  • Appeals

    UK Border Agency produce guidance explaining who has the right of appeal if their visa or other entry clearance for the United Kingdom (UK) has been refused. If you are refused you will get a refusal notice which states if you have the right of appeal and how to make such an appeal.

    Where can I get independent advice?

    You can contact the Immigration Advisory Service (IAS). The IAS is a voluntary organisation independent of government that can provide confidential advice for you and your representatives.

    The IAS can help you decide whether or not to make an appeal. It can also represent you at a hearing.

    You may be entitled to have your representative paid for by the Legal Services Commission's Community Legal Service (CLS). To find out if you qualify for this funding pleas contact:

    Legal Services Commission
    85 Gray's Inn Road
    London
    WC1X 8TX
    United Kingdom
    Telephone (+44) (0) 845 608 1122

    Please do not send your appeal to the Legal Services Commission. You should always send your appeal to Asylum and Immigration Tribunal or the British High Commission where your visa application was refused.
