Challenging Home Office decisions through Immigration appeals
- We know how our client’s feel when their visa is refused, or a Sponsor Licence application had either been rejected or revoked.
- Normally, you are either given 14 days or 28 days in most matters to challenge decisions.
- If you have not been given a right to appeal, for example, you have applied for a visit visa, then we would normally challenge matters through a Judicial
- Review process.
In all decisions, Home Office must ensure they serve a written refusal letter and explain their reasons on why the application had been refused.
This is a helpful document, as in most cases, the decisions reached was wrong in law.
