Challenge an Unfair UK Visa Refusal with a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP)
If your UK visa application has been refused unfairly, you may be able to challenge the decision through a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) before proceeding with a judicial review. At Visas 24/7, our expert immigration lawyers can help you draft and submit a strong legal challenge to UKVI.
What is a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP)?
A Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) is a formal legal letter sent to the UK Home Office before filing a judicial review. It outlines why the decision to refuse your visa is unlawful and requests a reconsideration, potentially avoiding costly court proceedings.
When Should You Use a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP)?
You may be able to challenge a refusal if:
-
Your visa or immigration application was wrongly refused.
-
UKVI failed to consider relevant evidence or made errors in law.
-
Your human rights or legal rights were breached.
-
You have no right of appeal or administrative review.
