"A report just published by the Independent Monitor for Entry Clearance suggests that in 2003 UKVisas wrongly denied 18,000 people a right of appeal against refusals of applications for entry to the UK to study or visit family. The Independent Monitor has referred the individual cases in her sample to UKVisas with a recommendation that they are granted a new gratis application for a visa."
