type of appeal applies to you is key to making sure your case is presented correctly. Some common examples of immigration appeals you may need to consider include:

•Entry Clearance Appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (FTT): If your visa application or entry clearance request has been refused, this is the type of appeal you may need to file. It gives you the opportunity to challenge the refusal and demonstrate why you should be granted entry to the UK.

•Appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (FTT) After Leaving the UK (Out of Country Appeals): If you have already left the UK and your immigration application was refused, you can still file an appeal from abroad. We can help you navigate the process and advise you on how to proceed with an out-of-country appeal.

•In-Country Non-Asylum Immigration Appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (FTT): If you’re currently in the UK and your visa or immigration status has been refused, this type of appeal allows you to challenge the decision and remain in the UK while your appeal is considered.
