Immigration Appeal Process in the UK: Everything You Need to Know

Under UK immigration law, individuals who have been denied entry or exit from the United Kingdom by a court or government agency have an option to challenge the decision. This is vital to the legal system, and we feel that allowing migrants to fully pursue their appeal rights is necessary.

What is an Immigration Appeal?

Home Office is in charge of UK immigration, which includes making decisions on all applications and deciding whether or not an individual’s immigration status should be cancelled or expelled.

If you disagree with a decision made by the Home Office, you may be able to take your case to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber). If the Tribunal decides to consider the immigration appeal, additional information can be provided, and an unbiased immigration judge will evaluate whether the Home Office’s call was correct or not.

An appeal to the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) may be available if the appellant or the Home Office loses the immigration appeal. However, this can only be done in cases when the First-tier Tribunal’s decision may have been illegal.

Right of Appeal

Decisions by the Home Office aren’t always subject to appeal. You have a right to appeal if:

  • If your application is rejected by the Home Office, you can appeal within the United Kingdom.
  • Making a case for international assistance (an asylum claim).
  • The submission of an application for EU Settled Status after January 31, 2020.
  • A claim for human rights.

 

Grounds for Appeal

For an immigration appeal, you must specify which “grounds” you depend on when you file it. If you’re filing an appeal, you must state the following reasons or legal justification for doing so:

  • As a result of your removal or revocation of your refugee status, the United Kingdom would be in breach of its international duties as a refugee or under the Human Rights Act.
  • Section 6 of the Human Rights Act says that the decision is unconstitutional.
  • There has been an error in applying EU law to this decision involving EEA nationals.

Refusal of a visa to enter the United Kingdom can be appealed.
