Hi,
I hope you are well.
I believe you have already heard good news since you submitted passport.
Thank you so much for your reply with the valuable information. You have been so helpful to everyone. And thank you for advising me to be prepared with some key points. I will surely keep an eye on it and try present myself at the very best of my level.
I am not receiving much from my solicitor apart from "you should be alright." And we have not been provided the respondent bundle yet. Everything is seeming very tough for me now. I can only hope for the best.
Did the Judge ask you and your husband separately to provide evidence please ?
How would you rate the video link hearing? Could you hear it clearly from all sides? how does this all procedures start please?
Sorry for being so complicated. I would be so grateful if you could provide few steps about the court hearing procedures.
Thank you again so much.
You haven’t received the respondent bundle? That can be quite frustrating. We received ours couple of months before the hearing even though it didn’t change much, it helped to know they are still focusing on the same points.
Two of our points were withdrawn as the hearing started. The main point left was that my husband left the UK for Ireland in 2014 but home office disputed this.
We were in Pakistan for the hearing and although my signal was fine, my husbands kept disconnecting. The judge and HO representative were patient and allowed him to continue by phone and the rest of us through video.
It started by the judge introducing everyone and explaining how the hearing would proceed.
I am the spouse and so my speaking part was very little as we met all other requirements of the visa. I spoke at the end to confirm my statement and answer one question which my solicitor asked me. That was all. This was during the same hearing.
Where are you currently living? Will your solicitor be instructing a barrister or will you be doing that yourself?
