WHAT DO AL THE OTHER GUYS THINK SHOUDL I ASK THE MP NOW TO GET INVOLVED ?
@Zully! I suggest you can get involved your MP for your immigration matter. It not only speed up your matter but also make your case safe n positive side to some extent. MP recommend you that you are on his/her constituent. Some MP's are really superb, they do their best efforts to justify your case and support you. But some they do less efforts.

Thank for that. This mp is fantastic he help my uncle when his father in law was getting deported and this was over the christmas period. He was'nt successful but he really tried hard.

I think I will go. I will ask my uncle to come with me as they know each other so well.
Thanks for the advise

@haly4mozi

Please jot down important points for your NIkahnama.

1. It is compulsory that Nikahnama must be endorsed from the Union Council. One of the colleaque from this forum, Mr. King2be spouse visa application was rejected because of this soul reason.

2. Additionally, you can attach the NADRA Marriage Certificate.

3.Obviously you have sent a Translated copy of NikahNama as well
After taking Advice; remember Everyone's application, and thus supporting documents, will be different depending on personal circumstances.

Thank you for your email of 12/01/2012 asking for an update on your appeal. We received your Notice of Appeal on 01/12/2011. A review of the refusal decision will be conducted here. If the decision to refuse is upheld, the Notice of Appeal will be forwarded to the Immigration and Asylum First Tier Chamber as soon as possible. If we overturn the decision at review, you will be contacted about the arrangements to resubmit your passport. This process can take up to three months.

so does that mean i have until february to hear if they overturn their decision?...

i really do not want to go court..serously!..

oh btw..im not gna go pakistan now :(..my dads booked the tickets for my mum , sis, and bro..they goin this sunday..:(..propa heartbroken..but wht can i say...life goes on..

Hey XnailaX,

I had applied for my wife settlement visa in sep 11, which was refused on the basis of English test becoz the cert that we attached did not say at which institute the test was taken. However, I lodged the appeal through my Solicitor on 26 October11, and then received 19 weeks review period which was due to expire on 7th March. We did not any thing from PAK embassy as yet. Now AIT has put the case to court hearing which is going to be on 29th this month.

My wife wrote to PAK embassy and received exactly same reply as you did. I think this is their standard response.

Do you guys think it is worth getting my local MP involved or shall I wait for the hearing. Also, is embassy to suppose to write in either case i.e. if they overturn or uphold the decision.

Appreciate your thoughts/opinion.

Looking at the email it looks like along waiting period. I didnt realise that they over turn decisions here, or is that the Ecm here will look at the case
If thats the case why dont you get your mp involved and see if they will over turn it. But you may wait a long time for the decision, some people have had the call letter sent same day......

Depending on your case and the points of refusal then i would say go to the mp as the case is being reviewed in the uk

Hi Zubhair,
It helps to know to see how simple you case is. If it is also. It all depends on the reason for your rejection actually i just read it I really don't know why I missed it.

Did they only put that one condition and also have you got proof as to were the test was taken. I would say that they may take that seriously as the english test is really important to the BHC so they just wanna make sure there's no fraud. If you have the proof then go to your Mp.

What i don't undrstand is that does teh case get looked at here or will it go back to my original applying place eg. Pakistan.
I am so confused with all this appeal and immigration stuff

Hi Zully,

This was the only reason for the refusal, after refusal we got the detailed test report from the institute which mentioned the percentage in all four components i.e Reading, writing, speaking and Listening. Also the name of institute as well. We submitted this test report with the appeal form and we were given 19 weeks review period by AIT. but we have not had any reply from BHC on the review though we have a court hearing date on 29th which was given by AIT.

What do you think about the case now. Is it worth involving the MP in the case. Do I need to take any extra evidence in court hearing to show my wife's competency in English. She has done 4 years BS Honors in Politics and International Relations from International Islamic University which was also taught in English.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you Zully,

just wanted to ask how many of the cases get successful at court hearing. any percentage? Also u are suggesting not to my MP at this stage.

As there was no other objection for the refusal, can judge ask or raise any other concerns at the court hearing? or its going to be a debate only on English test which was the main reason of refusal. Do I need to prepare for any other aspects as well.

Please advise.

Pls do not amend the timeline I will post the timeline once a day so everybody can see where they are.

