May take 6-8 months.UKorUS wrote:I am wondering how long will it take for the appeal decision.
If the review of earlier decision suggests that the decision can be overturned at the local (BHC) level, it may still take 2 months (or more), so don't "bank" on a result within 28 days of appeal.UKorUS wrote:We are banking on the fact that (as per ECG and appeal guidelines on UK BA site) the ECM in Bombay BHC can overturn the decision - timeline 28 days from date of ack- locally).
As you admit you submitted wrong documents why not reapply with the correct ones?UKorUS wrote:My infant daughter's Tier 1 Dependant visa was refused by the Bombay BHC under paragraph 319H of the UK immigration rules.
Reason -
The ECO found the bank statement was more than 1 month old from the date of application. However, they have sent IAFT-2 with full rights of appeal - GV51 (FRA).
Circumstances -
My daughter was born in UK but was travelling to India so we thought of applying from India as my experience so far was that it takes less time to get a visa from India.
My mistake -
The problem was that we didn't submit all the last 3 months bank statement and the one that was submitted was a month's bank statement and more then a month old from date of application.
Action taken -
We have now filed appeal application with Bombay BHC with all the original bank statements preceeding the date of original visa application.
Timelines are like this-
Date of application - 7 Jan 2011
Visa refusal letter - 2nd Feb 2011
Appeal submitted - 7th Feb 2011 Ack letter from Bombay BHC - 9th Feb 2011 I am wondering how long will it take for the appeal decision.
Hope -
We are banking on the fact that (as per ECG and appeal guidelines on UK BA site) the ECM in Bombay BHC can overturn the decision - timeline 28 days from date of ack- locally).
Advice?
Is that a right assumption, does any body have a similar experience, would be great if you can share. Since the fee costs are too high i don't want to reapply again, is it advisable to go for a visitor visa application? This time the experience with VFS and BHC has been nothing less than horrendous - the VFS staff was completely callous in attitude and don't do a complete document check. After that, the BHC itself took around 4 weeks for processing the application. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks VJ
I think, this is very disrespectful towards a country, you are trying to make new home.UKorUS wrote:Very disappointing as its sneaks of unfairness and greed on part of UK BA. Bottomline - the bankrupt country just needs money so don't make any mistake anywhere.
The bottom line is you made a mistake and should not blame othersgotcha wrote:I think, this is very disrespectful towards a country, you are trying to make new home.UKorUS wrote:Very disappointing as its sneaks of unfairness and greed on part of UK BA.

Initially, you accepted that , you have made mistake, and now blaming others for following rule.
Called up Post today at Bombay BHC and got a pleasant surprise. They said that the ECM has overturned the decision so can come to the embassy and submit the passport for stamping. Minimum 2 weeks from here.UKorUS wrote:Called AIT today and they said the appeal bundle has been forwarded by UK post to AIT. This means they have not overturned the decision locally at the Post.
Will reapply now with a fresh application.
