We are a tribunal that hears appeals against decisions made by the Home Secretary and his officials in asylum, immigration and nationality matters. The main types of appeal we hear are made against decisions to:
- Refuse a person asylum in the UK.
- Refuse a person entry to, or leave to remain in, the UK for permanent settlement.
- Deport someone already in the UK.
- Refuse a person entry to the UK for a family visit.
Appeals are heard by one or more immigration judges who are sometimes accompanied by non legal members of the tribunal. Immigration judges and non legal members are appointed by the Lord Chancellor and together form an independent judicial body. We hear appeals in a number of hearing centres across the United Kingdom.
We hope you find the information held on this site useful, interesting and informative.
