Simple task of not using the prescribed forms can mean your application is invalid, which means if you have no valid stay, you would have to return back and there is no appeal rights.

Our initial consultations are a chargeable service. We initially discuss the requirements of the application to ensure you meet the requirements and have the documentation required at hand for the submission. It gives you an opportunity to meet us and ask questions.

Each case will be checked thoroughly, everything will be cross referenced so guidelines are met and we will also add our legal document which would outline the Immigration Rules and how the client has satisfied the rules. We use documents that are used by Home Office case workers, so we know exactly what they would look for in your case.

We never compromise our services, our fees remain very competitive but our expertise is at the very highest standard.

What is a customer care letter?

A customer care letter from us will ensure that we outline the service we would be providing, it would also provide a break down of the costs associated so you can rest assure that there are no hidden charges and that fees do not go up unless changes are made (i.e. Home Office fees etc).

Immigration Appeals & Visa Refusal - Right of Appeal?
We are proud to say that we have pooled together the wealth of experience and knowledge of our team and as a result, have developed an impressive track record in winning immigration appeals. We have also obtained outstanding results for clients following lodging appeal grounds for the immigration appeal, where decisions have been overturned, without the matter actually reaching the Immigration Tribunal.

Further to this, with many of the immigration appeals that actually do proceed to a full appeal hearing, a large number of them are allowed on the day itself, which is excellent. This saves time and stress for the client and we work hard to front load immigration appeals so the other side has all of the facts very early on in the appeal process. We believe this is good practice and place our client's interest first.

Immigration Appeals from Overseas

If you are overseas and have applied for a UK visa which has been refused, you will have 28 days to appeal this decision from receipt if you have been granted a right of appeal (depending on the method of service). The appeal must be lodged before this date expires.

What happens at an Immigration Appeal Hearing?

When you appeal, your case is heard by an Immigration Judge who is independent. Where listed for an appeal and the case actually proceeds to a full hearing, the Immigration Judge considers the arguments raised from both sides. When heard orally, cases can be put forward fully. The client or sponsor (or both) have the chance to give live evidence before a Judge ensuring the matter is heard.

Deciding, what to do?

Although pursuing an immigration appeal may be an option in certain circumstances, we will advise you as to whether an appeal or a fresh application, if possible and/or applicable, is best for you. Appeals are often an effective remedy as UKVI officers at times make errors when considering applications and make decisions which are inaccurate or irrational for example.

Mandatory Re-Entry Bans

Further, another recent introduction into the UK Immigration Law System is that of re-entry bans. Depending on your circumstances in the UK and/or how you left the UK (i.e. overstayers, illegal entrants, etc.) and what category you're seeking to return, you can face a re-entry ban of between 1 year, 5 years or 10 years depending on your circumstances. In such cases, ignorance really is no defence. The effects are very serious and can have massive repercussions from often innocent mistakes. As experienced UK Immigration Lawyers, we have practical experience in successfully handling such decisions and overturning them.

ICS Legal are experts at spotting such errors and challenging them successfully.
