thanks for reply my cousin work as immigration adviser and he said i have to wait for 2 month to get court date when we have court date then just before 10 day we have to submitt all evidence,im not sure about it hes dont and then told me im just lost dont know how it work do you have any idea that information he gave me is that correct.
please help
No I am afraid he is wrong....I am starting thinking this yours cousin has little idea about appeal process.
Ok I made easy for you...

You would submit appeal either to First Tribunal Direct or either at Croydon...After submitting yours appeal within 28 days of refusal you would get acknowledged letter from court that they have received yours appeal papers..

It can take 3 to 6 weeks to get a simply acknowledge letter from court..Home office would be given time to review yours case...It can take 3 or 4 months for ECO to review yours case..if they review and decided to withdraw their decision then you would get a letter from Embassy called Call Letter to submit yours passports..If not then a court date would be given...This can takes from 7 to 9 months for the court hearing...

As you have only one reason so I pray yours decision would be reviewed...Make a very good grounds of appeal to prove this is a geniue marriage..Add lots of wedding photos, ecards,emails,any letters,letter from father and mother that this is a genliue marriage,letter from relatives who attended this wedding,yous skypee accounts..

This is very easy appeal and I am 100% sure you woudl easily win..

I know this is a dirty process thats sucks...this tests yours waiting skills..

Be patience and must submit yours appeal in time..Submitted appeal is a simple process..filled appeal form and describe yours case and focus mainly on refusal ground with evidence..and submit it...you would be given time to submit further evidence in later stage...

Thank u very much for reply.
would you able to tell me please that if he lodged it at croydon without supporting documment and trying to get court date without reviewing by eco he make me confused on UKBA it say clearly that you have to submit supporting docummnet along with appeal letter.
im really stress NOw becase if he lodg it icant send further evidence and appeal to tribunal i will spoke to him and seek more information that does he know what is he doing.
AT this point what do you think what should i do.
PLEASE REPLY THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi

Thank u very much for reply.
would you able to tell me please that if he lodged it at croydon without supporting documment and trying to get court date without reviewing by eco he make me confused on UKBA it say clearly that you have to submit supporting docummnet along with appeal letter.

As I said earlier simply focus on refusal grounds and submit all evidence with appeal form relating to it i.e marriage is geniue.

Noboy on earth can get court date without first reviewed by ECO as this is a standard process.Court would give ECO times to review decision first and if they failed to review then would give time to submit bundle i.e documents on which they rely their decision.

Other method is submit an INDEX and supply all documents included with yours application with appeal form.

Main thing is right a very good grounds of refusals to submit with appeal form.Remember there is a case law relating to this and you can submit post evidence(new evidence ) for this ground.

At this stage focus on refusal grounds and submit all evidence relating to it.Later you must be given chance to submit further evidence and witness statement.

Code: Select all

im really stress  NOw because if he lodg it  icant send further evidence and appeal to  tribunal i will spoke to him and seek more information that does he know what is he doing.

Wrong you would be send a further letter to submit witness statement and bundle(whole documents) for yours appeal.So yours concern is baseless.

Shadow86 - All the best for tomorrow. Inshallah you will get good news.

When did your status change to "Processed application returned to AC"? I checked the spreadsheet but could not find that info.

Shadow86 · Post by **Shadow86** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 7:48 pm

rajaj333, no idea what you are saying but if you insist on keep on checking everyday then up to you. Do NOT worry if it doesn't say under process! Look at my case dude, I didn't sweat one bit when mine wasn't under process and look what happened, straight to AC status. My point is do NOT pay attention to the tracking status, let ur appeal run its course. You have submitted passports, now let them do their job yaar.

Ejaz12, Mumbai!????? I know Croydon and Loughborough, where on earth did Mumbai come from? Is ur case related to India visa?

Exquisit33, may Allah grant her a quick recovery and great health, ameen. Sorry to hear about the news.

adamkhanuk, If you look at the Appeals tab, it's right there

it says July 17, 2011.

akaamir, what kind of immigration advisor is ur cousin? That info he gave u is incorrect. Dunno if u can submit further evidence now but u really were supposed to give further evidence, and write up your grounds of appeal. It is in the grounds of appeal that you can give your response to the ECO about their refusal and if ur cousin has left that blank then ECO will very likely uphold their decision. Handling immigration related matters like applying for spouse visa requires that you make use of your own intellect when u have a dodgy solicitor or immigration advisor. I have taken advice from our Solicitor in Pak but I also use my own intellect. I wrote up grounds of appeal myself and my solicitor inserted most of it in the grounds of appeal which he had made.

shadow86 Thank you and good luck again for tomorrow

akaamir I'm really corncerned about the advice your cousin has given you. the whole point of an appeal is that you set out your grounds for appealing the refusal of entry clearance ie. you give your reasons. these need to be facts and to hold substance need to be supported by documentary evidence. these are sent to the eco who sometimes will overturn the refusal, send you a callin letter and ask for passport and photos to be submitted so you can get the visa stamped.

By not giving your grounds for appeal you are wasting this opportunity to have the decision overturned and are indicating that you want to go down the long winded route:

Before the hearing yes you do get an opportunity to submit further evidence but this is normally to support the facts and your grounds for appeal. If successful, the judge then needs to communicate the decision with you and the ECO. This takes time. Then you have to wait for call in letter etc etc. All this takes a couple of months at times.

so in summary best to provide as much evidence/documents/facts to support your grounds for refusal so that eco can overturn or provide none of this, wait for a hearing (months) and even if successful months before documents are communicated.

Yes good advice.How he left grounds of appeal blank.

How this would help ECO to review yours decision.

Remember consultant in Pakistan know little about UK immigrations.

There are good in one thing.To get a big fee for nothing.

If I am in yours place I can do myself this appeal which has just one objection.

Then i'm afraid the advice here will not be of help to you. This thread itself is for those who are applying for Spouse Visa in Pakistan to enter UK.

India's immigration policies and procedures are different. I have no clue whatsoever what they are, Sorry.

Inshallah dilse, it'll be ready status for you

I think Gerry's website looked better before.
