Obtain the full refusal decision and evidence of when it was notified. A short online status message may not explain the legal grounds. Refusal of a new application, non-renewal and cancellation of an existing permit must be distinguished.
The legal distinction
An administrative request, a fresh application and a court challenge serve different purposes. Filing a case does not automatically provide lawful residence in every situation. Any separate deportation decision has its own procedure and short deadline.
Preparing your next step
Keep the submitted application, supporting evidence, travel history and notification record. Identify whether the stated reason can be corrected and whether the available remedy can still be used. Do not assume that submitting the same documents again resolves the refusal.
