Judicial Review What is the UK visa Judicial Review and how can you apply? – answered by a UK visa refusal consultant in India The Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) is responsible for the Judicial Review of certain decisions made by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, entry clearance officers, and others, under immigration legislation. Where the Home Office (UKVI) has refused an application for entry clearance or leave to remain and has not granted a right of Appeal against the Refusal of the application, such a refusal can be challenged by way of Judicial Review (JR) within 90 days from the date of the refusal letter. 5/7
Per Civil Procedure Rules, a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) notice must be sent to the Home Office (UKVI), allowing them at least 14 days to review their decision and change their decision considering the information/documentary evidence given through the Pre-Action Protocol letter. The main aim of the PAP is to avoid unnecessary litigation. It is possible that because of the Pre-Action Protocol letter, the Home Office (UKVI) may review their decision to refuse the application and either maintain the refusal or grant approval on the visa application. If the decision to refuse is maintained or the Home Office does not respond to the Pre- Action Protocol letter within the stipulated time, applicants can apply to the Upper Tribunal for permission to apply for Judicial Review. Such an application is made on papers; the court will refuse and grant permission on papers without a court hearing. Re-apply The applicant may submit a new application that addresses the reasons for rejection along with new supporting documentation and the visa fees. Making a new application has no time restriction. So, following the denial of the UK visa, the applicant is free to re- apply. Any visa application can face a refusal from the UK Immigration authorities for a number of reasons, including those listed below. The following are the most typical reasons why a UK visa would be rejected: Providing incorrect or fake documentation is deception. If the applicant is the subject of a deportation order. If the applicant has a criminal record that calls for a minimum 4-year jail sentence. Concealing information about any criminal history on purpose. Not enough money to travel to the UK. On a prior visit to the UK, the applicant overstayed their visa or provided falsified documentation. The applicant does not adhere to the requirements for the visa, such as providing a medical report or submitting a biometric scan or photograph. The applicant lacks a passport or other acceptable form of identification. The applicant has not revealed any significant information about the visa application procedure. Do not get disheartened if you got a refusal on your UK visa there is still a chance left to get it right the next time. It is always advised that the applicant must seek professional help before making any visa application by themselves because the UK’s immigration laws can be difficult to navigate and mistakes in the application form result in refusals and sometimes, denial of entry for up to 10 years. 6/7
