PAP & Visa Appeals: What You Need to Know

Understanding Nexlex’s Role and Regulatory Boundaries

Facing a visa refusal can be distressing, especially after investing time and money into the process. For many, the natural next step is to challenge the decision through an appeal or Pre-Action Protocol (PAP). However, not all immigration advisors are authorised to assist with such matters.

At Nexlex Immigration UK Ltd, we are regulated at IAA Level 1, which means we cannot handle appeals, PAP letters, asylum claims, or tribunal representation. These services fall outside our regulatory scope.

 What Nexlex Can Help You With

While we do not assist with appeals or PAPs, we support our clients by:

• Advising on straightforward immigration applications such as family, visitor, student, and settlement visas.
• Reviewing refused applications and identifying general issues for future reapplications.
• Referring clients to qualified Level 2 or 3 immigration advisors or solicitors when their case falls beyond our Level 1 authorisation.

 What Falls Outside Our Scope

As an IAA Level 1 provider, Nexlex does not offer the following services:

• Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letters
• Appeals or tribunal hearings
• Judicial review proceedings
• Complex or human rights-based claims
• Asylum, deportation, or protection matters

If you are facing a refusal and need to appeal or legally challenge the decision, we will signpost you to experienced legal professionals who can represent you at higher levels.

 Why This Matters

UK immigration law strictly regulates who can provide certain levels of legal support. Engaging with an advisor beyond their authorised capacity can result in delays, refusals, or wasted costs. That’s why Nexlex is fully transparent about what we can and cannot do.

Our role is to support applicants before submission—helping ensure applications are strong, accurate, and compliant, to reduce the likelihood of refusal.
