Analysis
Appeals succeed where the rejection rests on a procedural lapse, like a late LUT, or on a formula error by the officer. Where the problem was your own missing document, a fresh claim within the time limit may be faster than appeal. Compare the time left on the two-year limit before deciding.
Conclusion
- Read the order and list each ground of rejection
- Check the time left under the two-year limit
- Decide between a fresh claim and an appeal
- File APL-01 with grounds and documents within three months