It's best if one person does the timeline as I have had to correct a few of the times as a few people r changing times.

If anybody else wants to post the timeline pls let me know. Otherwise I will do it everyday.

ok cool.

Add these people to the timeline aswel.

the leaflets abit confusing would appreciate if someone could let me know

good luck everyone with your visas inshallah u will all here soon


yes ofcourse he can but i would suggest you do pass your test but be carefull not to get penalty points as it would affect his ILR.

He should apply as earliest and apply for the test. As early he will get his provisional licence, then he will do the theory test and practical test and his insurance premium will be less in a long run.
After taking Advice; remember Everyone's application, and thus supporting documents, will be different depending on personal circumstances.

Is this type of post really necessary here.This is an Immigration Board not a chat forum. If you want a chat forum use face book or other ways. Don't take up valuable space on this server writing trash like this. To many people are doing it here on this specific forum. Any messages similar to this will be deleted and the member banned. Enough is enough here.Furthermore there are a few members still abusing others here. I am now going to go through them and those already on thin ice will be banned. This is a forum to ask for help and guidance on immigration matters only and nothing else. If you don't have advice to offer then please don't post the usual trash like we see here.Please comply with the rules. If you are not happy then you are free to go somewhere else. :x

Maybe they can help and speed up the case.
I am not sure what objection they had for King maybe he could go too.

Hi Zully
i am the applicant from Pk, i am just waiting for the deadline given to ECM, lets say if its for august i'll get my husband to get in touch with his local MP in July. also four of my company's executives are MP's in PK so i might jus get their help too as recently a case on appeal was expedited on their request in canada embassy.

as for the appeal process this is how it is;

1. ones your appeal is recieved by AIT in Leicester, its processed and payement is cleared can take 4 or more wks for this to happen.

2.Then the appeal is sent back to the original post i.e where the decision was made in my case its ISlamabad. the visa app decision was made by a ECO but the appeal review is done by the Entry Clearence MANAGER at the same post. its like the Prinicipal going over a paper that a teacher originally marked to see if it was done properly. usually ECMs get 19 wks to review the case.

3. if the decision is overturned the ECM notifys AIt and writes to cioncerned parties i,e applicant and representative. if its upheld ECM only writes to AIt. a court date is given to the applicant if AIT hasnt heard from the ECM by the review deadline or the decision has been upheld.

4. the court date is usually after 3 months of the review deadline.

this is how i understand the process.

Thank you for your email of 12/01/2012 asking for an update on your appeal. We received your Notice of Appeal on 01/12/2011. A review of the refusal decision will be conducted here. If the decision to refuse is upheld, the Notice of Appeal will be forwarded to the Immigration and Asylum First Tier Chamber as soon as possible. If we overturn the decision at review, you will be contacted about the arrangements to resubmit your passport. This process can take up to three months.

so does that mean i have until february to hear if they overturn their decision?...

i really do not want to go court..serously!..

oh btw..im not gna go pakistan now :(..my dads booked the tickets for my mum , sis, and bro..they goin this sunday..:(..propa heartbroken..but wht can i say...life goes on..

Hey XnailaX,

I had applied for my wife settlement visa in sep 11, which was refused on the basis of English test becoz the cert that we attached did not say at which institute the test was taken. However, I lodged the appeal through my Solicitor on 26 October11, and then received 19 weeks review period which was due to expire on 7th March. We did not any thing from PAK embassy as yet. Now AIT has put the case to court hearing which is going to be on 29th this month.

My wife wrote to PAK embassy and received exactly same reply as you did. I think this is their standard response.

Do you guys think it is worth getting my local MP involved or shall I wait for the hearing. Also, is embassy to suppose to write in either case i.e. if they overturn or uphold the decision.

Appreciate your thoughts/opinion.
Hi Zubair,

i personally think you should go to the court hearing now and take all the evidence again with just to be on the safe side. take a copy of her degree aswell, International Islamic Uni from ISLBD is internationally recognized as a good uni. i would even print out infor about the uni's credibilty to show the Judge that for some one to do a degree from this uni isnt peanuts. even tho the degree wont help proof her english test requirment but i think its a good support argument. also make sure u take all the english test documenst with u including infor about the college it was done from. just few days to go good luck!
