Person or Paper Appeal

[JS28]

Hi All,

My partner got refused for Tier 2 Dependant Visa but we have been given the right of appeal.

Would you recommend person or paper appeal?

Thank you

Would you recommend person or paper appeal?

In person appeal costs £60 more then paper appeal, but you stand a better chance to win the appeal if you have a good case against the decision. I'd go for appeal in person

Good Luck

What is it like going for the person? I mean do you get the decision straight away if it is clear? Also, do they ask questions?

I am the partner so I can represent my partner in court can't I?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Some decisions are given straight a way, some are informed next day by post. Yes they ask questions and you can speak for your partner. It is going to be a tribunal and fairly informal court setup. But I'd consult a solicitor both to lodge the appeal and to represent you at the court

How much will I be paying for the solicitor? Also, if I apply for person, Do I have to send the documents in the post or just the application form and the fee and then appear when they ask and bring the documents?

Solicitor fees depends on the person and the case. It might vary from £100 to £500 or even £1000. But try some people first without giving up on it as it is expensive. It will pay back!

If you have documents, I guess it is okay to send any supporting documents with the application. I am not very competent to give an idea on that though.

But, you have to bare one thing in mind which is that the tribunal is only allowed to consider the documents with were available to the UKBA at the time when they were making the decision. Any new documents will be ignored!!

That's incorrect for dependants' appeals.

So, I cannot send new documents? I did not send our communications and pictures during the time of application since I thought it would have been considered that she applied for a civil partnership visit visa and submitted the same evidence.

Sorry, vinny should be right..! I am not familiar with dependent visas.

Your appeal is most likely to be successful if you get legal representation.When i was in court the HOPO asks questions my barrister asked me a few questions and the judge asked me some questions to.

The HOPO or home office "lawyers" are out to catch you out.It is vital your evidence is consistent through out even if it inconvenient.

Your barrister will put your case to the judge in the best possible way.Neither you or your barrister are allowed to ask the HOPO questions.

Good luck with your appeal i wish you the best in whatever decision you make.
