Administrative Review is a process in which anyone applying for entry clearance / visa applications can challenge its refusal on the basis that the decision is incorrect due to a case working error.
You can only ask for an administrative review if all of the following apply:
- you’re outside the UK
- you applied outside the UK
- your application was refused on or after 6 April 2015
- you do not have a right of appeal against the refusal
- you did not make an application as a short term student or a visitor (except if you applied as an S2 Healthcare Visitor)
You must apply for an administrative review within 28 days of getting the decision. The cost is £80.
Withdraw your request
Your request for an administrative review will be withdrawn (cancelled) if you make any other immigration or visa application.
Your request will be rejected if you ask for a review of a previous decision after submitting a new application.
You can email the Home Office and ask for your request to be withdrawn.
