But guess you are right that in UK the appeal I gets generated and then u can track it as well as one can expect a definitive date. wish u all the best and I hope you as well as all of us in the same boat hear something positive from embassy soon

Thats way I send to Embassy.Now crying.

You said in a previous post that you got an email. How long did it take for that? Also normally they send a hard copy letter .. isn't it - to the appealant and the representative/sponsor. I really doubt if these embassy guys really do have a common way of working or it is practically on their whim

Hi My appeal has been forwarded to the ECO (North INDIA) from AIT UK
who refused the case and he has 19 weeks to review our application or return it to the Tribunal.

Its a paper appeal settlement visa

Does any on know the who has gone through the same procedure and timelines surly 19 weeks is long time for decision.

Just update on my case.Today I received a letter from Tribunal asking me to submit any further documents till 8th April 2011.

I lodged my paper appeal with Embassy so this means they have forward me case to AIT refused to review decision and grant me visa.

The letter is called IA35 so this means anybody who submitted paper appeal would received this letter to submit bundle.

19 weeks!!! that seems to be a hell lot of time just to review the decision.. normally I heard they say 30-45 working days in local BHC. Moderators kindly confirm from past experiences.

Hi Shahzad.. my best wishes with you mate. Hopefully somethign good wil happen soon. Btw which embassy did you forward to? Seemed even they took a lot of time to simply forward it to AIT...
Also if you dont mind what did they say was the ground of rejection?
fingers crossed in my case

Embassy is Abu Dhabi.Rejection was on maintenance and accommodation ect.

I am thinking of a oral hearing and planning to consult a solicitor.

Hi Shahzad
Simular situatuion to yours
Was yours a paper appeal? Ive done appeal on papers and the AIT have sent it to india for the ECO to review. This would mean he overturns it or sends it back to AIT for it to progress.

@jattboi - is your case a tier 1 application or a dependent application? also if you dont mind what is the ground of refusal?
19 weeks is scary and trying to understand if it is anything related to visa category... based on different refusal posts

Hello people, i was applying for a settlement visa in order to live with my husband in the uk. My visa was refused because we didn't send pictures, emails, evidence of our relationship. We didn't because we sent all our legal and certificate documents and we though was silly to send pictures.
however, i have the right to appeal, i was reading this forum and i did not understand why is better to send it by post than to AIT?
what is AIT? is not better to do it online?
Thanks so much dear people.

@marialopez,

i believe the rules have changed now... u can appeal online... which is faster n thn collect all supporting docs covering refusal points with payment proof and send by post to AIT...
now u have to send all appeals to AIT n not the post where u applied...

mods, correct me if im wrong...

Hi,

My Wife has got the Refusal of entry clearance to UK.
Category : Family Visitor Visa
Reason : They have not got satisfactory reply from her employer at validation call as per the document produced. Here fault is on her Employer side, they have not replied properly as per the Leave application approved by them, which leads to doubt.
Location : Bangalore
Applied on: 04 May 2012
Refusal on :21 May 2012
Received in Hand :25 May 2012

Can anyone advise what should I do now?
1. Appeal, If Yes.. then how ? Any idea about new procedure and documents required? or
2. Re-apply. How much time and money again need to spent ?

I will be in UK till August end, so please suggest accordingly that what should be the best approach ?

Thanks in Advance
Amit

if you are only here until August there is no point in appealing as the appeal will almost certaintly not be heard until after you have left. You will need to reapply, and will have to pay the fee again.

Thanks for the reply.

Any Idea about
1. New Appeal procedure.
2. Aprox Time duration.
3. Fees.

Post by **Greenie** » Sat May 26, 2012 2:33 pm

You are not appealing you are applying again. The procedure and cost will be the same as before. Processing times likely to be roughly the same.

Sorry,

I want to know about Appeal Procedure > Duration > Fees

Post by **Greenie** » Sat May 26, 2012 2:43 pm

The appeal procedure takes at least 6 months so if you are leaving I
august i am not sure why you would appeal?
