I applied for a spouse visa back in January, my husband is a British citizen who is my sponsor, unfortunately, we forgot to include his divorce cert and all of the bank statements, so our visa application was rejected. but we were given the chance to appeal
we posted the appeal from the UK on the 11th of January 2016, payment of £140 (oral hearing) was taken on the 1st of February 2016, but since then we have heard nothing, we have spoken to a few individuals at the first tier tribunal and ask how long they think it will take, we get the standard reply of 12-18 months, and they cannot say when they think the appeal bundle will be posted to the British embassy in Delhi.
is anyone experiencing the same? has anyone submitted an appeal around the same time and got anything back? also does the appeal actually go to the BHC in Delhi or does it go to croydon?

How did you get notified of the ECM's decision? or did you get a notification of this at all?
Did you get any letter from the first tribunal when they send your appeal to the BHC? If you got any letter or email of this, how long since your first appeal did it take?

Hi perpergkg,Re: first tier tribunal Leicester

hi all, thanks for the replies. I am not sure what is happening over at Leicester, they take the payment so quickly and then the "bundle" just sits there. they have now had my appeal form for almost 6 working weeks.
I know it can take many months if post\ECM do not overturn the decision, it can even take a time for the ECM to overturn their decision if they are not pushed. 1MBnish, who did you e-mail?
is anyone else on here experiencing the same thing with the First Tier? it is very frustrating that they are quick to take your money, very rude on the phone, do not provide any updates and just expect you suffer. The First Tier cannot even give an indication of "the working queue"
Hi 1MBNish,1MBNish wrote:Hi Perpergkg,
Think they sent your appeal bundle to the POST in Delhi, you can actually check with the POST in Delhi to see if they have received any correspondence from the Tribunal. Use the email above or ask you MP to write to them for any update. If it is Feb 17, then its good news to the sense that ECM might be looking at your appeal as we speak(or may be not as its 3 am in the morning in India).
Well keep posting..
, did your MP get back to you, did he/she explain where would they contact about their case and any timescales?@perpergkg

I sent an email to them in November and they answered me back telling me that they didn't overturned the decision , I have received the notice of hearing in 10 January.
i received the notice of pending appeal in 10 October so nearly one month after they confirmed the payment.

We got an email from UKVi asking to submit my wife's passport. Asking my MP to look into my case has worked the magic. She phoned Home Office on monday 14/03/2016 & today-friday(18/03/2016) we got the email.
The ECM has reviewed my wife's case and decided to overturn the original decision. Although I appealed to the first tribunal office in Leicester(my appeal bundle is still sitting at their office), UKVI decided to overturn the decision on the original documents submitted with the application based on my MP's request.
My advice get your MP involved quickly as possible. UKVI will have to get back to MP within 5 working days.
Good luck to everyone who are waiting.
