Appeal form
The Home Office will send an appeal form and guidance notes to you with their decision to refuse your application. If you need a copy of the appeal form, contact our customer service centre on 0845 6000 877.
All documents in other languages must be translated into English, signed by the translator to certify that the translation is accurate and the translation attached to the original document.
Make copies of the completed form and all documents that support your appeal, keep a copy and send a copy of the completed form and the documents to:
Asylum and Immigration TribunalPO Box 7866
Loughborough
LE11 2XZ
Fax 01509 221699
Your appeal form must reach us;
- within 5 working days from the day you received the notice of decision if you are in detention; or
- within 10 working days from the day you received the notice of decision if you are not in detention.
The date you receive the notice of decision by post is two days after the date on the notice.
If your appeal does not reach us by the required date, you must explain why you were not able to submit it in time. The reasons will then be assessed to decide whether there are special circumstances that allow your appeal to proceed.
If you are outside the United Kingdom and wish to appeal against the decision of an entry clearance officer, you may also give notice of appeal by serving it on the entry clearance officer.
Please note if you are outside the United Kingdom your appeal will not be listed for hearing until after the entry clearance officer has considered the appeal papers and prepared an explanatory statement giving full details of the reasons for refusal.
