Administrative Review

Challenge visa refusals with precision

If your UK visa or immigration application has been refused, you may be able to request an Administrative Review. We identify caseworker errors and present strong legal arguments for reversal.

Understanding AR

What is an Administrative Review?

Administrative Review is a process that allows you to challenge a refusal decision if you believe the Home Office made an error when considering your visa or immigration application. It is not a new application but a legal review of the original decision.

When can you apply for AR?

Not all refusals can be challenged by Administrative Review. We check your refusal letter and confirm if AR is the correct remedy.

Eligible Decisions

Skilled Worker, Student, Visitor, Partner visas where caseworker error may be identified.

Strict Deadlines

You usually have 14 days (in-country) or 28 days (out-of-country) to apply for AR.

No New Evidence

You cannot submit new documents — AR only examines whether a caseworker error was made.
