as we all are... i can see that there are many people who are waiting for Hearing Date December. I dont know what is going on and why?

There's been a reduction in court time and judges.. hence the late hearing dates. Just our luck eh!
I dont think cases are seen in order from the time you apply. Some people have appealed around the same time as me and have receieved a later deadline. Some people have not had a hearing date given yet and some have. I think it depends on individual cases. From what i have read on this forum quite a few decisions have been overturned too.
Applied : 5th august 2015
Refused: 7th december 2015
Appealed: 28 december 2015
Deadline: 12 may 2016
Overturned: 2nd august
Passport submitted: 11th august
Still waiting...

You do not need a valid TB certificate until your appeal is allowed and you are requested to submit the passport for visa stamp.

Yes it should be done on your side, there are members on the forum who have been waiting 6 weeks after submitting passport, so Allah knows best how long they going to take. You are lucky to have received call letter, my wife's appeal was allowed over 6 weeks ago, we are still waiting for call letter :(

W.salaam, if you read recent posts on the forum from members who have appealed the decision they have been waiting months and months for the decision to be reviewed, and over a year after to get a court hearing, if you can resolve all your refusal reasons it is definitely quicker and easier to reapply, you can now opt for a priority service at the cost of an additional £360, decisions are given in a matter of weeks

I have already posted my reason for refusal on page 58 of this thread, but to save you from going back to it, I have copied and pasted it below:

"My reason for refusal was soo stupid, I am currently and have been employed by 1 company since 2013 and I am earning £22,000 p.a. and I supplied my employment contract, a letter from my employer and 6 months of wage slips & bank statements and the reason they gave for refusal was that I work for 3 different employers and earning less than £18,600!!!
Upon consulting with my lawyer we came to the conclusion that my documents were misplaced with someone else's and they have refused on that basis.
Which is outrageous as we pay so much in fees for them to not mess up like this. I am paying for a stupid mistake that they made."

I thought they should hand your visa stamped passport back to you within 2-4 weeks.
I hope you and all others seperated from their spouses hear your much awaited news very very soon In Sha Allah
