Work Visa Rejection — Appeal
A refusal is not the end: 60% of our reapplications succeed
A work visa refusal can almost always be challenged or fixed. Three routes: appeal/reconsideration, remonstration (informal consular review) and reapplication with a strengthened file. The right route depends on the country, the refusal ground and deadlines. One Way Ticket analyzes the refusal letter, identifies the weak point of the case and builds a strategy.
Appeal mechanisms by country
USA: a USCIS petition denial (H-1B, L-1, O-1) can be challenged with Form I-290B (motion/appeal), fee $800, deadline 30 days; a consular 214(b) refusal cannot be appealed — only a new application. UK: Administrative Review for £80 within 28 days (14 days in-country). Germany: free Remonstration to the consulate or a lawsuit at the Berlin administrative court within 1 month. Canada: judicial review at the Federal Court — 15 days (in-Canada decision) or 60 days (abroad).
Appeal or reapply?
An appeal makes sense when the officer made a clear error or misapplied the law: expect 3–12 months. Reapplying is faster and often more effective when the refusal was for insufficient evidence: we strengthen proof of qualifications, salary level, genuineness of the vacancy and home ties. Important: another refusal on the same ground damages your record, so never reapply without materially changing the case.
