The right to lodge an appeal against a student visa refusal to the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT) will be abolished when Tier 4 starts at the end of March.
Every day hundreds of appeals against Entry Clearance refusals are currently heard before an independent Immigration Judge at the AIT.
Around 25% of refusals are overturned on appeal, a staggering number considering that most appellants do not even show up in court, or opt to have their cases dealt with ‘on papers’ with no representation.
There is no fee payable to lodge an appeal to the AIT and have your case considered by a judge in the UK, and you do not have to use legal representation.
The right of appeal will be replaced by an “Administrative Review” – basically the case will be reviewed by another Entry Clearance Manager (ECM).
Entry Clearance refusals cases subject to appeal are of course already reviewed by an ECM before going on to a full hearing in the UK. According to appeal specialists Bison UK, the “vast majority of refusal cases are upheld by the Entry Clearance Officer’s (ECO) manager”.
However, where cases do reach the AIT for a full appeal the figures are reversed. In their experience, over 95% of the refusals upheld by the ECM were subsequently overturned by an Immigration Judge at the AIT hearing.
In other words, an independent Immigration Judge has deemed that 95% of those visa refusals were unlawful.
In one of Bison UK’s recent visa appeal cases, two Filipino Brothers (RRA and RJA) were on the same day both refused student visas to study NVQ in Health and Social Care at Majestic College in London.
The ECO at the British Embassy in Manila refused the young prospective students under section (ii) of paragraph 57 of the Immigration Rules (HC395).
Essentially, the ECO was saying that he did not believe they were coming to the UK to study and that they were only going to the UK to join their Mother and work.
No evidence for these accusations were put forward by the ECO, who based his refusal on what Bison UK’s appeal specialist said was “mere suspicion”.
At the hearing this month the judge disagreed and allowed both appeal stating in the written determination:
“I am satisfied that each appellant (the Brothers appealing) has established to the required standard that he meets the requirements of the Rules for entry clearance as a student”
He continues:
“I am not satisfied that the decision of the respondent (the Entry Clearance Officer) is in accordance with the law and immigration rules applicable to this appeal.”
In other words, the judge is saying the refusal is unlawful.
What chance do students have under the Tier 4 of the new points system?
The Government argues that because the points based system will be more transparent and fair, there will be no need for an appeal process.
Under tier 4, students will, say the Government, only be refused on factual information, such as fraudulent documents or lack of funds. Students will not be refused on purely “subjective” reasons such as:
“I am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your studies” or
“On the balance of probabilities I am not satisfied that you are a genuine student”.
This is commonly known as refusing on “intention”, something which, according to UK Border officials at a recent meeting in London, will not be allowed under the new system.
This is will be a major change for ECO’s who are used to acting on their own suspicions and opinions, and it remains to be seen what will happen in practice when the new system comes in at the end of March.
In the meantime you are free to exercise your fundamental right of appeal. Appeal cases are heard in the UK before an independent Immigration Judge, something you should consider when appointing an adviser to handle your appeal. An overseas lawyer will not be able to represent you at the all important hearing and you may end up paying separately for a UK based advocate.
Take advice from an OISC registered adviser or Solicitor to check on available options.
Finally, any applications submitted for a visa before tier 4 takes effect should carry the right of appeal if you are refused.

I am here to resolve my query regarding show of maintenance funds, UKBA has mentioned that
“You must be able to prove that the money has been available in your account for 28 days
before the date when you apply”
so i am here defining a scenerio so kindly help me for this : if i need to show 10,000 Pounds so
i have opened my account as on 1st March 2010 and
on 1st March, i deposited almost 20,000 Pound
since i would not be able to use this statement for my visa purpose before 28th of March 2010 (28 Days period)
but my question is that if i am going to apply on 30th of March 2010 and on 20th of March 2010
i withdraw 8,000 Pounds (12,000 pound is still in my account balance which is more than my principal amount of 10,000 pound) so can i use my account statement till 30th March 2010 (28 days) for my visa application
or UKBA would refused me because i have withdrew 8,000 pound from my account in the 28 days period of bank statement.
Conclusion is that : Can i withdraw money from my account for admission fees purpose or any purpose and
the balance amount would remain more than my required principle amount so UKBA can refuse me on this situation or not.
Or this would be the moral of the story that however you are withdrawing but your balance should not be less than the principal amount……
Please help me Sir,,,,

From what I understand, as long as you maintain the minimum level of funds (i.e. don’t make any withdrawls that take the balance below the minimum, even if a future credit raises the balance).

