Tier 2 Visa: Admin Review

Hi,

I applied for an in-country Tier 2 Visa on 27th December 2018. On 5th Jan 2019 my visa got refused because of an error on my part: as a new entrant you can apply for a visa of max. 3 years however, i did not know that and I applied for 5 years so the home office considered me as an experienced worker and refused my visa as my salary did not meet the minimum requirements for an experienced worker.

I was able to apply for an admin review where I explained my mistake. I applied for this admin review on 7th January 2019. Its been 3 weeks and I have not heard anything. Their deadline to respond to me is 4th February 2019 (28 calendar-day response period).

Does anyone have any previous experience in this situation? Is it normal for them to take this long?

Many thanks.

AR will fail. Admin Review is for when HO has made an error not the applicant.

You need a new CoS and have to apply again.

Thank you for your response.

Just another query: is it normal for them to take this long to respond to ARs?

Yes. They have 28 days to respond and sometimes it can take longer than that.

Not sure why you opted for AR when HO made no error in refusing the application.

Thank you for your help.

1. You should start your own topic rather than tagging onto someine else's topic.

2. The salary depends on your SOC, which is why you should start your own topic or continue in one you already have.

Hi,

My admin review was a success with my application being sent back to the original caseworker. My question is how long will the case worker now take to revert back with a new decision? Also, my current visa expires on 19th Feb 2019. Am I entitled to stay in the UK until I hear back from the caseworker?

Many thanks

Hi,

I would be super grateful for any insight.

Many thanks

Yes you can stay until you hear from them

Thank you.

And how long do you think it will take for the caseworker to revert back?

Many thanks.

I dont know

Hi,

It's been 8 weeks since my application was sent back to the original caseworker after a successful admin review and I haven't had any update. I wrote a letter to UKVI with no avail. Similarly, calls to the contact centre were met with 'no service standard for your situation' or 'i don't know'.

Can someone advise me regarding potential next steps?

Thank you

I too in the same situation as u

Kindly share you Admin Review timeline please.

Who do you think does the Admin Review??? It is done by UKVI, not some random third party.

Don't assume members are ignorant and I suggest you read the forum rules, as you were required when you joined the forum, particularly about tagging onto other members threads.
