Administrative Review

Correcting case working errors in Home Office visa decisions.

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

  1. Error Analysis: We meticulously review the refusal letter to identify case working errors.
  2. Drafting Grounds: We write a professional submission explaining why the decision is wrong.
  3. Online Submission: We submit the AR application through the official Home Office portal.
  4. Fee Payment: Payment of the AR fee (which is refunded if the decision is overturned).
  5. Decision Monitoring: We track the review until a final outcome is received.
