I am not sure about the British High Commissions you mentioned but at Chennai it took less than a week each time we submitted the application, although they did refuse both.
I am currently appealing decisions.
Please make sure you have everything covered in your evidence folder.
Best of luck

Thanks loozit,

I hope I am not being too inquisitive, but why were your applications refused and on what grounds? did you not provide enough evidence etc?

The applications were fine, put together by lawyers.
My husband had previously overtstayed a student visa and this is all they talk about.
They accuse him of using marriage to enter uk even though i am 7 months pregnant and had supporting letters froim several witnesses including the reverend at my church.
So, why was it refused? because the UK government values the opinion of a bigotted dearly beloved over that of a man who works for the church of england or over the life of me and my child who with the amount of stress i am under im surprised is still here.
AIT dont think the fact that im 7 months pregnant and mum has terminal cancer a good enough reason to bring the appeal forward.
Just the same as the British High Commission dont see it as a good enough reason for me to not go to india and live. Although on their travel advice section it does say i shouldnt travel their as is a danger to mysefl and unborn child. :roll:

Rant over
