After a Home Office refusal (immigration cases)

This guide from Right to Remain walks through what to do after receiving a Home Office Reasons for Refusal Letter (RFRL) on an immigration (non-asylum) application. It covers the limited circumstances in which a right of appeal exists (human rights, international protection, EU Settled Status, and revocation of refugee status), the 14-day deadline for lodging an appeal with the First-tier Tribunal, and the administrative review process — including the £80 fee, 14-day (or 7-day if detained) application window, and the 2025 Upper Tribunal case of Ganeshamoorthy on new evidence. It also advises on when making a fresh application may be the most appropriate route. The guide does not cover asylum refusals, which are addressed in a separate Right to Remain resource.
