Anyway, I am going to make an appeal but am wondering if anyone has had success without a solicitor or if it is necessary (or highly advisable) to have one? Also, there is an option to not have an oral hearing and I am wondering if anyone knows if one's chances are a lot higher with a hearing, etc.
I am trying to get the ball rolling on this as soon as possible so any knowledgeable advise would be so much appreciated!

I am planning on being in Germany too from the 24th of Dec to 4 Jan... does anyone know if the timing will work or if I will not be allowed to go? How soon is the hearing ussually held? And has anyone been granted appeal without hearing?
Thanks so much!
