When your application for a Points-Based System visa is rejected, the first step you can take is an Administrative Review. This crucial stage allows you to appeal if your case has been mishandled. Eligible applications fall under the categories of Tier 2(Skilled Worker), Tier 4(Student), Tier 1 Entrepreneur, Tier 1 Investor visas and PBS ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain). Submitting the complete application form within 28 days (outside the UK) and 14 days (within the UK) of receiving the refusal notice is critical. This should include justifications for your denial and an explanation of why you believe an error was made.

Do you need help with Administrative Review?
Administrative Review is a process in which people applying for entry clearance / visa applications can challenge the refusal on the basis that the decision is incorrect due to a case working error.
The following types of applications are eligible for Administrative Review:
An Administrative Review is conducted by a separate team that is independent of the original decision maker. At present, the Home Office team dealing with in-country Administrative Review decisions is based in Manchester, making them physically separate from the initial case working teams in Sheffield and Liverpool.
We will provide you with all the information you need to fully understand the Administrative Review process. You will also receive the email and direct dial of the lawyer handling your matter so that you can ask questions at any time during office hours.
If UKVI refused your entry clearance or leave to remain application, it must issue a written notice concerning the applicant’s eligibility for Administrative Review. The notice must include or be accompanied by a statement of the reasons for refusal. Information on how to apply for Administrative Review and the time limits for making an application must also be included within the information provided to an applicant by the Home Office.
If you are outside the UK and wish to apply for an Administrative Review of a UKVI decision, you will have 28 days to make the application. If you are applying inside the UK, you have 14 days.
When applying for Administrative Review, you must:
We will assist you in examining the reasons for the refusal and put together a detailed covering letter explaining the points that need to be reviewed.
Because an Administrative Review is conducted on the refused submission, additional documents are not included with the Administrative Review application. However, if more documentation is requested, we can advise you to organise it.
One of the key advantages of the Administrative Review process is its cost-effectiveness; £80 per application. Some applicants may be exempt from paying the fee in the following circumstances:
The key to ensuring an Administrative Review is successful first time such as for one of our Tier 4 refused client, is to precisely pinpoint the error made by immigration officials when deciding your application and clearly spelling this out in your application.
There are four possible outcomes to an application for AR as stated in the Immigration Rules, Appendix AR, para AR2.2. These are the Administrative Review:
If UKVI does not grant you leave to enter after receiving an Administrative Review, our lawyers can assist you with the next best steps. This can include making a new application or an appeal on human rights grounds where applicable or seeking a Judicial Review of the decision.
At A Y & J Solicitors, we have enormous experience in assisting both in-country and out-country applicants in making Administrative Review decisions bringing successful outcome; sometimes in urgent circumstances.
