Visa Refused? Our Immigration Lawyers Can Help.

Whether your visa was refused on financial grounds, relationship evidence, or a technicality, we review your refusal, advise on your strongest option, and fight your case at every level.

Administrative Review

If you believe the Home Office made an error in applying the rules, you can request an Administrative Review within 14 days (or 28 days if abroad). This is a review of the decision, not a fresh hearing.

First Tier Tribunal Appeal

If you have a right of appeal, you can challenge the decision at the Immigration and Asylum Chamber. We prepare your grounds of appeal and represent you at the hearing.

Upper Tribunal Appeal

If the First Tier Tribunal dismisses your appeal, there may be grounds to appeal on a point of law to the Upper Tribunal.

Judicial Review

A legal challenge to the lawfulness of the Home Office's decision. Used where there is no right of appeal or all appeal rights are exhausted.

Fresh Application

In some cases, the fastest route to a positive outcome is a new, stronger application. We advise on whether this is right for your situation.

Why Act Quickly?

Refusal deadlines are strict. Depending on your visa type and situation:

• Administrative Review deadline: 14 days (in-country) or 28 days (abroad)

• First Tier Tribunal appeal deadline: 14 days (in-country) or 28 days (abroad) from refusal notice

• Missing these deadlines can significantly limit your options
