Review of age decision
This page explains what you should do if you were refused a spouse/partner visa solely on age grounds.
If you were refused a visa solely on age grounds alone, between 27 November 2008 and October 2011 and you have not since made a successful application, you could have seek a review of that decision.
If you are applying to remain in the UK as a spouse or partner and you would like to seek a review, you should complete the review of decision form on the right side of this page and send it to:

PO BOX 3468

If you are applying for entry clearance (permission to enter the UK) as a spouse or partner you should complete the VAF4A application form, which you can download from the right side of this page. You will then need to provide your biometrics and submit your review request to the relevant visa application centre. Further information can be found under applying from outside the UK under the relevant category.
To find out if you are able to seek a review of that decision, please see the guidance on the right side of this page.
If you would like us to reconsider your case you should seek a review of the decision to refuse you a visa by 31 May 2012. This application for review is free of charge. If you apply after 31 May 2012 you will need to apply in the normal way and pay the relevant fee.
