Administrative review:
You must apply for an administrative review within 28 days of getting the decision. It costs £80.
Currently, it can take 6 months or more to receive the result. If you do not get a decision on your application within 3 months, the Home Office will contact you with an update. Your rights are not affected by the delay in processing applications.
You cannot request a second review (unless the result of the first review found new reasons why you were refused).
Please note: Your request for an administrative review will be withdrawn (cancelled) if you make any other immigration or visa application.
Immigration decision appeal
You can only appeal to the tribunal if you have the legal right to appeal - you’ll usually be told if you do in your decision letter.
If you’ve been refused a tier 1, 2, 4 or 5 visa you will be able to ask for the decision to be reviewed at an administrative review - your refusal letter will usually tell you if you can
