Immigration appeals follow different routes depending on the type of decision being challenged. Since the Immigration Act 2014, statutory appeal rights to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) exist only where the decision involves a human rights claim, a protection claim, or a revocation of protection status / deprivation of British citizenship (s.82 NIAA 2002 as amended by Immigration Act 2014; s.40A BNA 1981). BSAIA 2025 ss.49–50 (in force 12 Aug 2026) add 24-week determination periods (NIAA ss.86A–86B); s.51 (in force 2 Feb 2026) amends particularly serious crime (s.72). The Immigration (Citizens' Rights Appeals) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 extend appeal rights to EUSS refusals. Pure visa refusals without a human rights ground must be challenged by judicial review, not appeal. ⚠ Filing deadlines and FORUMS vary — pick the right track: • FTT (IAC) statutory appeal — the Tribunal must receive the appeal no later than 14 days after the decision was sent if you are IN the UK, or 28 days after you receive it if you are OUT of the UK (Tribunal Procedure (FtT) (IAC) Rules 2014, r.19(2)–(3)). Detained appellants have the same 14-day limit (r.19(2)). The accelerated detained appeal scheme in NABA 2022 s.27 is not yet operational. • Permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal — within 14 days (in the UK) / 28 days (outside the UK) of written reasons being sent (r.33(2)–(3) FtT(IAC) Rules 2014). • Court of Appeal (Civil Division) — apply to the UT first: 12 working days in the UK (10 if the decision was emailed or handed to you), 7 working days if detained (5), 38 days outside the UK (10) (UT Rules 2008 r.44(3A)–(3C)). If the UT refuses, file the appellant's notice at the Court of Appeal within 28 days of the UT's permission decision being sent (PD 52D para 3.3). • Judicial review (Upper Tribunal IAC under UT Rules r.28; or Administrative Court under CPR 54) — promptly and within 3 months. If removal directions are set, issue immediately with an urgent application (UTIAC4 / N463) (PAP para 6). • SIAC — Special Immigration Appeals Commission for decisions certified under s.40A(2) BNA 1981 (SIAC Act 1997 — separate procedure, not on this map). • Asylum Support Tribunal — appeals against ASF1 / s.4 / s.95 refusals: notice of appeal within 3 days after receiving the decision — FtT (Social Entitlement Chamber) Rules 2008 r.22(2)(a); s.103 IAA 1999 (separate procedure, not on this map). • Cart JR of a UT refusal of permission — JRCA 2022 s.2 (TCEA 2007 s.11A): only for no valid application, improper constitution, bad faith or fundamental breach of natural justice; claim within 16 days (CPR 54.7A(2)) (R (Oceana) v UT [2023] EWHC 791 (Admin)). After lodgement and before the substantive FTT hearing, the Home Office must provide its bundle within 28 days of the date the Tribunal sent it the appeal (r.24(3)). If you have a legal representative, they must provide an Appeal Skeleton Argument and evidence within 28 days after the Home Office bundle, or 42 days after the appeal was lodged, whichever is later (r.24A(1)–(2)); the Home Office then has 14 days to provide its Respondent Review (r.24A(3)). The ASA has a 12-page limit and three sections: factual summary, schedule of disputed issues, and submissions (PD FtT IAC 1 Nov 2024 paras 7.6–7.7). If you are appealing in person, the Tribunal will direct you to explain your case and send your evidence (PD para 7.10), usually through the online service or on Form IAFT-2. If directions are not followed, the Tribunal may take any action it considers just, including excluding evidence (r.6(2); PD paras 5.2–5.3). A Case Management Review (interim hearing) may be listed to narrow the issues and give directions (PD para 6.1). Select your appeal type to see the appropriate bundle template. If you have no statutory right of appeal, use the Judicial Review track. For Asylum Support / SIAC matters seek specialist advice — these forums have separate rules and shorter deadlines than the IAC.

Understanding Immigration Bundles

Everything you need to know about preparing bundles for immigration appeals

Immigration Tribunal System

Immigration appeals in the UK are heard by the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber), with onward appeals to the Upper Tribunal on points of law.

The tribunal considers appeals against refusals of protection (asylum) and human rights claims, including family-visa and deportation cases.

