You can appeal to the Upper Tribunal, subject to grant of permission by the First Tier Tribunal or Upper Tribunal, to challenge the determination of an Immigration Judge of the First Tier Tribunal on the basis of a material error of law made by the Immigration Judge of First Tier Tribunal who determined your appeal. After the permission to appeal has been granted either by the First Tier Tribunal or by the Upper Tribunal itself, the Upper Tribunal (UT) Judge will decide the immigration appeal after an error of law hearing to find whether or not the Immigration Judge of the First Tier Tribunal made a material error of law in determining the appeal.

Application To The First Tier Tribunal For Permission To Appeal To The Upper Tribunal
You can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (FTT) for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal (UT) after dismissal of the immigration appeal by the Immigration Judge at First Tier Tribunal (FTT). An application to the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal (UT) can only be made on the basis that the Immigration Judge determining the immigration appeal made a material error of law.
The application for permission to appeal must be filed with the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) within 14 calendar days of the date the appeal determination was sent to you by the First Tier Tribunal and 28 calendar days if the appellant is outside the UK.
An application to the First Tier Tribunal for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal can be made on the grounds that the Immigration Judge who determined the appeal at the First Tier Tribunal made a material error of law in deciding the appeal which renders the determination of the Immigration Judge materially erroneous in law. Our expert team of immigration appeal solicitors will initially assess the determination of the immigration Judge internally and if we find an error of law in the determination of the Immigration Judge, we will then instruct a Barrister to prepare grounds in support of an application for permission to appeal. Any grounds prepared by the Barrister are reviewed to consider whether there is any other argument which can be run in addition to what the Barrister has argued in the grounds and where necessary suggest any amendments or addition to the grounds to strengthen the application.

Appeal To The Upper Tribunal After Grant Of Permission
After an application for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal is successful and permission to appeal has been granted either by the First Tier Tribunal or by the Upper Tribunal, the Upper Tribunal may rehear the appeal to decide whether or not there was a material error of law made by the Immigration Judge who determined the appeal at First Tier Tribunal.
The Upper Tribunal has the power to rehear the appeal and determine the appeal themselves and either maintain the decision of the Immigration Judge or set aside the same and make a new decision. In some cases, the Upper Tribunal may remit the appeal back to the First Tier Tribunal after deciding that there was a material error of law in the appeal determination of the Immigration Judge.

No Win No Fee For Judicial Review (JR) Against The Home Office UKVI
- Our specialist team of immigration solicitors can act for your Judicial Review (JR) against the Home Office UKVI on no win, no fee, basis which means you will not have to pay our legal costs if you do not succeed in your Judicial Review and if we do succeed in the Judicial Review (JR) we will recover our legal costs from the Home Office UKVI.
- The no win no fee agreement does not cover disbursements or third-party costs, e.g. court fees and Barrister fees in relation to your Judicial Review proceedings, and you will have to pay such costs for us to prepare and issue the Judicial Review proceedings. If we recover our legal costs from the Home Office UKVI in the event of succeeding in Judicial Review proceedings, the disbursement which you would have paid would be refunded back to you as such disbursements will also be recovered from the Home Office UKVI. However, if we are not able to recover our legal costs from the Home Office UKVI, you will not be able to get the refund of the court fee and the Barrister's fees.
- Please note that we will only take on your case on a no-win, no-fee basis if we find good grounds to challenge the unlawful decision of the Home Office UKVI.
