Action plan
- Find the notification date and calculate the appeal deadline.
- Read the ground: means, social security, contract, ties, records…
- Gather new evidence that answers the refusal reason.
- Weigh administrative appeal vs court vs a new route.
- Do not ignore departure orders or interim measures.
- Prepare powers of attorney if a lawyer files for you.
