Obtain the reasoned refusal and notification record before choosing a remedy. A pending file is different from an explicit refusal. The route used for the original application determines the conditions that need to be examined.
The legal distinction
Administrative discretion is subject to judicial review, but bringing a court case does not itself confer citizenship. Any administrative request and its effect on time limits must be assessed under the applicable procedure.
Preparing your next step
Compare the refusal with the submitted file. Where public-order or security grounds are raised, address the actual available reasons and evidence. A new application should respond to the underlying problem instead of simply repeating the earlier submission.