Types of Immigration Appeals

Asylum appeals involve claims under the 1951 Refugee Convention where an individual claims a well-founded fear of persecution. Human rights appeals typically focus on Article 8 (right to private and family life).

Deportation appeals for Foreign National Offenders involve different legal thresholds depending on the circumstances — consult a solicitor for advice on which threshold applies to your case. Most visa refusals carry no right of appeal; appeals lie only against refusals of protection or human rights claims, or revocation of protection status (s.82(1) NIAA 2002). Other refusals may be challenged by administrative review or judicial review.

What Goes in an Immigration Bundle?

Immigration bundles must be comprehensive yet focused. The tribunal has strict page limits in some cases, so document selection is crucial.

  • Home Office decision letter(s)
  • Appellant's witness statement
  • Country of origin information (COI)
  • Expert reports (country experts, medical)
  • Supporting evidence (letters, photographs)
  • Legal skeleton argument
  • Relevant case law authorities
  • Appeal form (online, or Form IAFT-1), and Form IAFT-5 if asking for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal

Immigration Bundle FAQs

Common questions about immigration bundles, costs, and who can use BundleCreator

BundleCreator's Immigration template produces an FtT (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) appeal bundle: the Notice of Appeal and Grounds of Appeal, the appellant's witness statement, the Reasons for Refusal letter, supporting evidence (sponsor's statements, financial documents, family-life evidence, country-of-origin information), expert reports where commissioned, and authorities. The output is paginated, indexed, bookmarked and OCR'd, with A4 pages (FtT IAC Practice Direction para 7.2) — designed to align with the IAC's Procedure Rules and electronic bundle requirements. From £19.99 a month, within your plan's bundle allowance.

Asylum appeal bundles need: the appellant's screening interview, asylum interview transcript, witness statement, the Home Office's Reasons for Refusal letter, country-of-origin information (CPIN reports, UNHCR materials, NGO reports, news articles, expert country reports), medical evidence where relevant (specialist medico-legal reports, for example from Freedom from Torture), and authorities on the Refugee Convention 1951 Article 1A(2) grounds. BundleCreator's Immigration template orders these with chronological country evidence, OCR'd for keyword search, and section bookmarks for the FtT's hearing.

Article 8 ECHR appeal bundles (private and family life) need: the appellant's witness statement and family witness statements, evidence of the relationships relied on (marriage/civil partnership certificates, children's birth certificates, photographs, communication records), evidence of integration (employment, housing, community ties, language proficiency), evidence of insurmountable obstacles to family life elsewhere where relevant, and authorities (Razgar, Beoku-Betts, Rhuppiah, Agyarko). BundleCreator's Immigration template orders these for the FtT IAC appeal.

Deportation appeal bundles for vulnerable clients (children, victims of trafficking, mental health concerns) need: the appellant's witness statement, the Home Office decision refusing the human rights claim (and the deportation decision it responds to), evidence of vulnerability (medical reports, social services involvement, NRM Conclusive Grounds decision for trafficking), best interests of any UK-settled children, and authorities (Maslov, Akpinar, ZH (Tanzania)). BundleCreator includes permanent redaction for sensitive identifiers (witness addresses, children's names, sensitive medical details) — flattened removal, not just black-highlight which leaks.

Immigration judicial review bundles need: the claim form (UTIAC1 in the Upper Tribunal, or N461 in the Administrative Court) with the Statement of Facts and Grounds; the contested decision and the evidence relied on; the Home Office's acknowledgment of service and summary grounds; its detailed grounds if permission is granted; witness statements; and authorities. Note that judicial review of an Upper Tribunal refusal of permission to appeal (the former 'Cart JR' route) was largely ousted by section 2 of the Judicial Review and Courts Act 2022, which inserted s.11A into the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 — the s.11A(4) exceptions are: no valid application before the Upper Tribunal, improper constitution, bad faith, or a fundamental breach of natural justice. A claim of that kind must be brought within 16 days (CPR 54.7A). BundleCreator's Immigration template orders judicial review materials for the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) or the Administrative Court with paginated, OCR'd, hyperlinked-index output.

