Appeals and Administrative

Unfortunately, sometimes an immigration application is refused, and you may need to challenge it through an appeal or through the Administrative Review process. Receiving a negative immigration decision can be stressful and it is important that you act quickly because there are strict deadlines to comply with.

If your application was for a family visa, or made under the EEA Regulations, or you made a protection claim you will have a right of appeal. Refusals of points-based system applications  or for a business immigration visa must be challenged through Administrative Review.
