UK Spouse Visa Appeals

UK Spouse Visa Appeal Specialists

Was your spouse visa refused? Don’t despair, we can help swiftly and successfully.

The first thing we want to stress is to try not to panic. You can relax in the knowledge that more that 95% of the appeals we take on are successfully overturned. In fact, in most cases, we win the appeal before our case reaches court because the UKVI withdraws their decision and grants the visa. However, you must act quickly as the clock is ticking and you may have at most, 28 days to appeal.

UK Spouse Visa Appeals

You thought that you ticked all the boxes. You’re earning enough to support your spouse and your children. You have suitable living accommodation. And your English is of a good standard. So when you applied for your UK Spouse Visa, you expected to be approved. Yet instead your Visa application was refused.

To receive a rejection can be distressing, and we completely understand the frustration you’re probably feeling at remaining separated from your partner. This guide will help you make sense as to the reasons why your Spouse Visa may have been refused. It also tells you where you should turn next, and why you should consider expert immigration help for the best chance of a successful appeal.

“Why has my UK Spouse Visa been refused?”

There are a wide range of reasons as to why your UK Spouse Visa may have been refused, some of the most common include:

 -You failed the English language requirement test

 -You failed to meet the income requirement

 -You applied for the wrong type of Visa for your circumstances

 -You organised your documents incorrectly

 -You haven’t disclosed your convictions

 -You’ve been given incorrect advice by an immigration firm

 -You didn’t utilise our services for the original application

It’s important to note that immigration officials are incredibly strict when it comes to the processing of Visas. This means that even a relatively minor mistake on your application can result in a refusal. The default position of the UKVI is to look for reasons to refuse an application rather than approve.

The UK Spouse Visa Refusal Appeal Process

Step 1 – Lodge Appeal

You must submit any appeal to the Immigration Asylum Chamber within 28 days of receiving the decision notice to refuse your application for applications submitted abroad; or within 14 days for applications submitted from within the UK.

Drafting the correct grounds of appeal is very important to get right. Not including the correct grounds may result in your appeal not being accepted and therefore not having the best chances of success.

Here at Swift Immigration we often draft comprehensive grounds of appeal with the relevant supporting documentation which means often many decision are overturned without the need to move on to the stages below or a full hearing. This obviously will save you a lot of stress, time and money.

Step 2 – Case Preparation

Once you have lodged your appeal you will need to think about putting forward the strongest case possible to the Immigration Tribunal. Your appeal will be heard by an impartial Immigration Judge so it is important to organise and present your appeal documentation in a clear and concise manner. We will assist by reviewing your application documents and advising on what additional documents may be permissible to submit.

Step 3 – Attendance at Tribunal hearing

If the initial decision is not overturned then the matter will be heard at a full Immigration Tribunal hearing here in the UK.  The Sponsor will need to attend and if you wish to do so then instruct a legal representative to attend on your behalf. We recommend taking along with you one of our legal experts to represent you at the hearing so they can present your appeal in the best possible manner.

 

What are my options?

In most cases, we will be able to strongly challenge the appeal, however their may be certain situations in which it may be more advantageous or appropriate to resubmit a new application rather than appeal the decision, we will thoroughly review your case and provide our expert solicitors and barristers opinion.