Hello Daniel,
(Hasan Shah,Pakistan)
i applied for uk study visa on june 2009 under tier 4 policy.when my case was in process,my college (Cecos london College) was suspended and removed from sponser register.British Embassy kept my passport till 6 months and i sent them a legal notice so they returned my passport and refused my application under 245ZV(c).In response of legal notice,they told me that delay was due to college licence suspention and asked me to go with administrative review and i sent review on 12 march 2010.Now 7 weaks are elapsed and still no answer from embassy
So my questions are
1.Will administrative review will go in my favour? or it was just wait waste of time?
2.Sould i sue them in court coz i have lost 1 year of study and embassy dont have a satisfactory answer that why they kept passport for so much time (i have some embassy mails and some more evidence and i can prove easily).
3.I wrote in review that decission was agianst Human Right acts coz its not student’s fault if college get suspended,it will effect on my case?

ECO comment:
Your CAS states that your english language ability was
tested by your uk sponsor by internal written test.However,during interview with a visa officer,you could speak english very little english.i am satisfied ,on the balance of probabilities that false representation were made in your visa application,that reason i have rached this conclusion are contain in the english language interview report held on file,i am therefore satisfied,to a higher degree of probability ,that you fall to be refused under the general grounds for refused as stated in sub-paragraph(a) of paragraph 245Z of the immigration rules and refused your application under paragraph 320(7A) of HC395.
You should note that because this application for entry clearance has been refused under paragrap 320(7a) of the immigration rules.any future applications may also be refused under paragraph 320(7b) of the immigration rules (subject to the requirements set out in paragraph 320(7c)
A refused under paragraph 320(7b) of the immigration rules attracts an automactic refused period of up to 10 years.the period starts from date of the previous event which deception or submission of falsified document or information was employed.
what should i do now??it will be automatically refused under the the paragraph 320(7B), which means i am screwed for 10 years!!! Is it true?

We lodged our visa with undeniably approvable requirements, but we don’t understand because we are still denied. Around 50 registered nurses coming from our agency applied and it is funny because 15 of them got 30pts and the rest 0 pt when in fact, we have the same school. Also, some were given 10pts for funds and some got 0 pt when in again, we followed the same requirement and this same fund was given 10pts when we lodged the first time.
If the embassy will just deny our visa for no credible reason, then what’s the point of VFS continue on receiving application? THEY ARE JUST AFTER OUR VISA FEE…. kakahiya ano?

Hi Rose
I’m afraid you’ll just have to wait to hear from them. Did you include a covering note with your payment? Hopefully they received it before they processed your application.
In any case, it doesn’t really matter now your college’s sponsor licence is suspended; all applications will be on hold until the situation is resolved.

Sir, UK High commission refused my tier 4 student visa. i have applied it in March 2010 and i got it 1 April 2010. I awarded 30 points but 10 points for maintenance i did not awarde why? High commission gives me reason that In CAS it is indicate that £1500 of £6500 have been paid and £5000 is pending tution fees.
But LSBF issue me CAS on 1 march 2010 and i paid £1500 in December 2009, and £5000 after issue a CAS on 4 March 2010, because LSBF metioned on CAS letter rest of the fees paid with in 30 days before start your course(MBA),
LSBF sent me original tution fees receipts on of for £1500 and £5000. According to me i have paid my full tution fees to college. and i have £11000 for living expenses in my Accout.
please Note it
when i submit my application in VFS. I have given both original tution fees receipts with my application. I had seen they attached a CAS letter and my original tution fees receipts (£1500 and £5000) with passport. Even in my bank statement it mentioned that on 4 march 2010 GBP 5000 is transfer.
I dont understand what should i have to do now.
1. According to me i have paid full fees £6500
2. I have proof for that which i showed to High commission original receipts
3. I have £11000 in my account for living expenses
I dont understand why they have not seen my original receipts. even it is mentioned on UKBA web site if candidate paid the tution fees after issue a CAS they have to show original receipts.
plz help me and tell me what should i do i dont want to spoil my career.

