Challenging a UK Visa Refusal: Information and Options
Are you dealing with a UK visa refusal? We can help. Our team of highly experienced immigration lawyers in Manchester has dealt with over a thousand UK visa refusals, and we have successfully challenged many of them through appeals, administrative review, and judicial review.
If you believe that your immigration application has been refused unlawfully by the Home Office, UKVI, you may have options to challenge the decision. The options available to you depend on the type of application that was submitted. You may have been given a right of administrative review, a full right of appeal, or no right of appeal at all. If you have not been given a right of appeal, our team of immigration lawyers can advise on alternative options.
Appeals, Administrative Review, and Judicial Review
For applications that were refused with a full right of appeal, such as spouse visa refusals, refusal of ILR applications, or refusal of an extension or entry clearance visa, you can challenge the decision by lodging an appeal to the immigration tribunal. This is where our team of experienced immigration solicitors can assist you.
But what are the chances of getting a UK visa after refusal?
While there is no guarantee that your UK visa will be granted, a successful appeal or administrative review can increase your chances of success. When preparing your fresh application, it is important to address the reasons for the refusal fully. Some common UK visa refusal reasons include incomplete or inaccurate information, insufficient documentation, and not meeting the eligibility criteria.
If you have been refused British citizenship, our team can help you with the reconsideration process.
Our highly experienced immigration solicitors based in Manchester can provide free initial assessment advice online via email, phone call, or an enquiry form. For detailed advice, please book an appointment with our expert immigration solicitor today.
