Our Appeal Services

Appealing the immigration decision and the General Process

Various immigration applications attract a right of appeal. The appeal process can be daunting and difficult to understand.

Depending on where you applied from, the length of time you have to appeal will vary, therefore it is essential to seek legal advice straight away.

Once the appeal has been submitted then you are usually required to submit a witness statement and bundle of supporting evidence prior to the appeal hearing.

We have extensive experience in dealing with immigration appeals and are able to advise you on the merits of an appeal and the appeal process.
