After you send your appeal

You’ll normally find out within a week of sending the form:

  • whether the tribunal will consider your case
  • whether the tribunal needs more information, for example if your appeal was late

You’ll then be told when your hearing will take place, and whether it’s paper or oral.

If you have an oral hearing, you’ll be told a few days before the hearing what documents to bring with you - or to send by post in advance. The letter will also tell you if the tribunal wants to call up any witnesses - you must contact them and make sure they appear at the hearing.

You’ll usually get the decision at the hearing.

If you need to send more information

If the tribunal asks you to send more information before the hearing, you may need to discuss this with a casework team.

Contact the Section 95 casework team if you’re an asylum seeker.
