You have 60 days from the date of the refusal to file a Notice of Appeal at the Federal Court. There are several steps to follow and deadlines to maintain. Court proceedings can be complicated and it is advisable that you instruct a lawyer to represent you through the process and make persuasive legal arguments for you at the hearing. Alternatively, you can make a fresh application if you think that you better meet the requirements now than when you applied before.
