This area covers appeals against immigration and asylum decisions in England, including refusals of leave, protection or family routes, and situations where someone has overstayed a visa. A solicitor in this field will prepare grounds of appeal, gather evidence, and represent clients at hearings in the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) or the Upper Tribunal, and advise on bail or human rights arguments when removal or detention is involved.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The complexity arises from navigating specific immigration provisions, transitional rules, evidence requirements, and the interaction with detention, bail and human rights claims. The solicitor handles grounds of appeal, evidence bundles, cross-examination, and interlocutory applications, including extensions of time and suspension of removal, within UK-wide tribunals connected to immigration law.
