Question: Free review or paid appeal?

Post by lucky123 » Wed Mar 16, 2005 11:43 pm

I would like to hear members opinion. Should one go for free review or pay. Why i ask this is that it may seem like they do not look at the free reviews at all since they are free and only consider paid ones. So has any one got reviewed free and got HSMP or its better to go for new application all together even if it costs money! We are trying to get to a captalist country you know.

Capitalism has nothing to do with this - and it is the reason we want to live in this country.

My review request was reviewed and granted - I didn't pay any review fees, in fact there were no review fees back in spring 2004 when I applied.

Obviously hiring a qualified immigration advisor may be helpful.

The problem with Free reviews is that you cannot submit any additional evidence. so all the the 'reviewer has to do is to look at the supporting evidence submit earlier and then verify that his colleague was fair in denying you the points. i think the only time you can be successful in a free review is when the caseworker made a genuine mistake e.g calculating your earnings in the wrong band, or miscalculating the numbers of years for your experience.
