- Appeals
Where can I get independent advice?
You can contact the Immigration Advisory Service (IAS) for advice
and help with an appeal. The IAS is a voluntary organisation independent
of government, and can provide confidential advice for you and
your representatives.
The IAS can help you to decide whether or not to make an appeal.
It can also represent you at an appeal hearing.

If you decide to send the papers to the visa department, there

You must only send your appeal to one place. If you plan to send
your appeal to the visa department, please check that your sponsor
has not already lodged the appeal for you. If they have, you must
not send the appeal to the visa department.
When the AIT receive your appeal form they will write to you to