Hi Jeet
The financial information entered on the Appendix 8 Form and in the CAS record must match exactly. It seems to me that following your second payment, the school did not update your CAS record to reflect this payment. Do you have a copy of the Appendix 8 Form and CAS statement you used to apply?
You should take up this issue with your school. You will have to make a fresh application and be sure that all your information is correct before you apply. This is one of the good things about applying through an agent, as a good agent will ensure all of these details are correct for you.

Hi Deniel Hope you well
thanks for reply me
Actully you asked for appendix 8 form. yes on it i mentioned that i have paid all the fees. That i clear tell you
in my visa application along with my CAS I had included two original fee receipts
one confirming payment of GBP 1500 (by back transfer draft) this payment is also mention on the CAS
Two confirming payment of remained fees of GBP 5000 on the 4th march which is after my CAS was issued this fees receipts also clearly mentiond that there was no outstanding balance to be paid.
on tier 4 policy guidance it is clearly mentioned that
Cost of the course fees:
Your visa letter from your approved education provider showing the cost of your fees
Money already paid:
your visa letter showing what you have already paid; or•
an official receipt confirming you have paid some or all of your fees; • or
so it is the rule of UKBA how they could refused me.

OK, but Jeet, the number entered on the CAS must match the number you entered on the Appendix 8 form.
As I said in my original reply, you should ask the school what amount they entered in your CAS record – don’t tell them why (of course) – but get the figure. If they failed to update your CAS record after your payment, you should get them to pay for a new application.

You’ve already indentified the problem!
I’m not saying that the CAS reference number is wrong, I am saying that the number you entered on your Appendix 8 Form for total tutition paid and the number entered into the CAS record do not match. This is why your application was refused.
A CAS record can be updated right until the application is decided by an ECO. The school should have updated your CAS record – if you knew that your CAS record did not show the full amount paid – and the Appendix 8 Form tells you to make sure the 2 figures match – why did you enter the incorrect figure?
Why don’t you just apply for a new visa? Where’s the problem?

Dear Expert,
I am from Bangladesh and have been refused UK Visa Tier-4 for 245ZV. So I need your Advice that can I put administrative review on it or not? The exact refusal notice is as follows:
ECO Comment:
In view of the fact that you have claimed 10 points for funds under Appendix C of the immigration Rules, but the bank statement and covering letter you have provided from Islami Bank are dated 29/12/2009.These are more than one month prior to your date of application of 31/01/2010 as required by the Tier 4 Plolicy Guidance and do not qualify for points. I am therefore not satisfied that you have achieved 10 points under paragraphs 10 to 13 of Appendix C and meet the requirements to be granted entry clearance under Tier 4 (General) Student. I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 245ZV(c) of the immigration Rules.
Can you tell me what my best action to take?
Should I go for AR or not!?
What are success ratio in this case?
Or I should go for re-applying?!
Can you let me know where the decision of administrative review is sent either on the postal address or in my email Or both?
Can I apply for AR with my new bank Statement?

Hi Mizan
I think an administrative review would be a waste of time as your documents were incorrect; the rules surrounding maintenance funds are very strict. The dates must be exact and many people make simple errors. I would always recommend submitting bank statements / pass books showing cash funds and a letter from your bank stating that you have immediate access to the funds. This also serves to confirm that your statements are true and genuine.
A Tier 4 (General) student must show that he/she has held the required money for a consecutive 28 day period (finishing on the date of the closing balance) ending no more than 1 month before his/her application.
Where a student is providing evidence of maintenance from a single account, the ECO will always assess the funds available to the student from the closing balance given on the document provided as evidence.
If it was me, I would follow the above UKBA guidance to the letter and make a fresh application.

Dear, dont go for administrative review, just simply tell your sponsor (College / Uni) to reissue you a new CAS and take fresh Bank letter and statement from urs Bank account , i am assuming that you are currently maintaining the same account, which would already completed 28 days period infact it would complete 2 months or further till now, go apply again with fresh statement and CAS and having statement of more than 28 days will benefit u alot , do this and inshallah get definate visa.

Hi Fakhar
The majority of schools and colleges will now require proof of English ability. You should seriously consider studying for the IELTS or equivalent. The score you will need will vary from school to school. The minimum for a student visa is 3.5, but this is for language courses. Providers of ACCA courses should require a higher score than that.
Do you have any colleges in mind already and I can check for you? If not, perhaps I could suggest some for you?

