Hi Harpreet

Couple of questions for you:

1. Are you in still in a work visa (Tier 1 or Tier 2) or a PR?
2. Which application form have you used for the application?

Thanks

hi,

I just contacted UKVI for an update... and they were asking me for a ref number starting with GWF....
does any one know where i can find this number..?/

The only ref number I have is on the recipt I got from VFS, which is COAC/******/........

This is the ref's number from UK4Visa website, when you applied online

hi all,

still waiting for call letter... does anyone now how long this can take.

Hi my appeal was allowed Alhumdulillah on 29th May
Im also waiting for the call letter
I was told it can take upto 12 weeks
Its been 5 weeks

You should phone the home office in a few weeks and ask them if they have posted the judges decision to india embassy then you can push india embassy to send the call letter

good luck

[chohans]

Hi i called home office today and thy told me they got the judges letter and the case is still not finished its with a case worker. Paper work is not completed yet and they dont know how long it will take

Did you call?

Hi Yazzy,

I called The tribunal court on 0300 1231711 they advised me to contact the Presenting Office unit hatton cross as it was nothing to do with them anymore, so I called 020 8917 2039 spoke to a lovely lady who said they are waiting on another department to let them know whether they should forward the allowed appeal to BHC in New Delhi. She said she will email them today and give her a call on Tuesday.
Once she gets the confirmation email she will forward judges decision to BHC, she also said she does not think that they have appealed as she would have got the email by now.
Hope this helps
