Immigration and Protection Tribunal appeal record
No published tribunal decisions were matched to Des Kumar Fermah. That is not the same as never having appeared: decisions name the representative by initial and surname only, so where a name could point to more than one person on the register we leave it out rather than credit it to the wrong practitioner. Most immigration work also never reaches the tribunal at all. If appearances are missing, tell us on the corrections page.
Before you engage any adviser
