When asked why the immigration solicitor did not recommend an administrative review to explain to the Home Office the first application was a mistake and that we wanted the 5-year entry visa, the complaint manager completely misunderstood the question and referenced the second refusal.
UK MIGRATION LAWYERS COMPLAINT FEEDBACK
“The refusal was not one to which it would be appropriate or reasonable to seek Judicial Review particularly given that the lack of grounds upon which to bring any such action.
Such unmeritorious judicial reviews are considered an abuse of the Courts and Tribunals system and can have grave consequences for clients who pursue them and regulatory action against Solicitors who accept such instructions. I am satisfied that Miss Xxx offered the best and most reasonably appropriate remedies open and available to you given your circumstance.”
OUR COMMENTS
But very happy to abuse the Courts and Tribunals system on a futile appeal.
KENNEDYS LAW – 6 July 2023
”In terms of “improving the chances of success”, the earlier application your Client made himself had no prospect of success as it was the incorrect visa for him to apply for – as a visitor, he was not able to switch to another visa category without leaving the UK and applying for entry clearance from South Africa. It was bound to fail whereas the application our Client made had reasonable chances of success given the concession. Indeed, this was the only application using the Covid concession that our Client had refused.”
AND
“The Client Care Letter clearly set out the options/routes available to your Client. Amongst the three options presented, one option was to appeal the 27 January 2021 refusal.”
