Do you know if the MPs application to re-visit our original Entry Clearance application will be treated as ...

Sorry to hear about the refusal, ClaireM. I hope you are successful in your appeal. Can you tell me how long it was after you submitted your application that you received your results?

For anyone who has been to a hearing, can you tell me what kind of questions they ask. Do they only ask Q's that relate to why the application was refused, and the new evidence we provide?

Thanks for all your advice. I went to see a solicitor yesterday and she was very positive she said that she would fight all the points by saying that my salary enough is alone so that the bank accounts are not a problem and I have paid off my overdraft anyway. She will address the overstay by pointi...
