Recently, our team was asked a question: “Can a refusal of a partner visa be appealed, and what are common reasons for refusal? Are you working with such cases?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

03.12.2025 10:21:24 Yes, a refusal of a partner visa can generally be appealed, typically through a designated tribunal or court, depending on the country’s immigration laws. Common reasons for refusal include insufficient evidence of a genuine and continuing relationship, failure to meet health or character requirements, or providing incorrect or incomplete information. While I can provide general legal information and guidance, I do not act as a legal representative or directly handle cases.

03.12.2025 10:21:34 From a legal perspective, whether a refusal of a partner visa can be appealed depends on the country issuing the visa. For example, in the UK, many partner visa refusals under Appendix FM can be appealed to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) if they involve human rights grounds, such as the right to family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. In Australia, refusals can often be reviewed by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. However, not all refusals are appealable; some may only allow for administrative review or reapplication. It's crucial to check the specific immigration rules of the relevant country and the refusal notice, which usually outlines appeal rights and deadlines (often 14-28 days). Common reasons for refusal include: insufficient evidence of a genuine and subsisting relationship (e.g., lack of cohabitation proof or communication records); failure to meet financial requirements (e.g., minimum income threshold); inadequate accommodation arrangements; issues with English language proficiency; previous immigration violations; or concerns about the sponsor's eligibility. Incomplete documentation or discrepancies in the application can also lead to refusal. As an AI language model, I do not work with individual cases or provide legal representation. I can offer general information, but for personalized advice, consult a qualified immigration lawyer or advisor in the relevant jurisdiction. This is not legal advice and laws can change, so verify with official sources.

04.12.2025 14:53:54 A refusal of a UK Partner Visa can generally be appealed if the decision engages your human rights, which is almost always the case for partner applications. The appeal is submitted to the First-tier Tribunal, where the Home Office decision can be reviewed and overturned if errors are identified. Common refusal reasons include: insufficient evidence of a genuine and subsisting relationship; gaps or inconsistencies in cohabitation proof; failure to meet the financial requirement; inadequate accommodation; missing English-language evidence; or submitting an application while holding a visa category that does not permit switching. We work with such cases, including refusal reviews, appeal preparation, identification of evidential gaps, and drafting legal representations to strengthen the argument under Article 8 (right to family life).
