Your Visit Was Denied: How to Request an Administrative Review in Oregon (for Deer Ridge Visitors)
If your visiting application for Deer Ridge was denied, you can request an administrative review when you have a clear reason the decision should be reconsidered. Oregon DOC may grant a review if the denial was based on incorrect information or if there was an error in determining your eligibility. A review is also an option when something about your eligibility has changed - but you'll need to prove it with updated official records. Timing matters here: those records must be submitted within the 60-day administrative review period, so start gathering your paperwork right away.
- ✓ The denial was based on incorrect information
- ✓ An error was made in determining you were ineligible to visit
- ✓ Your eligibility-related circumstances changed, and you can include updated official records within the 60-day review period
- Get the CD‑1594 (Administrative Review) form - This is the form an AIC or a prospective visitor uses to request an administrative review of a denied visiting application for Deer Ridge.
- Fill out every section - Complete the form fully so Visiting Services has what it needs to review your request.
- Explain why you’re requesting the review - Use the space provided to identify the reason for your request and include the information you want considered to determine eligibility.
- Attach your supporting documents - Include all documents you want considered with your CD‑1594 submission.
Tip: Treat your explanation like a short, clear statement of what was wrong (or what changed) and what documents you’re including. If you attach records, label them so it’s easy to match each document to the point you’re making.
Your CD‑1594 request must be received by Visiting Services within 60 days of the date on your denial letter. Don't wait until the last week - mail delays won't extend the deadline.
Mail the completed CD‑1594 to: Visitor Services 3723 Fairview Industrial Drive SE STE 200 Salem, OR 97302-4975
Once you submit your administrative review request, the Director's designee makes the final call. There's no further appeal after that, so take the time to make your CD‑1594 complete and include every document you want considered.
