Dear All Please see connected post. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=518608#518608 Dear All: I have now been following up with the Dy HC with regards the issue of my father's Returning Resident's Visa.

Dear All, Had a call (in the UK !!)from the UKBA Dy HC that they're ready with my dad passport to be collected. Am impressed with their efficiency. However they're still asking for my dad to sign an APP09 (withdrawal of appeal) - which is contrary to APL1.9, APL1.20 and APL1.21. Please advise ! Thx ...

Dear All: I have now been following up with the Dy HC with regards the issue of my father's Returning Resident's Visa. When I get through on their helpline (which is not easy) - I am told that the passport/application is going through "automated mandatory checks". When I asked what this me...

Dear All - am going to send a letter via email to the UKBA, so appreciate any last minutes thoughts. [quote="concerned _sponsor"]It is not my father who has to withdraw his appeal, because that is still a valid appeal against a refusal (S as EDP). Rather, it is the UKBA, who have to “Wit...

Dear Reviewers and Respondents, Appreciate your help so far. I have prepared a draft letter to the Dy HC and wanted to send it to you, just so as to make sure that I haven't stated something which is incorrect, and also that I am not providing an opportunity to the Dy HC to delay matters further. Wo...

Yes, sad to see this go. I have had very good advice (phone,e mail, in person) from the IAS Solicitors. See announcement on the IAS website. http://www.iasuk.org/home.aspx It has been announced today that the Immigration Advisory Service (IAS) went into administration: http://www.legalservices.gov.u...

Hello Immigration Lawyer, Thanks for your comments. (1) The first application was that for a Returning Resident, if they issue that visa first, then there is no need for my father to get another visa as a Settling Elderly Dependant Parent. If they withdraw their Refusal and my father doesn't submit ...

Thanks Greenie, The visa fee refund is a nice to have. The important learning for me is that the Dy HC (in respect of the S as EDP) have to withdraw their refusal, rather than my father withdrawing his appeal. Any thoughts on whether I should correspond with the Dy HC peempting their response, or wa...

I have done some further reading, it is my humble opinion that the Dy HC should withdraw their refusal of the "S as EDP" Application .... this then has the effect of that appeal becoming void. Furthermore, when my father appealed, the appeal (S as EDP) bundle was very strong, addressing al...

Dear Obie - this comment refers, I think, to an ECM review, when the ECM decides to issue the visa, then the appeal becoems void. In the case of my father, the appeal for the Returning Resident has been successsful, and the Appeal for the Settlement as Elderly Dependant Parent is outstanding. My und...

Just out of interest why do you want to continue if your father has been granted? My father has been granted Returning Residents through a successful appeal. My father would have liked the HC, on the Settlement as Elderly Dependant Parent Visa issue, to remove/delete the refusal entry on his passpo...

I asked the same question and kept getting stonewalled - this is the Dy HC at Mumbai, India. They don't provide information, don't give estimated completion times, and that's when you do get through to their helpline - they're an absolute law unto themselves.

Dear "Obie", "IMMIGRATION LAWYER" and "vinny"; One other follow-up point - when I spoke to the Dy HC a couple of days ago, they said that they would be writing to my father in a few days time, asking him to come into the (Dy) HC (about 600 kms / 400 miles from where he ...

Dear "Obie", "IMMIGRATION LAWYER" and "vinny"; Thanks for your review and prompt responses. Your replies caused me to re-read the Appeals Procedures. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ecg/appeals/aplprocedures#534431382 [b]APL1.20 Applicant makes fresh application while an a...

My father applied in Oct 2010 to enter the UK as a Returning Resident (RR). This application (the RR or the "first" round) was refused a few days later. My father then appealed against that decision (within 28 days) during Oct 2010 itself. Later, in Nov 2010, my father then applied to ente...

Dear All: Can someone please advise how it takes for the BDHC in Mumbai to return a passport with the visa, once it has been handed in. The passport was handed in with the letter asking for it. The medical is clear. It is quite frustrating that the BDHC don't even give an estimated date of return of...

the bhc may refer you to their designated hospital for an x-ray and clinical examination by a nominated doctor. old scar on a lung should not be an issue, but it does depend on what the doctor(s) say ...
