If your UK visa or immigration application has been refused due to a factual or case-working error, you may be eligible to request an Administrative Review. This process allows you to challenge the decision without needing to go to court—offering a faster, cost-effective way to correct mistakes made by the Home Office.
An Administrative Review is available to individuals who received a refusal decision on a points-based or non-points-based visa application, such as:
Skilled Worker Visa
Student Visa
Global Talent Visa
Innovator or Start-up Visa
Settlement (ILR) Applications
Extension or switch applications within the UK
You may request an Administrative Review if you believe there has been an error in how your application was processed—such as incorrect interpretation of evidence, misapplication of the rules, or factual mistakes.
You must usually apply within 14 or 28 days, depending on whether the refusal was made inside or outside the UK. The Home Office will re-examine your application and issue a fresh decision.
It is important to note that new evidence is generally not allowed—the review is based on the documents originally submitted.
