In most of the Entry Clearance applications for UK Visa, there are no appeal rights for the applicant. However, the applicant may seek Administrative Reviews in some cases.

Administrative Review is a process where an individual’s challenges the visa refusal made by an Entry Clearance Officer.

The Admin Review or AR can be filled only for the following applications within 28 days after receiving the decision outside the UK.

* All PBS applications (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 4 and Tier 5 Visas)

* Sole Representative Visa

Denial of Entry Clearance occurs when a Visa Officer is unsatisfied with the visa application, for a variety of possible reasons.

Based on the information provided on the visa application form and supporting documents, the UK Immigration Department may refuse the application, taking into account that the applicant has no reason to travel to the United Kingdom.

For genuine candidates, there are consistently admirable chances of getting a UK visa after refusal. Moreover, the application can be overturned by consequently applying for an AR (Administrative Review) or JR (Judicial Review).

There are also chances of acquiring a UK visa after a reapplication, particularly if an error has been made by the Entry Clearance Officer in the UK Refusal Letter, where related information or documents submitted along with the application may have been overlooked.

You may avoid a refusal by focusing on the common grounds that may lead to the visa denial:

• Lack of clarity of purpose
• Incorrect filling of the forms
• Unformatted documentation
• Lack of clarity of purpose
• Non-justifiable purpose
• Non-disclosure of material information
• False representation
• Forgery and fraud
• Noncooperation with the authorities, such as not appearing in an interview
