Administrative Reviews – We send an email with further clarification or point out errors or incorrect conclusions reached by the ECO. You are not allowed to provide further documents. In most cases the original decision is maintained, so it is not always the appropriate step to take.

Costs – there is a £80 fee and the request must be lodged without delay. Strict time limits are applied usually 14 days if the application was made in the UK and 28 days if it was lodged from abroad. Please double check the permitted time to lodge an Administrative Review.

Appeals – You must be given the right to lodge an appeal for you to excurse this right. This could be in-country if you applied from within the UK, or out country appeal if you applied from outside the UK. Sometimes the Home Office will insist that you leave the UK if you want to lodge an appeal.

The Tribunal fee is £140 for an oral hearing and £80 for paper hearing. The tribunal fee does change from time to time and so this should be checked before lodging the appeal.

In an oral hearing you attend the Tribunal and give oral evidence or on paper where you submit the bundles of papers and the matters are decided on paper without your attendance. Please call 0203 191 8080 now to discuss your case and a fee quote from our Administrative Review lawyers in London.
