Tribunal Appeal
Your refusal letter should state whether you have been granted a right of immigration appeal. The right to appeal a refusal decision has been significantly restricted by the introduction of the Immigration Act 2014 and so it is important to ascertain whether or not your refusal decision still attracts an automatic right of appeal. If you have been granted a right of appeal you may opt for a Tribunal Appeal hearing. This will give you an opportunity to present your case in front of a tribunal who will then decide whether or not your appeal should be allowed. Our specialist solicitors have extensive experience in dealing with tribunal appeal matters and can take full conduct of your immigration appeal from the outset to its conclusion.
Administrative Review
Your refusal letter should state whether you have a right to administrative review. The time limits for lodging an application for administrative review are very stringent and so you should act quickly to avoid compromising any future representations you or your legal representative may wish to make. If you have been granted an option for administrative review, this will give you an opportunity to make written representations to challenge the grounds on which your application has been refused and request for the decision to be reviewed in light of your representations. Our specialist solicitors can fully advise you and take full conduct of your administrative review matter from the outset through to its conclusion.
Reconsideration Request
If you have not been granted a right of appeal or an option for administrative review you may still ask for your refusal decision to be reconsidered if you have viable grounds to do so. One of our specialist solicitors will carefully examine your refusal letter to highlight any matters which could render the refusal decision to be unsafe and therefore justify for the decision to be reconsidered.
Legacy Request
You are eligible to make a ‘Legacy Request’ if you had submitted a reconsideration request before the 13th November 2012 and you have not received a substantive response from the Home Office.
Judicial Review
If you have received a refusal decision and have no right of appeal and have exhausted all your appeal rights you may still have recourse to Judicial Review proceedings. The purpose of judicial review is to review the lawfulness of a decision. The proceedings are before either the High Court or Upper Tribunal. One of our specialist solicitors will review your case and advise you if Judicial Review is a viable option in your case.
