Administrative review is how UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) re-evaluates their decisions. While refusal letters might indicate near to no choice, you always have the option of disputing UKVI through an Administrative Review of their decision. Having a visa refusal is an awful experience, with many investments and future plans at stake. Our expert immigration solicitors at A Y & J Solicitors can help with this Administrative Review. Our legal team reviews your file to ensure your case qualifies for Administrative Review. In most scenarios, the UKVI considers the reasons presented and will reconsider its decision to refuse the Tier 1 Investor Visa application.
The UKVI issues several refusals for those applying for the Tier 1 Investor Visas due to mistakes in application or documentation. Many people apply for this visa, believing their information and application form are correct. Just one small mistake or misinterpretation may cause refusal, but we have a successful track record of reverting the decision in the Administrative Review. A Y &J Solicitors, an SRA-regulating firm, supports their clients facing Tier 1 Investor Visa refusal in Administrative Review. We will efficiently review the reason for refusal and represent you in the best possible way to get the desired results.

Administrative Review provides a cost-effective way for those who have had their Tier 1 Investor Visa application refused to get their application reconsidered because they believe an error has been made by the caseworker reviewing it.
Our expert lawyers have an in-depth understanding of the Administrative Review process. We will assist you with correct application procedure and ensure UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) know exactly why an Administrative Review is being requested so they can focus on correcting the relevant issue. We understand that those entering the UK on the investor route require quick support. Our team can put together an application quickly, allowing you to focus on other elements of your move.
At A Y & J Solicitors, we will take the time to carefully examine why your visa application was refused and advise you on the best course of action to take. You can be confident that as an SRA regulated firm, we will act with the utmost integrity and provide right legal advice explaining chances of success.
Administrative Review can be a complex process; however, by instructing us, you can trust that your matter will be dealt with quickly, and all aspects of the Administrative Review process will be explained to you in a clear, friendly manner.
Administrative Review is the process by which those applying for visa can challenge the refusal on the basis that the decision is incorrect due to a case working error. You can make an application for Administrative review either from inside the UK (if you are switching to a Tier 1 Investor Visa) or out-of-country.
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 issues a refused your Tier 1 Investor Visa, it must issue a written notice concerning your 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 UKVI.
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 should:
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 based on the refused submission, additional documents could not be included with the Administrative Review application unless specific grounds of refusal. However, if more documentation is requested, we can advise you organise it.
Administrative Reviews provide a fast, cost-effective way of having a refusal from UKVI re-examined. The key to ensuring an Administrative Review is successful 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 the UK after receiving an Administrative Review application, 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, our lawyers have over ten years’ experience in assisting both in-country and out-country applicants for Tier 1 Investor Visas in making Administrative Review decisions, sometimes in urgent circumstances. We understand the process and have a strong reputation for achieving successful results for investors.
Our solicitors will provide expert advice as to whether you should apply for Administrative Review or Judicial Review if your application for a Tier 1 Investor Visa has been refused. In some situations, such as if a material error of law has been made, or the caseworker’s decision is unreasonable, Judicial Review may be the most effective route in absence of any alternate remedy.
No, Administrative Reviews are always done by a completely separate immigration official than the one who assessed your initial application.
