Hi,
I am a 35 yr old British Citizen.
I had applied ILR for my 64 yr old widowed mum as my dependant.
Without going into too much detail, I was aware that at 64 we would need to prove compelling compassionate circumstances. I was convinced that our circumstances were compellingly compassionate & we had very good evidence to prove that aswell.
Anyway, after about 10 months of original application, we received notice of refusal. We appealed. I then engaged a solicitor who was reasonably confident but said that there were no guarantees in immigration.
Our appeal was heard 2 weeks ago. The HO did not send any representation at the appeal hearing !!!!!!
We received the determination yesterday which has upheld the appeal & granted her ILR.
Now my question is - should we read anything into this ? If the HO does not send any representation at the hearing, does it mean that they will not re-appeal against the decision & even if they do, can our solicitor/barrister argue that they should have sent a representative the first time around ?
Thanks in advance,
Deepak.
