Appeals to the First-tier Tribunal

The First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) is the initial venue for challenging immigration decisions. Our services include:

Appeal Preparation: Assisting with the preparation of your appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, including drafting and submitting the notice of appeal.

Case Review: Reviewing the grounds for appeal and gathering evidence to support your case, including documentation and witness statements.

Representation: Providing representation at the appeal hearing, presenting your case effectively and addressing any legal issues or concerns raised by the Tribunal.

Hearing Preparation: Preparing you for the hearing, including advising on the presentation of evidence and strategies for addressing key issues.

Permission to Appeal to the Upper Tribunal

If your appeal is unsuccessful at the First-tier Tribunal, you may seek permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal. Our services for this process include:

Permission Application: Assisting with the application for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal, including drafting a detailed application outlining the grounds for appeal.

Legal Arguments: Identifying and presenting strong legal arguments to demonstrate that the First-tier Tribunal’s decision was incorrect or flawed.

Supporting Evidence: Gathering and organizing additional evidence or documentation needed to support your application for permission to appeal.

Submission and Follow-Up: Handling the submission of your permission application and addressing any requests for further information or clarification from the Upper Tribunal.

Appeals to the Upper Tribunal

If permission to appeal is granted, the Upper Tribunal will review the decision made by the First-tier Tribunal. Our services include:

Appeal Preparation: Preparing your case for the Upper Tribunal, including drafting legal submissions and organizing evidence to challenge the First-tier Tribunal’s decision.

Representation: Providing expert representation at the Upper Tribunal hearing, presenting arguments and addressing any legal issues raised by the Tribunal.

Outcome Assessment: Analysing the Upper Tribunal’s decision and advising on potential further actions or appeals if the decision is unfavourable.

Key Considerations for Appeals

When pursuing appeals, keep in mind the following:

Time Limits: Appeals must be lodged within specific time limits following the original decision or refusal, typically within 14 days for most cases.

Grounds for Appeal: Clearly identifying and articulating the grounds for appeal is crucial, whether challenging errors of law, procedural irregularities, or factual inaccuracies.

Permission Requirements: For appeals to the Upper Tribunal, obtaining permission to appeal is required. This involves demonstrating that the case involves an important legal issue or a significant error.
