Some refused family-class sponsorship applications may be appealed to the Immigration Appeal Division. The refusal reasons, statutory appeal right and deadline should be reviewed immediately.
Issues we review
- Genuineness and legal validity of the relationship
- Misrepresentation, admissibility or sponsor eligibility findings
- Evidence considered by the visa officer
- New evidence available for the appeal
- Humanitarian and compassionate considerations where available
Appeal preparation
A strong appeal record addresses the actual refusal reasons, inconsistencies and evidentiary gaps rather than simply repeating the original application.
Current information matters
Immigration criteria, document requirements and public policies can change. Advice should be based on the rules and facts applicable when you apply.
