Challenging Incorrect Immigration Decisions

Administrative review is a mechanism to challenge a visa refusal where the decision may have been made in factual or legal error — for example, where the decision-maker misapplied the law or failed to consider relevant information.

Our advisers assess the refusal decision, identify grounds for review, and prepare a thorough administrative review application.

When Administrative Review Applies

Error of law in the original decision
Failure to consider submitted evidence
Incorrect application of immigration policy or criteria
Factual errors in the decision
Procedural unfairness in how the decision was made
