An administrative review is a process available for certain visa and immigration decisions made by the Home Office. It allows applicants to challenge a decision without going through a full appeal process. An appeal is a formal process that allows individuals to challenge a decision made by the Home Office or other immigration authorities before an independent tribunal or court. It involves presenting a new case and providing evidence to contest the decision.
How to Request an Administrative Review:
- Eligibility: Check if your decision is eligible for an administrative review. The Home Office will provide information on whether an administrative review is possible.
- Submit a Request: Complete the administrative review application form and submit it online or via the designated process within the specified timeframe (usually 28 days from the date of the decision).
- Provide Supporting Documents: Include any additional evidence or information that supports your case and addresses any errors in the original decision.
- Review Process: The Home Office will re-evaluate the decision, focusing on any mistakes or omissions. This process does not involve a new hearing but a review of the existing evidence and decision.
- Receive a Decision: The outcome will be communicated to you, usually with a revised decision or an explanation of why the original decision stands.
