In case of Spouse Entry Clearance application this is a heart breaking situation, as the applicant will have to wait few extra months before they can join his / her spouse in the UK.

Sky Solicitors can help you in this difficult situation. In the unfortunate situation where the application is refused, a Right of Appeal is given. However there are some categories where there is No Right to Appeal the decision. Thus we will have to apply a different approach. Such as Admin Review, Pre Action Protocol or a Judicial Review.

Appeals are an overly complex area of law and the appeal process must be handled by an immigration expert. If your application (for entry clearance, further leave to remain, settlement, Spouse/marriage visa, child visa, or human rights visa) has been refused. Our immigration solicitors can assist you by lodging an appeal against the decision made by the Home Office.

Initially you can appeal to First tier tribunal if the Home Office has:

• Refused your protection claim
• Refused you a visa application / residence document or decided to deport you
• Revoked your British citizenship

We have come across so many situations where a person applied for his application to the Home Office but there is a delay in the decision. The decision time varies from application to application. If we take an example of a Further Leave to Remain applications: Normally the Home Office states that they will make a decision with in 6 months, however, the decision sometimes can take more than a year.

We have experts who know how to expedite the process and to get you Visa as soon as possible. We have done it from many of our clients and now they are happy living with their families.

Another example of delay could be: When your Entry Clearance Appeal is allowed and the home office takes month before issuing the visa. In such cases, contact us immediately and we will help you expedite the process so that you can join your family in the UK.
