Refusal recovery

A refusal notice is a list of instructions.

Upload it and get the plan for the next attempt, mapped ground by ground.

Three formats

Every mission refuses differently

Schengen refusals arrive as the standard form in Annex VI of the Visa Code, with numbered boxes ticked and no reasoning beyond them. UK refusals run to six sections and cite the Immigration Rules paragraph behind each ground. A US non-immigrant refusal is usually one slip citing section 214(b) and nothing else.

  • Schengen: numbered grounds read from the standard form
  • United Kingdom: Immigration Rules paragraphs, with the caseworker reasoning quoted
  • United States: 214(b), where what changes is the evidence rather than the wording

Confirm, never assume

You confirm what was read before anything is built on it

Parsed grounds are shown for you to check and correct. A plan built on a misread ground is worse than no plan, so the wizard will not move past this step on its own.

The plan

Add, replace, explain, keep

Each action answers a sentence in your notice, and says which one. Things the notice did not question are marked keep, so you do not rebuild a file that was already fine.

  • Add: evidence the notice says was missing
  • Replace: a document that did not do the job it was there to do
  • Explain: something true that reads badly without a sentence of context
  • Keep: the parts the caseworker did not question

Then

Start the next application from the plan

Everything marked keep carries over. Everything marked replace comes back as an open item on the new checklist, so nothing quietly slips through twice.

Find out tonight, not at the counter.

The free plan runs a full application end to end, including every check. It is not a trial.