Upper Tribunal (IAC) error of law hearings need: the application for permission to appeal (which stands as the notice of appeal once permission is granted), the FtT determination under appeal, the permission decision (First-tier or Upper Tribunal), any Rule 15(2A) notice of new evidence, the original FtT bundle (or relevant excerpts), skeleton arguments, and authorities. BundleCreator's Immigration template handles UT error-of-law preparation with appeal-bundle structure: pleadings, FtT determination, grounds, evidence relied on, and authorities — paginated, OCR'd, bookmarked for the UT's electronic filing.

BundleCreator's Essential tier (£19.99 a month, 15 total bundles) and Pro tier (£39.99 a month, 40 total bundles) work well for IAA level 2 and 3 advisers and small immigration practices. The tool produces FtT, Upper Tribunal, and judicial review bundles with pagination, OCR throughout, hyperlinked index, and section bookmarks. No per-seat minimums, monthly billing, no annual contract. Designed to be affordable for sole practitioners while producing tribunal-grade output.

Documents not in English must come with an English translation (rule 12(5)(b)). BundleCreator's Immigration template pairs each foreign-language exhibit with its translation in adjacent positions in the bundle, paginated together, with the translation immediately following the original. The hyperlinked index references both. Ask the Tribunal for a hearing interpreter through the online service or on Form IAFT-3.

BundleCreator runs on Google Cloud's London region (europe-west2). AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. Your uploaded documents, including asylum interview transcripts, vulnerable client evidence, and country-of-origin information, are stored and processed in our London (europe-west2) region, which helps avoid restricted international transfers of your documents. Account and payment details are handled by our service providers under the safeguards in our privacy policy. Designed with the solicitors' professional duty of confidentiality in mind, and particularly relevant for asylum and trafficking cases where data residency matters for client safety.

BundleCreator includes permanent redaction for sensitive identifiers (witness addresses, children's names, sensitive medical details) — flattened removal, not just black-highlight which leaks.

How do I prepare a judicial review immigration bundle?

Immigration judicial review bundles need: the claim form (UTIAC1 in the Upper Tribunal, or N461 in the Administrative Court) with the Statement of Facts and Grounds; the contested decision and the evidence relied on; the Home Office's acknowledgment of service and summary grounds; its detailed grounds if permission is granted; witness statements; and authorities. Note that judicial review of an Upper Tribunal refusal of permission to appeal (the former 'Cart JR' route) was largely ousted by section 2 of the Judicial Review and Courts Act 2022, which inserted s.11A into the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 — the s.11A(4) exceptions are: no valid application before the Upper Tribunal, improper constitution, bad faith, or a fundamental breach of natural justice. A claim of that kind must be brought within 16 days (CPR 54.7A). BundleCreator's Immigration template orders judicial review materials for the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) or the Administrative Court with paginated, OCR'd, hyperlinked-index output.

How do I prepare an Upper Tribunal error of law immigration bundle?

Upper Tribunal (IAC) error of law hearings need: the application for permission to appeal (which stands as the notice of appeal once permission is granted), the FtT determination under appeal, the permission decision (First-tier or Upper Tribunal), any Rule 15(2A) notice of new evidence, the original FtT bundle (or relevant excerpts), skeleton arguments, and authorities. BundleCreator's Immigration template handles UT error-of-law preparation with appeal-bundle structure: pleadings, FtT determination, grounds, evidence relied on, and authorities — paginated, OCR'd, bookmarked for the UT's electronic filing.

Is there a bundling tool for an IAA-regulated adviser at sole-practice scale?

BundleCreator's Essential tier (£19.99 a month, 15 total bundles) and Pro tier (£39.99 a month, 40 total bundles) work well for IAA level 2 and 3 advisers and small immigration practices. The tool produces FtT, Upper Tribunal, and judicial review bundles with pagination, OCR throughout, hyperlinked index, and section bookmarks. No per-seat minimums, monthly billing, no annual contract. Designed to be affordable for sole practitioners while producing tribunal-grade output.

How do I bundle interpreter coordination and foreign-language exhibits?

Documents not in English must come with an English translation (rule 12(5)(b)). BundleCreator's Immigration template pairs each foreign-language exhibit with its translation in adjacent positions in the bundle, paginated together, with the translation immediately following the original. The hyperlinked index references both. Ask the Tribunal for a hearing interpreter through the online service or on Form IAFT-3.
