Hi Gollywood,gollywood wrote:AIT court is only located 15 mins away from me:)thirdwave wrote: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.

If I say so myself, I anhilated the Home Office rep.
We walked into the courtroom together - she made the mistake of letting on that she hadnt read the case or my files!
So whilst we waited for the judge, I kept her talking for at least 5 mins - no chance I was going to let her catch up on the case!!!!
The judge asked her questions - she stumbled like a drunk! I couldnt help but laugh on 2 ocassions.
In desperation, the judge turned to me to bail her out!!!
And it continued like that for the next 30 mins.
Basically, she became the judge's 'punchbag' - whereas I would then jump in and refer judge to 'File x - Section y'.... it was silky smooth! I have never been so organised in my life.
The man-hours and sleep deprivation was worth it.
(Apologies if I appeear to be gloating!!!)
The she referred to inconsistencies in the bank statements - but she was referring the wrong bank statements!!!
I sensed this was my chance to go for the kill - and I waded in with some 'knock-out' blows.
Judge said "Appeal is succesful'!!!
He commented on my presentation of files. HAd a go at the home office rep. She blamed the ECO!
I said 'if the ECO had actually read the original files, you might have saved yourself from this experience'.
What a great day!!!
Thanks to all for your wise words - and assistance!
Well it wasnt my fault that the HO rep was a bufoon - when I sat in on 2 cases last week, the HO rep was just as bad.johnboy096 wrote:

So basically could she win the case as she's very eloquent and has a very macchievelian manner?
Thanks in advance!
That's my point exactly - I like that last paragraph Gollywood!gollywood wrote: I appreciate that if your case is very weak and based on deceit, then the above wont apply - but if you know that you have been treated harshly, you will succeed.
