It is really daunting if your UK spouse visa refused by the Home Office/UKVI, but do not worry, as UK spouse visa refusal will generate a right of appeal. 

Due to the frequent changes in the immigration rules, every visa category is getting more complicated day by day; therefore, we suggest you kindly obtain expert immigration advice before you proceed with any sort of visa application.

UK Spouse Visa Refused Outside the United Kingdom (UK)

If you have made an application to the entry clearance officer at any of the British High Commissions and your UK spouse visa got refused, then, first of all, you must read a refusal letter, as the second page of the refusal letter says whether you have got full rights of appeal or limited rights of appeal.

Through our previous experience, we have noticed that a significant number of applicants face the refusal due to the error or omission of the entry clearance officer, who are unable to consider the documentary evidence provided on the balance of probabilities.

Spouse Visa Refused Inside the United Kingdom (UK)

If your UK spouse’s visa application has been refused by the Secretary of State within the United Kingdom, then you may get a full right of appeal. If you wish to appeal against the decision of the Secretary of State, then we humbly request you kindly forward us your refusal letter. Once we receive your notice of refusal letter, then we will assess your case, and professional solicitors will advise with the merits and demerits of the entire case.

Please be advised that you can either lodge your UK spouse visa refused:

a) Oral appeal: which will cost £140.00 for every single applicant (just to lodge an appeal tribunal fee). The oral hearing will either be heard in person at the Immigration and Asylum Tribunal or remotely. To lodge an oral appeal, you must file the grounds of appeal, appeal skeleton arguments, and witness statements of everyone willing to give evidence in the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal, including you. Then you have to file an index to bundle at the court. Once the appeal against the UK spouse visa refused is heard by the Learned Immigration Judge, then the determination will be served on you within 14 days normally, but sometimes it may take longer as well.

b) Paper appeal: It will cost you £80.00 for every single applicant (just to lodge an appeal tribunal fee). In the case of a paper appeal against the UK spouse visa refused it will be determined on papers only, and there will be no in-person hearing or remote hearing.

Benefits of a UK Immigration Appeal:

a) The possibility of the spouse visa being granted

b) You can convince the Judge in person at the time of the hearing

c) Sometimes cheaper than making a fresh application
