Refused for a UK Visa?

Denial of Entry Clearance occurs when a Visa Officer is unsatisfied with the visa application, for a variety of possible reasons.

Based on the information provided on the visa application form and supporting documents, the UK Immigration Department may refuse the application, taking into account that the applicant has no reason to travel to the United Kingdom.

For genuine candidates, there are consistently admirable chances of getting a UK visa after refusal. Moreover, the application can be overturned by consequently applying for an AR (Administrative Review) or JR (Judicial Review).

There are also chances of acquiring a UK visa after a reapplication, particularly if an error has been made by the Entry Clearance Officer in the UK Refusal Letter, where related information or documents submitted along with the application may have been overlooked.

You may avoid a refusal by focusing on the common grounds that may lead to the visa denial:

Lack of clarity of purpose
Incorrect filling of the forms
Unformatted documentation
Lack of clarity of purpose
Non-justifiable purpose
Non-disclosure of material information
False representation
Forgery and fraud
Noncooperation with the authorities, such as not appearing in an interview 

In the year 2020, there were 35,202 Pakistan Nationals applied for the UK Visit Visa from all over the world. However, 13,732 or 39.01% were denied the UK Visa.

The core reasons for a visa denial are the lack of guidance or rather, misguidance. Hence, it is important to adequately understand the correct process of an application and submit a complete case to the British Embassy or High Commission. More often than not, incomplete information could be a leading factor in causing harm to the UK visa application.

• The applicant does not meet basic visa requirements.
• The purpose of the visit is not clear.
• The applicant did not disclose the material facts related to the visa application process.
• There is not enough money to go on a UK tour or business visa.
• The candidate had stayed longer or had submitted false documents on a previous trip to the UK.
• Fraud: Submitting false or fraudulent documents.
• Deportation order: When the applicant receives the deportation order.
• If the applicant commits an offence punishable by a prison sentence of 4 years or more.

In most of the Entry Clearance applications for UK Visa, there are no appeal rights for the applicant. However, the applicant may seek Administrative Reviews in some cases.

Administrative Review is a process where an individuals challenges the visa refusal made by an Entry Clearance Officer.

The Admin Review or AR can be filled only for the following applications within 28 days after receiving the decision outside the UK.

* All PBS applications (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 4 and Tier 5 Visas)
* Sole Representative Visa

There is no right to seek an Administrative Review for the denial of a Tourist Visa, Family Visitor Visa, or Business Visa. The only option is to reapply for the application along with proper information and supporting documents.
