At Nara Solicitors, we recently assisted a 58-year-old mother of a Skilled Worker Leave to Remain holder in overcoming a UK visitor visa refusal. Despite strong evidence, her application was unfairly denied for "insufficient ties" to her home country.
The family approached us after the refusal, and we swiftly took action. We challenged the decision by way of a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP), notifying the Home Office of our intention to pursue a Judicial Review if the refusal wasn’t overturned within 14 days.
Our detailed intervention resulted in an immediate response from the Home Office, overturning the refusal and requesting the applicant’s passport within just 2 days of the PAP response.
If you’ve faced a visitor or tourist visa refusal and the Home Office has stated that you have no right of appeal or administrative review—don’t worry! You can still challenge the decision through Judicial Review, subject to meeting certain legal requirements. This must be initiated within 90 days of the refusal and includes a 14-day Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) process to request reconsideration.
