Immigration Appeals

Immigration Appeals – Expert Representation for Home Office Refusals

If your UK visa or immigration application has been refused, you may still have the right to challenge the decision through an Immigration Appeal. At The McKenzie Friend, we provide professional guidance and representation throughout the appeal process — ensuring your case is heard fairly and presented with precision before the tribunal.

We understand how stressful a refusal can be. Our team helps individuals, families, and businesses prepare strong, evidence-based appeals to overturn unfair Home Office decisions and secure the outcome they deserve.

What Is an Immigration Appeal?

An immigration appeal allows you to challenge a Home Office decision before an independent judge at the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber). The judge reviews the decision, considers your evidence, and determines whether it was made correctly under UK law.

You may be able to appeal against decisions involving:

• Visa refusals (family, spouse, work, or student)
• Asylum and humanitarian protection claims
• Human rights (Article 8 – right to family and private life)
• Deportation or removal orders
• Revocation of leave to remain or indefinite leave to remain

Our Appeal Process

We take a structured, evidence-driven approach to each case to maximise the chances of success:

1. Case Assessment: We analyse your refusal letter and identify the legal or procedural errors made by the Home Office.
2. Appeal Preparation: Our team prepares the appeal forms, bundles, and legal arguments for submission to the tribunal.
3. Evidence Collection: We assist with gathering supporting documents, witness statements, and expert reports.
4. Hearing Representation: We support and represent you at your tribunal hearing to ensure your arguments are clearly presented.
5. Post-Decision Guidance: If needed, we help you appeal further to the Upper Tribunal or consider a Judicial Review.

Appeal Deadlines

Appeals must be submitted quickly — missing the deadline could forfeit your right to challenge the decision. Generally, you have:

• 14 days to appeal if you are in the UK
• 28 days to appeal if you are outside the UK

Our team ensures your appeal is lodged correctly and within the required time limits to protect your rights.
