UK Spouse Visa Refusal: Right to Appeal

There have been many cases where the Home Office has refused a spouse visa application to go to the UK. If you are facing the same situation, there are chances that you can exercise your right to appeal to contest the refusal.

An appeal can be filed in case of spouse visa refusal if the refusal letter mentions the same. You can file for an appeal if you want to challenge the grounds on which the UK Visa was refused and have evidence to back your claims.

The Appeal for UK Spouse Visa Refusal can be filed from the UK or from outside the UK. It is filed with the First Tier Tribunal within 28 days if you are outside the UK and 14 days if you are inside the UK.
In case of appeal, the applicant can provide additional evidence and information to back their claim. They can include information with their appeal notice they may not be clarified in the UK Visa refusal notice.

The applicant needs to send the evidence along with the appeal form and refusal notice to the First Tier Tribunal within the stipulated time period. Once the appeal notice is filed, the Entry Clearance Officer will once again review their decision. The applicant will receive the decision on the appeal in writing from the Immigration Judge.
