No. 34 - Child Student Visas - UK Visa Appeal (#34)
If the UK Border Agency (UKBA) refuses to issue a child student visa, you may have the right to appeal the decision.
Appealing inside the United Kingdom
The UKBA will write to you giving details of why your application has been refused and what action is available to you, including any right to appeal.
If you have a right of appeal you should be provided with full details of your rights and an appeal form that you will need to fill in and return.
Administrative review outside the United Kingdom
If you applied outside the UK, you have a right to an administrative review, which is free of charge.
You must request a review of the refusal within 28 calendar days of the date the refusal notice was issued.
You can only ask for one administrative review for each application refused.
** Additional Information & Advice **
You can obtain further information about immigration law on FindLaw.
As discussed in a previous blog entry, the UK government introduced new rules for student visas earlier this year - so instead of researching online, you may prefer to speak with a solicitor who specialises in immigration law.
You can be matched with a solicitor for free via solicitor matching services, which can also help you to understand the best course of action for your situation and whether you are ready to hire a solicitor.
