Appeals and Judicial Review
A refusal is not always the end of the matter. We review what went wrong and advise honestly on whether, and how, it can be challenged.
This is for you if your immigration application has been refused and you want to know whether, and how, it can be challenged.
What We DoA realistic view of your options
We review the refusal decision, identify the route available to you, whether Administrative Review, a tribunal appeal, or Judicial Review, and prepare your case. Where a challenge isn't realistic, we tell you that too, rather than taking on work that isn't in your interest.
Someone we've helped overturn a refusal
“My application was refused due to a non-disclosure issue, and I honestly thought there was no way forward. Flashpoint Legal took the time to properly understand my case, rebuilt it strategically, and addressed the concerns in a way I hadn't even considered. The result was a successful outcome.”
Daniel · Ghana, Refusal Overturned

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an appeal and an Administrative Review?
An Administrative Review asks the Home Office to check its own decision for a case-working error. An appeal takes the decision to an independent tribunal. Which is available depends on the type of application refused.
What is Judicial Review?
Judicial Review challenges a decision on the basis that it was reached unlawfully, rather than re-arguing the facts. It's generally used where no appeal or Administrative Review is available, or those routes have been exhausted.
How long do I have to challenge a refusal?
Time limits are strict and vary depending on the route being used, so it's important to get advice as soon as you receive a refusal.
Will challenging a refusal affect my ability to stay in the UK while it's considered?
This depends on the type of challenge and your circumstances. We advise on your position at the outset, not after the challenge is already underway.
Can every refusal be challenged?
No. Some refusals have limited or no challenge available. We give you a realistic view of your options before you commit to a course of action.
