Application for Leave and for Judicial Review
Your Path to Challenging Visa Decisions Starts Here
We understand the devastation unjust visa or immigration refusals can cause after months or years spent applying. But in many cases, legal options exist to challenge negative decisions. Our experienced immigration lawyer will guide you through pursuing applications for leave and for judicial reviews.
Understanding Judicial Review of Immigration Decisions
Judicial review allows a court to scrutinize visa/permit refusals assessing if due process was followed and whether the decision is reasonable based on the facts that were before the decision maker. Where deficiencies exist, the court can send the case back for redetermination by a different visa officer or even substitute its own decision related to the underlying application, although the outcome of most successful ALJRs is redetermination by a different visa officer.
Common Grounds for Seeking Review
Some frequent grounds warranting judicial intervention:
- Procedural unfairness and errors
- Inadequate consideration of evidence
- Misapplication of the law
- Errors assessing eligibility criteria
Our High Success Rate
Over decades of experience, we have sought judicial review for hundreds of unfair or unreasonable refusals – spousal sponsorships, work permits, temporary resident visas, applications on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, etc. Our in-depth knowledge means higher success rates on judicial reviews. In most cases when an application is returned to the visa office for redetermination, it is approved by the second visa officer.
Why Retaining Us Improves Chances
Pursuing judicial review without legal counsel knowledgeable in immigration laws can undermine your chances even if strong grounds for challenging a decision exist.
As your representative through the process, Szikinger Immigration Law brings value:
- Our experience lets us swiftly gauge chances of success for your specific visa refusal circumstances to avoid wasted time/money pursuing leaves without adequate grounds
- We identify the optimal legal arguments relevant to your case
In short, embarking on this complex legal process without competent counsel is risky. Engage our firm for the best prospects of receiving a visa after a refusal.
