The UK Government has withdrawn appeal rights against many applications. However, in the following categories, the applicant can file an appeal against refusal of UK Visa application:
The deadline to make family permit application under EEA law is 30th June 2021. All those sponsors who have retained right of residence in the UK under EU Settlement scheme can sponsor their immediate close family members and extended family members. Accordingly when these EEA family members’ EEA application to join their relative in the UK is refused; the EEA refusal attracts a right of appeal. The appeal has to be made within 28 days (outside the UK). The Appeal process is similar to UK spouse visa appeal, which is given below.
An Appellant can file appeal in First-tier Tribunal UK against refusal of his or her UK Spouse Visa Application.
If the application was made within the UK (and applicant is in the UK) the appeal against refusal of Spouse Visa application must be filed within 14 days of the date of refusal letter.
However, if the application was made outside the UK (entry clearance), the appeal against refusal of Spouse Visa UK must be filed within 28 days of the date on the refusal letter.
The Appellant must file an appeal bundle which could comprise of the appellant’s witness statement, skeleton arguments, index, a chronology of event and evidence, etc.

The appeal form can be filled online and accordingly a fee of £140 must be paid online. However the first question one must ask is that what are the chances of success of appeal against Spouse Visa application and also that should a new spouse visa application be made or is appeal the right way forward.
Once appeal fee is paid, the First-tier Tribunal shall issue directions to the parties i.e. the appellant and the Home Office. This process can take a few months. Subsequent to the directions, the First-tier Tribunal shall list the case for hearing in the UK.
Once the appeal bundle has been filed in the Court and served the Home Office, the appellant should instruct their representative to argue their case in First-tier Tribunal.
