You can apply for an Administrative Review of child student visa refusal if your application as a child student is refused by Home Office UKVI. You can apply for Administrative Review (AR) of refusal of following applications as a child student migrant:

Administrative Review (AR) Of Child Student Visa Entry Clearance Refusal

If your application for entry clearance as a child student is refused by the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO), you can apply for Administrative Review (AR) of the refusal of your entry clearance application. A request for an Administrative Review (AR) should be filed within 28 days after the date of receipt of the notice of refusal from the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO).

The most common reason for refusal in child student visa entry clearance application is normally based on the allegation by the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) that the applicant is not a genuine child student. It is very common for the Entry Clearance Officers (ECOs) to derive adverse inferences from the contents of the immigration interview of the applicant in alleging that the applicant is not a genuine child student.

The Entry Clearance Manager (ECM) must consider and decide the Administrative Review (AR) within 28 calendar days of the receipt of the request for Administrative Review (AR). If the Entry Clearance Manager (ECM) is convinced by the arguments presented in the grounds for Administrative Review (AR) that the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) has made case working error in deciding the entry clearance application of the child student Migrant, the decision of the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) to refuse the application will be reversed and the applicant will be required to submit his/her passport for the issue of the entry clearance to the child student.

If the Entry Clearance Manager (ECM) maintains the decision of the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) to refuse the child student visa entry clearance application, the applicant then has the option to file Pre Action Protocol (PAP) and Judicial Review (JR) against the refusal of his/her entry clearance application. In some cases, filing a fresh entry clearance application for child student visa may be appropriate rather than challenging the refusal by way of Judicial Review (JR). It is also possible to file fresh application as well as Judicial Review (JR) against the refusal of child student application.

Administrative Review Against Refusal Of An In-Country Application As A Child Student

You can apply for Administrative Review (AR) if your application for switching into child student visa or renewal/extension of child student visa is refused by the Home Office Home Office UKVI. You can apply for Administrative Review Online. There is a fee of £80 for applying for an Administrative Review (AR). The Administrative Review (AR) must be filed within 14 days from the date of receipt of the UKVI refusal letter. The review of the refusal of your child student application will be done by a different person, but using the same documents and facts sent with your original application. If the result of the Administrative Review (AR) is that the Home Office withdraws its original decision and grants you leave to remain in the UK (permission to stay), your fee paid for Administrative Review (AR) will be refunded. You should get a decision within 28 calendar days. The Home Office, UKVI will write to you if they think it will take longer. You cannot be removed from the UK whilst your request for Administrative Review (AR) is pending consideration with the Home Office, UKVI.

If the Home Office UKVI maintains its decision to refuse your in-country application as a child student, you then have the option to file Pre Action Protocol (PAP) and Judicial Review (JR) against the refusal of your application. In some cases, filing a fresh application as child student may be more appropriate rather than challenging the refusal by way of Judicial Review (JR). It is also possible to file fresh application as well as Judicial Review (JR) against the refusal of child student visa application.

I am extremely grateful to Sunrise Solicitors for successfully handling what was a very difficult and complicated immigration matter for my family. My husband is living in Congo and has sole responsibility for our four children. We needed to make five entry clearance applications, and I knew from the beginning that the case would not be straightforward. With the help, dedication and professionalism of Mr Amir Naviwala and Mr Usman Ahmad, we achieved a positive outcome on all five applications. Choosing Sunrise Solicitors was genuinely one of the best decisions I have made. The team worked incredibly hard on our case, paid attention to every detail and gave us support throughout the process. Their knowledge, commitment and determination made what felt like an almost impossible situation achievable. I would also like to give a special thank you to Miss Jerin and Maaz for all of their assistance. Everyone worked together as a team and put a tremendous amount of effort into preparing and presenting the applications properly. Receiving positive decisions on all five entry clearance applications has meant so much to me and my family. I cannot thank Sunrise Solicitors enough for the hard work they put into our case and for helping us reach this outcome. I would highly recommend Sunrise Solicitors to anyone dealing with a difficult immigration matter. Thank you again to Mr Amir Naviwala, Mr Usman Ahmad, Miss Jerin, Maaz and the entire Sunrise Solicitors team.

I had a great experience with Sunrise Solicitors, especially with Asif Rizwy. He supported me through my ILR application and was always there to answer my questions, reassure me and guide me through the whole process. Everything was handled with so much care and attention, and I am incredibly grateful for all the work he put into my application. I’ve now received my Indefinite Leave to Remain! Thank you so much, Asif!

Tariq has been the most amazing help over the past several months. He guided my husband and I through our Fiance visa and Partner FLR M visa. Both times Tariq made sure we provided ample evidence, submitted everything in a timely manner, and communicated any potential issues. We are so grateful for everything and highly recommend this practice to anyone needing similar services!
