The Administrative Review is a process where an applicant whose application for entry clearance or leave to remain in the UK has been refused by Home Office, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requests that the decision be reconsidered; on the basis that the grounds for refusal was not in accordance with the appropriate and relevant facts and laws.
An Administrative Review against the rejection of an entry clearance application as a PBS Migrant should be made to the UKVI within 28 days upon the receipt of the refusal letter. The Entry Clearance Manager at the British Diplomatic Post (the British Embassy/High Commissioner/ Consulate) will review and give a decision on the Administrative Review request within 28 days by sustaining the rejection or withdrawing the reasons for refusal and agreeing to issue the entry clearance.
The Administrative Review against the refusal of an in-country application must be submitted to the Home Office, UKVI within fourteen days of the reception of the rejection letter or seven days for applicants who were in detention.
