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.
