Your application has been refused

We assess whether the refusal stands and appeal — administratively or before the administrative court — within the deadline.

Appealing an immigration refusal

What is included

  • Reading the decision and the specific grounds of refusal
  • An honest recommendation between appealing and refiling
  • Drafting and filing the appeal, with follow-up to the decision

What is included and what is not promised

A refusal has an appeal deadline and, once it passes, becomes final even if you were right. The first step is not appealing: it is reading the decision and seeing whether the ground can be dismantled or whether refiling properly is better.

What it includes: reading the decision and the specific grounds of refusal; an honest recommendation between appealing and refiling; drafting and filing the appeal, with follow-up to the decision. What it does not include: we cannot guarantee the appeal succeeds: it is decided by the authority or, where relevant, by the administrative court.

Documents you will need

  • The full refusal decision, with its notification.
  • The application filed and the documents that went with it.
  • Any earlier request and the answer given.

Indicative timing

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 4 and 10 working days.

An administrative appeal usually resolves within months; silence has its own effect and a court claim adds its own calendar.

See the pricing page for how we charge this kind of matter.

How it works

Estimated duration: 10 days.

  1. We identify the exact procedure

    We read the refusal and tell you honestly whether it is better to appeal or to reapply with a corrected file.

  2. Document list and quote

    We ask for the decision with its notification date and the application you filed. Agreed price for the chosen route.

  3. Filing and receipt

    We draft and file the administrative appeal or the court appeal, within the deadline stated in the notice.

  4. Tracking and corrections

    We follow until the appeal is decided and explain what it means and which option remains if it is rejected.

What to have at hand

  • The full refusal decision, with its notification
  • The application filed and the documents that went with it
  • Any earlier request and the answer given

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth appealing?

Sometimes not, and refiling with the defect fixed is better and faster. We tell you with the decision in front of us.

How long do I have?

It depends which appeal applies. Write with the notification date and we check today.

What if they never answer the appeal?

Silence has its effect and opens the administrative court route. We tell you when it is worth triggering.
