My husband/wife phoned about my appeal and you wouldn't tell them anything. Why is that?
We can only give information to someone if you have authorised us to do so. If someone is nominated as your sponsor we can give them details of your appeal. If your husband or wife is not currently nominated as your sponsor we are not allowed to talk to them about your appeal. It is very easy to nominate a sponsor by writing to us with your details and case reference number. Please send your letter to:

I am the Sponsor. Why haven't I been sent a copy of the determination?
A sponsor is not considered to be a party to the appeal. Only parties to the appeal, that is, the Appellant, their Representative and the Respondent (usually the Home Office) receive copies of the determination. If you are both the sponsor and the representative you will be sent a copy of the determination.
I am the Sponsor will I be informed of what is happening with the appeal?
If you are the Sponsor and there is a Representative, you will not be sent details of the appeal as it proceeds. The Representative or the Appellant are sent these details and it is up to them to keep you informed.
I have had a letter saying I am a Sponsor but I don't know the person who has nominated me. What do I do?
If you do not know someone who has named you as their Sponsor please write or phone us. Our telephone number is 0845 6000 877 and our address is:
