We are proud to say that we have pooled together the wealth of experience and knowledge of our team and as a result, have developed an impressive track record in winning immigration appeals. We have also obtained outstanding results for clients following lodging appeal grounds for the immigration appeal, where decsions have been overturned, without the matter actually reaching the Tribunal.Further to this, with many of the immigration appeals that actually do proceed to a full appeal hearing, a large number of them are allowed on the day itself, which is excellent. This saves time and stress for the client and we work hard to front load immigration appeals so the other side has all of the facts very early on in the appeal process. We believe this is good practice and place our clients interest first.Immigration Appeals from Overseas If you are overseas and have applied for a UK visa which has been refused, you will have 28 days to appeal this decision from receipt if you have been granted a right of appeal (depending on method of service). The appeal must be lodged before this date expires. What Happens at an Immigration Appeal? When you appeal, your case is heard by an Immigration Judge who is independent. If listed for an appeal and the case actually proceeds to hearing, arguments are heard from both sides. When heard orally, cases can be put forward fully. The client or sponsor (or both) have the chance to give live evidence before a judge.Deciding, what to do? Although pursuing an immigration appeal may be an option in certain circumstances, we will advise you as to whether an appeal or a fresh application, if possible and / or applicable, is best for you. Appeals are often an effective remedy as UKBA officers sometimes make mistakes when considering applications and make decisions which are inaccurate or irrational for example.Mandatory Re-Entry Bans Further, another recent introduction into the UK Immigration Law System is that of re-entry bans. Depending on your circumstances in the UK and/or how you left the UK (i.e. overstayers, illegal entrants, etc.) and what category you’re seeking to return, you can face a re-entry ban of between 1 year, 5 years or 10 years depending on your circumstances. In such cases, ignorance really is no defence. The effects are very serious and can have massive repercussions from often innocent mistakes. As UK MIGRATION LAWYERS however we have practical experience in successfully handling such decisions and overturning them. ICS Legal is experts at spotting such errors and challenging them successfully. The Benefits of Appealing an Immigration Decision:
