Check do you have any date stamp when you received your documents.ssetho wrote:My wife just got her UK settlement visa application refused and the date of refusal stated on the ECO's decision letter is 17 August 2010. As the UK embassy has to send back all the documents to the Visa Application Center, my wife could only pick up the documents from the center on the 27 August 2010.
I understand according to the IAF2 Form, the 28 days start to count down from the date she receives the ECO's decision letter which, in this case is 27 August 2010. However, I found out some immigration consultants' websites are saying the count down begins from the date of refusal on ECO's decision letter which, in this case is 17 August 2010. Now, I am totally confused as to which date I should follow.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Check do you have any date stamp when you received your documents.The deadline for an appeal is 28 calendar days from when you are served the notice of the decision of the Entry Clearance Officer.
Your appeal must be received at the Visa Section or by the Tribunal by the end of this period. You must decide to which office you want to submit your appeal. Please do not send appeals to both offices.
For example if you were served the notice of decision on 1st April, the office you decide to submit your appeal to must receive it by 29th April.
Frist post appeal form(you can fax as well) then latter focus on bundle.ssetho wrote:I can't find a date stamp on the letter except the date stated for the date of refusal. She didn't even have to sign and date for the ECO's decision letter at the Visa Application Center.
OK. We will post the Appeal Form off asap. Basically, we got only 14 days to do it now.
Many thanks for your advice Ali.
Yes, I did engaged professional help and the appeal was successful so, it was money well spent. In fact, my wife got her visa 3 weeks after her appeal was submitted. Hope it helps. Good luck.Mk2010 wrote:Hi ssetho,
I am in similar situation here.
May I know have you use any professional help to submit the appeal?
It is quite common not to receive acknowledgement from IAT or the BHC post where you applied. It may be worthwhile contacting them to confirm they have received your appeal. If they have , then it is takes on average around 6 months for the appeal to be heard. You will only get something in writing when IAT have fixed a date for your hearing/nana555 wrote:hello i m from morocco i got my refusal decision in 6/1/2012 i faxed my appeal in 26/1/2012 till now i did not receive any answer can any one plz tell me how much time take to get an answer and how to submit my appeal
