If your sponsor license, visa, or immigration application has been refused, the decision is not the end of your journey. At Fast Track Consultancy, we offer expert assistance with both Administrative Reviews and Appeals to challenge decisions made by the Home Office. Whether you are looking to challenge a sponsor license refusal, a visa rejection, or other immigration-related decisions, our experienced solicitors will provide the legal support you need to navigate the complex review and appeal processes effectively.
The administrative review and appeal processes can be critical to securing a positive outcome for your case. Understanding the complexities involved is crucial, and our team is here to ensure that your interests are represented with diligence and expertise. With our guidance, we work to give you the best chance of overturning unfavorable decisions and securing your legal standing.
An Administrative Review allows individuals or businesses to challenge an unfavorable decision made by the Home Office. It is a process used to identify whether a mistake was made in handling your application or sponsor license request. Administrative reviews are typically available in cases of sponsor license refusals, visa rejections, and certain immigration matters.
- Eligibility for Administrative Review: Not all decisions made by the Home Office are eligible for administrative review. This process is available for certain refusals, such as sponsor license applications or visa applications, as specified by the Home Office. You will need to verify if your case qualifies for review.
- Time Limits: The time frame for submitting an administrative review is typically 14 days from the date of the decision. Missing the deadline could forfeit your chance of challenging the decision, which is why timely action is essential.
- Review of the Original Decision: During the administrative review, the Home Office will review the decision based on the information provided in the initial application or documents. The Home Office will evaluate whether any legal or procedural mistakes were made when making the decision.
- Outcome of the Review: The result of an administrative review may either uphold the original decision, overturn it, or provide you with a chance to submit additional documentation to support your case. It is not a full reconsideration of the application but rather an assessment to identify errors in the original decision-making process.
In cases where the administrative review does not lead to a satisfactory outcome, you may be eligible to file an appeal. An appeal allows for a deeper evaluation of your case, where new evidence can be presented and additional arguments made to challenge the Home Office's decision.
- Eligibility to Appeal: An appeal can be filed if your case qualifies for one, depending on the type of decision you are challenging. It typically applies in cases such as visa refusals, sponsor license revocations, and certain other immigration matters.
- Filing the Appeal: After receiving an unfavorable decision, you have a set period—usually 28 days—to submit your appeal. It’s important to follow the correct procedure for filing the appeal, including filling out the appropriate forms and submitting any supporting evidence.
- Appeal Hearing: If your appeal progresses to a hearing, the case will be presented before an immigration judge. At this stage, you will have the opportunity to present new evidence, clarify any issues from the original decision, and argue your case.
- Outcome of the Appeal: The immigration judge will review all the evidence and decide whether to allow the appeal, overturning the Home Office's decision. If the appeal is successful, you can continue with your immigration process or reapply for your sponsor license.
At Fast Track Consultancy, we are committed to providing comprehensive legal assistance to help you navigate both administrative reviews and appeals with confidence. Our team of expert solicitors will work closely with you to understand the specifics of your case and offer the best possible strategy for success.

Based on this evaluation, we will develop a tailored strategy to challenge the decision. Whether you are looking to file an administrative review or an appeal, we will ensure that the correct approach is taken.
2. Preparing Your Case
Once we have developed a strategy, we will assist in gathering all necessary documentation and evidence to support your case.

In the case of an appeal, we will guide you in preparing new evidence, ensuring that your case is as compelling as possible.
