If you’re sure that your refusal was unwarranted e.g the reasons they gave for refusing you were unfounded then you can appeal for administrative review. Despite saying visitor visa refusals can’t be appealed if you have strong grounds and lay a complain (go through their complain page), you can be successful. My best friend got her refusal overturned after filling a complain. Took about a month but they overturned it.

Good Evening house,this is my first time on Uk thread. I have gone thru several pages to see if any one has a refusal case similar to mine but didn’t see. I applied for Uk visa for my family sometime in Feb and my hubby being the sponsor. That wasn’t our first visa- we’ve had several Uk visas issued to us but we had a break (abt 8yrs)from visiting uk. Lo and behold for the flimsiest reason we were denied and slammed with No appeal and no administrative review.
We however heard That we can ask for a review becos it was too obvious eco probably got things mixed up. Now my request: @ justwise @frontpagelawyer and all the gurus in house, what email ad can I sent my plea for review to. Thanks for your response.

Going to the embassy is not hard. You don’t need an appointment, they won’t allow you to enter regardless. But they will collect your collection paper and the email from UKVI and go in with it and check if your passport is there and tell you when to expect it.
My friend was able to get hers by going to the embassy twice to enquire about her passport after UKVI told her they had made a decision a while back and she should have received her documents.

I have not gone to the embassy but I did call the embassy last week Wednesday to complain about it but they asked me to call back which I did but no one answered.. I would have gone to the embassy but my problem is how do i just go to the embassy when I didn't submit my passport there and gaining entrance there would be difficult if I don't have any appointment with them. Because I have to go thru the security protocols and we know it won't be easy to beat them. If by next week I don't hear from the embassy or TLS then I will have to go to the embassy to push my luck there. As it is am worried about my passport.

Did you go to the embassy? You have a better shot of finding out what is happening with your passport if you go to the embassy. TLS can’t do much if they don’t have the passport with them. Once the passport is not with UKVI then it’s either with the embassy or TLS and since TLS said it’s not there then most likely embassy.

U can't believe until this moment I have not gotten my passport, I went to TLS on Wednesday and they told they don't have my passport yet even after I showed them the email from UKVI dat my passport has been sent to them 2 weeks before.. it's been 2 months since I applied.. they asked me to wait or withdraw my application, I had to fill the form for withdrawal just to see my passport cos I want to be sure of wats going on.. they said they will send me an email to come pick up.

My question now is if the visa was issued, will it be cancelled because of my withdrawal??

I think you need to go to TLS or the high commission. Probably print this letter and go along with it. My two cents.

I got this email from UKVI,

And till this moment I have been checking my mail box repeatedly but I have not gotten any pick up email from TLS. And it was last week Thursday I called UKVI last. What cud probably be the cause of the delay from TLS
