UK Student Visa Refusal Overturned on Administrative Review

The Challenge

T.B. had been refused a UK Student visa on credibility grounds — the Entry Clearance Officer did not believe her sponsor (her uncle) would genuinely fund her studies. The refusal cited "inconsistent statements" about the uncle's business. T.B. had provided bank statements but no business registration documents.

Our Strategy

David filed an Administrative Review within the 28-day window. The refusal contained a specific factual error: the officer stated T.B. had said her uncle owned a single business when the interview notes clearly showed she had described two. We requested the interview transcript under the Subject Access Request process, obtained it, and submitted it with the Administrative Review. The Review Entry Clearance Manager accepted that the refusal was based on a misreading of the record, and overturned the decision.

The Outcome

Overturned on Administrative Review after 34 days. T.B. received the visa without needing to reapply.

I was going to just reapply and pay the fee again. David found the mistake in the officer's own notes. That saved me six months. — T.B., Accra, Ghana
