Who can file the appeal?

In this country the appeal is, as a rule, filed by a lawyer; you cannot file it yourself. Ask for a free lawyer (legal aid) at once. We can prepare the appeal text for your lawyer.

This is an estimate and deliberately shows the EARLIEST possible day. Your exact deadline is stated at the end of your decision; always follow the deadline in your decision. Some countries add extra days for decisions sent by post; do not rely on them.

We prepare your appeal letter. Write to us before the deadline passes.
