Service Overview
Administrative Review (AR) is a process where you can ask the Home Office to review a decision on an eligible visa application if you believe a "case working error" has been made. It is a quicker and cheaper alternative to an appeal or judicial review, specifically designed to fix mistakes like miscalculating points or overlooking submitted evidence.
Eligibility Criteria
- The refusal letter must state that you have a right to Administrative Review.
- Must be applied for within 14 days (if in the UK) or 28 days (if outside the UK).
- The challenge must be based on one or more specific case working errors.
- New evidence is generally not allowed, unless it's to prove an error was made.
Required Documents
- The refusal letter detailing the reasons for rejection.
- The original application form and supporting documents.
- A detailed statement pointing out the specific errors in the decision.
- Any evidence that was previously submitted but ignored by the caseworker.
Process Steps
- Error Analysis: We meticulously review the refusal letter to identify case working errors.
- Drafting Grounds: We write a professional submission explaining why the decision is wrong.
- Online Submission: We submit the AR application through the official Home Office portal.
- Fee Payment: Payment of the AR fee (which is refunded if the decision is overturned).
- Decision Monitoring: We track the review until a final outcome is received.
