Well initially after we heard that the application to visit had been rejected, we decided F' IT! - I mean, if they cant trust a 40 year old women to travel to the UK for 6 weeks during the summer holidays with her 2 kids, why the hell should we appeal. She decided that if the UK didnt want her, then she didnt want to come here!frances2 wrote:Hi
On what grounds have you been given to appeal? I'm currently waiting to hear regards an appeal for a visitors visa, I had to appeal under the Human Rights Act.
Also, when did you submit your appeal? Just to give me an idea of when mine might be heard.
Great advice We've got school letters, and will get them and all documents to the court before the hearing. In fact they were all sent with the origianl application - but I am convinced no one bothered to open the damn file!VictoriaS wrote:Send evidence that the kids are in school, and any letters from family members indicating that she will return, and try to get these to the court in advance of the hearing.
Call the Judge 'Sir'.
These issues often go on whether the witness and sponsors seem honest to the Judge.

Good for you. I think the that people should complain/not accept this automatic assumption by ECO's that people want to decieve.gollywood wrote:Well initially after we heard that the application to visit had been rejected, we decided F' IT! - I mean, if they cant trust a 40 year old women to travel to the UK for 6 weeks during the summer holidays with her 2 kids, why the hell should we appeal.

But I was angry that they doubted our character - so I sent them a 4 page letter with my Appeal application form.
Appeal was submitted in May 2006, and it took 9 months to get a reply from them.
Thanks for your adviceOFCHARITY wrote:Address the bank statement issue the same way you have done here and provide any proof you can. Can you get recent statements showing the money still sitting in her account?
Will you be arguing that the financial matters of your relatives are none of the home office business?gollywood wrote:I'll also tell them that its my sister in law and her husbands account, and just like any UK citizen, we wouldnt expect any other outside family members to pry too deep in OUR financial matters.
No - of course not.

That's fair enough. As long as you can explain the problematic big deposit.gollywood wrote: No - of course not. I appreciate the info they require
Just saying that here are the facts - this is what I can tell you about my relatives financial circumstances, but if they want us to break it down to the 'nth' degree - then quite honestly, we simply dont have that detail where we can account for EVERY single transaction made over a 6 month period.

Quite nervous about this as hearing is next week.
How long do hearings last (Visitor Visa hearings)?
Whats the format? They ask - you speak and so on, or they say their bit and then they give me time to go through our 'case'?
Crappin it actually!
Gosh!You must have loads of free time on your hands to be doing the rounds of the AIT just to get a 'feel of it'gollywood wrote:Went to one of the AIT courts today to get a feel for it.
Not as intimidating as I thought.
Sat in on 2 cases.
In one, the guy trying to bring his wife & child over was amazingly under-prepared. Judge also had a few harsh words for the HO rep, who hadnt submitted a file.
Judge said he would have awarded the sponsor costs if it was in his power!!! Adjourned for 2 weeks.
Next case was a visitor visa appeal.
HO rep was so arrogant - again failed to submit a file, and requested an adjournment. Judge told her where to to stick her request, and said he would report back to the sponsor with his decision in 10 days.
