If your Entry Clearance application under the Point Based System is refused by the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO), you have a right to apply for Administrative Review of the decision of the Entry Clearance Officer. The Administrative Review application should be made within 28 days of the date of receipt of the refusal letter. The Administrative Review against the decision of the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) is conducted by the Entry Clearance Manager (ECM).
If your request for administrative review is refused and the refusal is maintained by the Entry Clearance Manager (ECM), you have the option to challenge the refusal by way of Judicial Review in High Court within 90 days from the date of the refusal letter.
