File Review & Refusal Consultations
If you’ve received a refusal letter or a procedural fairness letter, we understand how discouraging and stressful that can be. At Forghani Law, we’re here to help you make sense of what happened — and explore what options may still be available to you.
What Is a File Review?
A file review allows us to:
- Examine the reasons for refusal
- Identify errors, missing information, or procedural concerns
- Clarify whether your application was assessed fairly
- Evaluate the strength of your documents and submissions
If you haven’t received a full copy of your file or the officer’s internal notes, we can assist you in requesting them through an Access to Information and Privacy Act (ATIP) request.
- Examine the reasons for refusal
Why Timing Matters
Immigration refusals are subject to strict deadlines if you wish to:
- Submit a reconsideration request
- Reapply with updated or stronger evidence
- File for judicial review or legal challenge
A timely file review can help you take action before key deadlines pass.
How Forghani Law Can Help
During your consultation, we will:
- Review your refusal or procedural fairness letter in detail
- Discuss the circumstances that led to the decision
- Assess realistic next steps — whether reconsideration, reapplication, or challenge
- Help you understand your rights and responsibilities moving forward
Our goal is to provide you with clarity, strategy, and support when it matters most.
