Our Immigration Challenge Services:

Administrative Reviews:

An Administrative Review allows applicants to challenge certain Home Office decisions where it is believed that a caseworker has made a case-working error.

This process is commonly available for:

• Skilled Worker visa refusals
• Sponsor licence decisions
• Student visa refusals
• Other points-based immigration applications

An Administrative Review is not an opportunity to submit new evidence unless specifically permitted. Instead, the Home Office reconsiders whether the original decision was made correctly based on the evidence that was available at the time.

Immigration Appeals

Certain immigration decisions carry a right of appeal, particularly where human rights, asylum, family life, or protection issues are involved.

An appeal allows an independent Immigration Judge to consider whether the Home Office's decision should be overturned.

Appealable decisions may include:

• Family visa refusals
• Human rights claim refusals
• Deportation decisions
• Settlement refusals involving human rights grounds
• Asylum and protection claims

Judicial Review:

Judicial Review is a legal challenge brought before the High Court where a Home Office decision, action, or delay is considered unlawful. Judicial Review is generally a remedy of last resort and is commonly used where:

• No right of appeal exists.
• Administrative Review is unavailable.
• The Home Office has acted unlawfully.
• The Home Office has delayed making a decision for an unreasonable period.

The Court will not usually decide your immigration application itself. Instead, it considers whether the Home Office acted lawfully and fairly.
