Hi KT,
Sorry for the dealy in my response. Was too busy with packing and stuff.
OK, here is what I believe. Though there is no ultimate word for it as nothing is mentioned anywhere official.
To begin with, we can make an appeal even if the 28 day limit has been crossed. This I got to know from the Home Office itself. So you can rest assured about it. My application was rejected on Septmber 29 and and I made my appeal on November 2, yet they accepted it. So it is OK.
As for the time they will take to process the application for the second time, well I guess that could be subjective, but what I know for sure is that, even if you re-apply, you do not go back in the queue. In all probablilities, your Reference no. will remain the same too.
Once again, let me re-iterate, the only difference between a paid appeal and re-apply is that, the 12 months period under considertaion changes. Otherwise, the entire process is the same as what you would have done while sending your application for the first time.
Hope this helps. If you need further clarifications, do let me know. I am also reachable on Yahoo Messenger if you need a more real-time interaction.
