hi, Could you please share your case history

[Hasnainrana]

Basically my wife's visa got refused. Then I appeal that refusal in December 2018. The refusal was a mistake by home office as they haven't recieved our documents requested but we have sent requested document through email under the timescale. In appeal we have attached the same email copy and mentioned that we have sent same email before which home office never received.
on 14th March 2019 we recieved email by home office (ICQAT) that refusal of appeal has been withdrawal and we should wait for next step. Bit worried what could be that. Anyone please help.

[Hasnainrana]

I am writing to inform you that I have reviewed the decision made on 06/12/2018 to refuse
your application.
The original refusal decision has been withdrawn and a recommendation made to the
Decision Making Centre where your original application was decided to grant entry
clearance.
The reasons for the withdrawal are:

It will only be under rare circumstances that this withdrawal will not result in the grant of
entry clearance. Such circumstances would be those that, even in the event of an allowed
appeal, would cause the Secretary of State not to grant entry clearance. It is therefore
submitted that there is no good reason not to permit the withdrawal. Pursuant to Tribunal
Procedure Rule 17(2), the respondent respectfully requests that this appeal be
withdrawn.
The Decision Making Centre will contact you in due course with further information about
any next steps you need to take.
This letter is being copied to the Tribunal.
Yours sincerely,
ML

Hi

At HO,one can understand that reversal of any decision is a long process, there will be numerous checks which is taking it long to send you final entry clearance. I have read so many people waiting for Visas after their decision was overturned by court.

You must call them or email them and if possible involve MP from UK to help you in this case.

But you must keep a tab on this. All the best

Thanks

Also wanted to know when this appeal withdrawn.. Pls share your timelines to understand better. Thnx

[Hasnainrana]

I have emailed then and made phone calls so many times and been told so many times that it takes 8 weeks or some times less. My appeal was withdrawan on 14 March and it's 5 weeks now. I haven't heard anything. Could anyone inform me how long to wait. Or shall I involve MP at this stage. Will my wife get visa?

[Sumit_sam]

If they have already advised you 8 weeks.

Then 3 weeks are still there for you to wait patiently.
It will be much wiser to give time to HO...they deserve.....before sending any panic mail through M.P. Nevertheless, now decision will be in your favour and you got a assurance that you will get Entry Clearance...

There are people like me and others in this forum who are waiting, waiting and waiting and are undergoing so much stress and pain daily.

All the best.

Thanks

[Hasnainrana]

Thanks a lot submit for your kind reply. But the whole process including submitting application, refusal and appeal. Now appeal withdrawn that took nearly 1.5 years and my wife waiting for me back home. Could you please tell me do I need to worry about or she easily get visa?

Hi

One can understand your position... It requires lot of funding and mental strength to fight against H.O decision...feel sorry for what you have gone through over these months. But these things happens in life.... but you have come out as a clear winner from such things.
We can only pray and we should pray for these things not get repeated in someone others life.

Yes... At least for balance 3 week you should wait patiently... You will get your visa.. I pray.
All the best

Thanks

[Hasnainrana]

Thank you sumit... You really make my day by praying and I am hoping you will get urs soon

Hi
I have been hearing from other people that HO may refuse aswell on some other grounds. How it's possible if they withdraw appeal on the first place and then howcome they can look for some other reason? Please anyone let me know because that's first time I heard from some one.

The decision to refuse your visa application has been overturned and our office will now proceed to the next stage of your application. To complete this process we require you to undertake the following steps: Pay your I.H.S and submit your passport to the visa application centre.

1. Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) payment needed

On 6 April 2015, the UK Government introduced a Health Surcharge payment requirement for non-EEA nationals who apply to come to the UK to work, study or join family for a period of more than 6 months.

Shortly, you will receive a further email providing a link for your IHS payment. If you do not receive an email within 7 working days of this email, please contact Sheffield.PostDecisionIHS@fco.gov.uk with your name, GWF reference and request the IHS payment email be sent.

2. Once you have received the IHS email and made your IHS payment, please take your passport along with a copy of this e mail to the visa application centre where you initially made your application.

** see below for exceptions to this.

** (For applicants who applied in the United States of America only) It will depend on where you made your application:

If you applied at a Premium Application centre (PAC) you will need to courier your passport to the PAC where you made your application.

If you applied through a Department of Homeland Security Application Support Centre (ASC) you will need to courier your passport to:
VFS Global
80 Broad
6th Floor
New York, NY 10004

In either case you will need to provide a prepaid courier envelope and an account number so that your passport can be returned to you.

3. If you require a TB certificate for travel, please ensure you have a valid certificate and take it with your carry-on luggage, in order for you to present to the Immigration authorities on arrival.

To prevent any further delays with processing your application, once you have made this IHS payment and submitted your passport please send an e-mail to Sheffield.PostDecisionIHS@fco.gov.uk containing your name, GWF reference, the amount that you have paid for IHS and when you submitted your passport.

Email is self explanatory and if you wish then can Google translate the whole email into your local language. But all you need to do is to follow this email without delay.

[Hasnainrana]

[seagul]

[Hasnainrana]
