Appeal Cases
After refusals by the Home Office, we provide services in relation to appeals and reconsideration
appeals to the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal and the Court of Appeal:
• Judicial review matters at the court
• When you are refused leave, it is important to seek the advice of experienced immigration
solicitors or advisers to know what options are available to you. While the Home Office is obliged to
notify of appeal rights refused applicants may have, they do not necessarily do so in all cases.
• It is also important to contact an adviser as soon as you receive a refusal decision, where
there is a right of appeal. You may lose this right to appeal if you appeal outside the stated time limit
unless you can establish that delay was not your fault. This may be difficult to prove sometimes if
the Home Office has evidence to confirm that you were served with refusal papers by posting them
to your last address or to your previous solicitors or representatives.
