However, a refusal doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the road. At Visa and Migration Ltd, we specialise in helping individuals and families challenge refusals through a structured and effective appeal process.
Why Was Your Spouse Visa Refused?
Understanding the reason for the refusal is the first step toward a successful outcome. Common reasons include:
Incomplete or inconsistent documentation
Failure to meet the financial requirements
Insufficient evidence of a genuine relationship
Issues with English language proficiency
You’ll receive a refusal letter outlining the specific grounds. It’s crucial to review this carefully before deciding your next steps.
Can You Appeal a Spouse Visa Refusal?
In most cases, yes. If your application was made from outside the UK and refused under human rights grounds, you typically have a right to appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber).
Key steps in the appeal process:
Lodging the appeal: Must be done within 28 days from the date of refusal.
Gathering evidence: Strengthen your case with updated or additional documents.
Attending the hearing: You (or your representative) may be asked to appear in person or remotely.
Receiving the decision: A judge will determine whether the refusal should be overturned.
Should You Reapply or Appeal?
Sometimes, a fresh application may be quicker and more cost-effective, particularly if the refusal was based on missing documents. However, if the decision was legally incorrect, appealing might offer better long-term success. Expert legal advice is vital to decide the best course of action.
