Judicial Review is the process by which courts exercise supervisory power over decisions of public bodies. Even though refusal letters may suggest that there is no opportunity for appeal, Judicial Review is still available for challenging UKVI’s decision. Being accused of having a flawed character, which is dangerous to a nation's security, is a painful experience. Our expert immigration lawyers’ team at A Y & J Solicitors is available for your assistance. Since the SRA regulates us, our legal team can apply for permission to instruct Judicial Review. We will review your case and ensure your situation meets the strict Judicial Review criteria. Our experts strive to resolve issues at this stage, saving you time, money, and anxiety. UKVI, in majority of cases, changes their mind and approves the ILR application before reviewing the court date.
The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) has made numerous refusals under paragraph 322(5). Many people and families attached their applications, trusting that the information was correct. However, according to paragraphs 322(2) and 322(5) of the Immigration Rules, any error in the application might be regarded as deception and an automatic refusal. More than half of all cases against which our team of lawyers have brought Judicial Review, have ended favourably for innocent applicants.
A Y & J Solicitors are very familiar with the Judicial Review process, and we accompany clients during the ILR application. If there is a possibility of refusal due to misrepresentation, we offer Legal Representation along with your application, explaining the situation. We are known for our excellent customer service and high-quality legal counsel. Through independent reviews and client recommendations, we have demonstrated our ability to deliver the desired outcomes.

"When I started the processes with Ikra, I remembered the tortoise and hare story by Aesop, so slowly they are progressing my application. Despite my request to speed up the processes, my application still does not accelerate. After two weeks of documentation and drafting the application, they submitted it to HMRC for decision. Ikra's much appreciated work has resulted in a decision from HMRC being made in less than 24 hours. Though the hare ran fast, the winner was the tortoise. Ikra is the winner on my application, just like the tortoise. I am grateful for your excellent and helpful assistance."
"Many thanks for your excellent work on my behalf. You were so thorough, persistent, and transparent. God Bless you"

Many ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain / Settlement) applications have been refused due to Tax amendments under paragraph 322 (5). Being branded as a person with undesirable character and threat to national security comes as a tremendous shock to some people who have obeyed the law their entire lives. If you are facing a refusal on these grounds, please note that you are not alone and our team of expert immigration lawyers can assist you.
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) has issued these types of refusals in numbers. In most cases, individuals and families completed their applications in good faith, believing the information they submitted was accurate. But under paragraph 322(2) and/or 322(5) of the Immigration Rules, errors in the application are deemed to be attempts of deception and therefore potential grounds for immediate refusal.
Challenging ILR refusals due to tax amendments is one of our specialist areas. Our lawyers are experienced and have helped innocent applicants bringing successful Judicial Review results for 322 (5) cases.
Judicial Review is the process by which the courts exercise a supervisory jurisdiction over the exercise of public functions by public bodies. Even if a refusal letter states that there is no option for appeal, there’s still an avenue for applicants who are denied ILR. Judicial Review is the legal process for challenging a public body’s decision – in this case, challenging UK Visas and Immigration’s (UKVI’s) decision to refuse ILR to a qualified applicant.
As we are regulated by the SRA, our legal team can submit an application for permission to apply for Judicial Review. Our experienced lawyers will review your situation and determine if it qualifies under the strict Judicial Review requirements.
It can be worth pursuing Judicial Review if you have strong case as it may not only lead to ILR status but often also results in UKVI paying costs to the applicant, in the event if your Judicial Review application is successful.
A Judicial Review is only conducted in cases where UKVI has acted outside lawful procedures.
There is only a three-month window in which a Judicial Review can be initiated against a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) decision. If you have received an ILR refusal citing deception, you can contact our offices for honest advice on your particular situation. It is advisable to work with a solicitor with a strong track record of successfully challenging decisions via Judicial Review. This is because failure to win the case can result in you paying UKVI’s costs as well as your own. By instructing our team, you can be confident that we will only progress with a Judicial Review challenge if we believe you have an arguable case.
Judicial Review is a remedy of last resort. All other avenues for challenging UKVI’s refusal of your ILR application must be explored first. Therefore, we will write to the Home Office and attempt to negotiate in the first instance. This part of the process is known as the Pre-Action Protocol stage, and it is designed to encourage parties to settle prior to a formal Judicial Review application being made.
Should this strategy prove unsuccessful, we will make a formal application for Judicial Review on your behalf. It is important to note UKVI may choose to negotiate at any point up until the hearing. Using our experience in managing these types of matters, we try our best to resolve matters at this stage so our client does not need to go court. In most cases, UKVI agrees to review their decision or approve the ILR application prior to the court date. This means we save our clients time, money, and the stress of formal litigation.
A Y & J Solicitors are well-versed in the Judicial Review process. We work with clients throughout the entire ILR application process. By doing this, if it appears there may be a reason for UKVI to deny the submission on the grounds of deception, we can provide a Legal Representation with your application, explaining the situation.
