Highlights

We successfully challenged a Home Office refusal of an Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) application through Administrative Review. Our clients had exceeded the 180-day absence limit due to the necessity of extending their visas from overseas during the COVID-19 pandemic. This extended absence was caused by delays in the Home Office’s processing, which were entirely beyond their control.

We argued that the Home Office had failed to properly apply the Immigration Rules and Guidance by not accounting for the exceptional circumstances which caused the breach of the 180-day limit. Through strategic engagement with the Home Office and a Member of Parliament, we ensured that the Administrative Review was handled appropriately and expeditiously. The challenge was successful, and our clients were granted ILR, resolving the matter in their favour.
