Hi rehana.
congratulations on the review being overturned...i also had a deadline of 31/01/12 but apparently the ECO didnt bother reviewing our case again so therefore the deadline passed, thats why now i think i have to attend court...but i just wanted to ask that on what date did you get that email? because maybe theres still hope for me and if you dont mind me asking then on what basis was the visa refused? and did you also get an hearing letter like me after the deadline?
thanks for your valuable information

Hi
Dont give up just yet, the hearing letter I received was dated 3rd February and I received it a few days ago and today we received the email and also notice of withdrawal from the AIT. I know your deadline has elapsed but due to the backlog, I am sure that your application is still awaiting processing. Have you tried emailing them for updates??
The two reasons for refusal were third party support from my parents ( we intend on living with my parents until my husband is given more details of his internship- which they didn't like) and also our exemption rom the English Language requirement wasn't accepted.
I was in Pakistan when we received the refusal so decided to wait till I got back to the UK to lodge the appeal. I had 1 day to prepare this!! We addressed the points by drafting a letter from my parents which stated they would offer us accomodation on a temporary basis and submitted some paperwork related to a property that I was in the process of purchasing but fell thru at the last minute to show them that I was serious about moving out. I also provided bank statements and wage slips to show I had the necessary funds. As for the language requirement, we submited the degree, all academic transcripts and also the IELTS certificate. I also included a letter of support from my local MP. Hope this helps

OMG OMG OMG!
Congratulations my sis! Alhumdhulila Allah swt has answered our prayers. I sincerely made dua for you sis and I am sooo happy to hear the good news :D :D Mubarakah sis! The wait has been worth it in the end, you have been rewarded for your patience, well done sis you are an inspiration for all of us! Hugs xxxx

When submitting the passport after receiving the call in letter, did anyone submit a provisional ticket reservation with the intended date of travel ?

Apparently that speeds things up.

My hubby only put a date of intended travel no travel ticket reservations etc. Despite putting intended date of travel passport was processed when it suited them. May be the travel ticket reservation may have helped I am not sure as we did not go for that method.

Best of luck.
