Visa Refusal Assesment
At Zenith Lawyers, we endorse strategic working practices that allow us to help clients challenging visa refusals. The immigration rules set out circumstances that allow ground for refusal. Applicants wishing for entry clearance or leave to remain must meet suitability requirements and specific validity and eligibility criteria stated across immigration routes and visa categories, to avoid such grounds for refusal.
General grounds for refusal:
- Exclusion or deportation order.
- Nonconducive (not beneficial to the public good).
- False representations and such.
- Previous breach of immigration laws.
- Failure to provide required information and such.
Other grounds for refusal are also valid, such as those relating to exclusion from asylum or humanitarian protection, debt to the NHS, or unpaid litigation costs, or where a person wishes to enter or stay in the UK for purposes not covered by these immigration rules.
In some cases multiple grounds for refusal or cancellation of a visa can apply.
The Home Office may adopt a subjective position of the applicant’s circumstances despite having the correct documentation. It can even refuse further applications on the basis of previous refusals.
If your visa application has been refused, then you should have received a refusal notice. The refusal notice will state the legal reasoning for the refusal. Frequently, the language used and the immigration rules cited are difficult to understand. However, it is imperative that the reasons and grounds for refusal are addressed in any subsequent visa applications.
We understand that effects of receiving a refusal notice can be distressing, confusing and costly. We will examine every potential to challenge the refusal to ensure you receive a fair assessment.