Hi
The exact refusal notice is as follows:
ECO Comment:
You have claimed 10 points for maintenance. However, the back statement you have provided does not demonstrate that you were in possession of the required level of funds as it has found to be non-genuine. I am therefore not satisfied that you have achieved 10 points under paragraphs 10 – 13 of Appendix C and meet the requirements to be granted entry clearance under tier 4 (General) Student). I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 245ZV(c) of the immigration rules.
General Grounds for Refusal
ECO Comment:
You have submitted a statement of account issued by the National Bank Of Pakistan. However, as a result of checks made by this office, detailed in a document verification report, I am not satisfied that this document is genuine. As a false document has been submitted in relation to your application, it is refused under Paragraph 320(7A) of the Immigration Rules. I consider this reliance on suspect documentation as an attempt to gain entry clearance by deception.
You should note that because this application for entry clearance has been refused under paragraph 320(7A) of the Immigration Rules, any future applications may also be refused under paragraph 320(7B) of the immigration rules (subject to requirements set out in 320(7C)).
A refusal under 320(7B) of the immigration Rules attracts an automatic refusal period of up to 10 years. The period starts from the date of the previous event in which the deception or submission of falsified document or information was employed.
As your application has been refused on general grounds, it is also refused under paragraph 245ZV(a)
What should i do now? Someone told me that if i file a fresh case, it will be automatically refused under the the paragraph 320(7B), which means i am screwed for 10 years!!! Is it true? What options do i have now?

Hi Smart
It seems that you will now be subject to a 10 year ban on applying for a UK student visa for submitting false documents. Unless you were given the right of appeal, there is nothing you can do about his. You should certainly be having strong words with your bank to find out what the hell is going on.

hi i was refused under section 320 of the immigration rules i can provide all the evidences infavour my innosence. They send me back fro heathrow. I finished one of course their in sept2008 after a year study and took admission inmay 2009 for ACCA in LSBF. But when i was going back to uk from my india visit they detained me and send me back even i had all the relevant papers in my hand regarding my new admission. But i applied again and they banned me for ten years. They have written in the refusal letter that the docs produced by me to take admission for ACCA course is not mentioned in the visa letter which is really not my fault as i provided everything to FBT to get my admission there. I have applied for the administrative reviewbut havent got any reply or acknowledgement yet. May be it was not forwarded by the Omnisol helping hand a immigration consultant. because he always denied to give the copy which was send by hime for the review. So plz suggest me what should i do and if possible i would like to fight for my case because whatever happened to me was unjustice.

I checked it multiple times with my bank and i’m sure that my bank statement is 100 % genuine. If I file a fresh application, how can i satisfy the BHC that my bank statement is genuine? As i am actually in possession of funds, moving the funds is not a problem for me! I’m considering to open an account in a British bank (maybe Barclays or HSBC) and transfer my funds into that account to prove that I’m actually in possession of funds. Will that help?

Hi Farooq
If you’ve won a review but the sponsor’s licence is withdrawn permanently, your visa will be invalid and so too will be the review, from what I understand. Do you have enough time left on your visa to wait or do you need to change sponsor immediately?

Thank you for your reply Daniel. But, no I am now in Bangladesh.. my fresh application was rejected last year, i lodged an appeal which i won and i got the hearing result this december, same time my college license has been canceled. Now im confused as the VFS center called me to submit my pasport and updated offer letter to them! How am i supposed to take an updated offer letter as my college license has been canceled.. will i apply in a new college and then will i submit the new college visa letter?

Hi Adnan
I think you will have to wait for your education provider’s suspension to be lifted. After that your school or college can then issue you with a Confirmation of Acceptance For Studies, which is essentially a reference number, which you can then provide to VFS.
If you apply with a different college I’m pretty sure you will have to make a fresh application, so your appeal and all that time waited will have been in vain!
Keep me posted on your situation Adnan.

Do you mean that you need to renew your student visa? If so, you can renew your visa in the UK whilst your college is suspended from the Tier 4 Register of Sponsors, but you’re application will be put on hold until the suspension is lifted.
So you shouldn’t have to apply to a new college, unless your current college has their licence withdrawn permanently.
