An appeal letter can help immigration officials understand particular areas of your case, especially if certain sections of your application may cause questions or call for further explanation.
An Appeal Letter should contain:
Your personal information: Information about the writer, including name and last name, passport number, and current address, must be included in the letter. It is highly recommended that you provide your phone number and email address in the letter as well.
The day your application was turned down: Make sure to include the date on which you received the application rejection letter right at the start.
Reason: The explanation given in the letter of rejection you received for your visa denial.
Why you think the rejection was wrong: Describe why you believe your application should be accepted and why you think it was unfairly denied. Provide a list of the reasons, if any, why you feel the decision to reject your application should be changed. This is the most crucial section of the letter, so read it carefully!
Your signature: Once your letter is written, print it out and sign it. Submissions of letters without a signature will be rejected.
Avoid These Mistakes
- Emotional Pleas: Don’t go into too much detail on your personal feelings; just state the facts.
- Incomplete Information: Make sure you cover every issue raised in the letter of rejection.
- Late Submissions: Submit your appeal within the given time frame, which is often 14–28 days.
