and what is defintion of the appeal notice and review deadline ?
Brother all will be okay I will break it down for you
1. Applicant submits Appeal – within 28 days from the date that you received the decision
2. The Tribunals Service will inform the visa section that an appeal has been received by sending a IAFT-11 (receipt) and IAFT-2 form (showing date of receipt at the Tribunals Service) and any accompanying documents by diplomatic post within 28 days of receipt. They will request the visa section to review the decision and, if upheld, to prepare an Appeal Bundle.
3. On receipt of the Tribunal’s IAFT forms 11 and 2 at the visa section, an Entry Clearance Manager reviews your application.
If s/he overturns the decision to refuse and decides that a visa can be issued, the visa section must inform the applicant and ask him/her to submit his/her passport for issuing of the visa within 10 working days.
If the ECM upholds the decision to refuse, the visa section prepares an Appeal bundle, which must be despatched to the Tribunal as follows:
Within 4 weeks for family visit appeals and non settlement appeals
Within 12 weeks for settlement appeals
4. On receipt of the ECO’s Appeal Bundle, the Tribunal will log your appeal on their systems and schedule a hearing. This can either be an oral hearing, or your appeal will be decided on papers (without an oral hearing). The choice is yours to make and you will have indicated this on your Appeal form. How long does it take for your hearing to be listed? Well, how long is a piece of string? Family visit appeals are usually heard around 28 days from receipt of the ECO’s bundle at the Tribunal. For settlement appeals this is around 56 days. However, some applicants have been waiting much longer.
5. The Immigration Judge will notify the First Tier tribunal of his/her decision within 10 working days from the hearing. They will then arrange for the decision (the “Determination”) to be sent to yourself and the visa section that decided on your visa application. It can take 4 weeks before the Determination reaches the visa section.
6. On receipt of their copy of the determination, the visa section has 8 weeks to process it.
Inshallah it will all work out and you will get your visa for your spouse before you know it
