Visit Visa Refusal Overturned after PAP, Now Confused about Next Steps!

[Maranraj17]

Thank you for sharing. Your timeline was very quick. well done! My friend did PAP (Didn't receive any response yet) and also wrote another email to complaints team mentioning the mistakes that case worker has made on the refusal letter. After the email to complaints teams, case worker had corrected the mistakes and resent a another refusal letter with a changing in some wordings. So my friend is super confused now if she need to do another PAP on the new refusal letter or just wait for the response on the first PAP itself so she can then also use this corrected refusal letter as a defense to show how they are made and corrected mistakes. I could share her both refusal letters here if anyone could be kind enough to give to their valuable advice

Congratulations to your friend on submitting their PAP! I know how nerve-wracking the process can be, so I'm happy to share my timeline as a reference:

• PAP request submitted: December 4, 2023

• Response to PAP received: December 14, 2023 (10 days)

• UKVI email overturning decision & requesting passport: December 21, 2023 (7 days)

• Passport submitted to VFS (VAC): December 24, 2023 (3 days)

• Passport returned with visa: December 31, 2023 (7 days)

Please could you share the refusal letter and have you got any response in related to PAP, in laws visitor visa got rejected second time despite of submitting all documents ?

I recently submitted a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter challenging the Home Office's refusal of my visit visa application. Today, I received their response, and while it wasn't a full approval, it contained some promising information.

Here's the relevant part of the letter:

"The Secretary of State has reviewed the decision and will now proceed to reconsider the matter in the light of the evidence and representations you have made. The team aims to complete the reconsideration of this matter by the 14 March 2024, absent special circumstances."
My question is, does this mean my case is actually being re-evaluated, or is this just a standard procedure for responding to PAPs? I'm cautiously optimistic, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high.

Some additional details:
* My case involved concerns about the ECO's consideration of my sponsorship and income evidence.
* I provided additional documents with my PAP letter to address these concerns.
* The Home Office hasn't mentioned anything about their decision on the initial refusal yet.
I'd really appreciate any insights you can offer on what this response might signify and what my next steps should be.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Would you kindly provide a copy of your PAP letter (without your sensitive info)?
I have had a look on the form on the gov website but seems unclear in various aspects.
Thanks
