Regarding immigration appeals, the parties include the Immigration and Asylum Chamber, the Respondent (the Secretary of State, Entry Clearance Officer or Visa Officer depending on the type of appeal), the appellant and in some cases, the legal representation of the appellant, i.e. a firm of solicitors. Your solicitor will prepare appellant’s bundles and serve to all relevant parties. The Home Office also has duty to serve respondent’s bundle to all relevant parties.  Once the appeal has been lodged and a certificate of fee satisfaction issued, the Tribunal will send a copy of the notice of appeal and any accompanying documents to the Home Office and issue a notice of hearing and directions.
