Obviously it meant nothing, because nothing has happened. The 15 days for review are well up so I guess I wait till November and see if they bother sending all the documents to the UK for a court appeal.

It WAS lodged throught the IAC. This is the stage where the ECO/ECM is allowed to review the decision. I just thought it a strange email and was asking if anyone else had seen a similiar one, as NOTHING about this application or appeal has been "normal" when reading through the forum.

Appeal

I have another week to wait for the 15 business days that the post is allowed to review. Am hoping the ECM sees what the ECO didn't, as it's been over 6 months since the application package was received by the post. If they don't overturn it themselves, they have till November to send everything bac...

I don't think she'd feel the same way if they didn't give her the opportunity to submit the further documentation and just refused though. As they have done with several other people.

Perhaps you are not aware of the 28 days to file for an appeal. As for the amount of money it is how I said it was - in 3 different bank accounts- 2 have been sitting for years, and the 1 current account that the ATM receipt was for. In fact, 1 of the accounts was a copy of the bankbook is question,...

So no one has been to an oral appeal? Or has any advice on what to submit other than current bank statements?

They were given the statements for 3 different accounts - 2 accounts where the money has sat for years (around £10,000), and 1 current account, that £137.35 is put into each week. Including the ATM receipt was a last minute thought of my fiance's as he thought they would link the last 4 numbers of t...

Oops, when I re-read that I see what you mean. What I meant is that we do want a simple lifestyle. No credit cards, where you buy only what you can afford to pay cash for, and save for anything else.

This is my situation: I'm engaged to an British citizen by birth, he owns his own home (no mortage), and has about £7000 savings. He's currently getting £132 a week in pension credits. Does anyone know if a fiance visa would be refused on the basis of the £132 a week? I've tried asking the HO a c...
