Decisions can be overturned by a reconsideration/review of the case, the appeal would then lapse. If you sent in additional evidence and requested a reconsideration this can be done. However, if you have not received notice then the appeal will follow the tribunal immigration appeal regulations.

My wife's visa application was refused from Ghana a couple of years ago. We successfully appealed it at the AIT.

Have you tried emailing Accra.Visa.Corr@fco.gov.uk and addressing it to the ECM? It probably won't help much, but you never know.

She was refused because of non submission of UK NARIC letter with her Uni degree certificate,as a refused spouse visa,we appealed the decision and the 19 weeks for review ends on the 4 th of June,I want to know if its possible to have the decision overturn at review in Ghana,or what I have heared all cases appealed in Ghana doesn't get overturn at review but are always sent to the AIT for consideration.I have read on this forum where a lot of similar cases got overturned at ECM review stage but theses were from other embassies and not Ghana..

@Dazzle
Thank you very much for the reply and help.I was hoping and believing the case get resolved at review and doesn't get to go to court,my wife was refused because she didn't add UK NARIC letter to her Uni degree certificate we were told to send our appeal to AIT,we did so and the tribunal contacted us that they have now sent our appeal bundle to Ghana for ECM to review and if we meet immigration rule the decision May be overturned and visa issued but if otherwise the bundle is now sent back again to AIT for hearing and consideration, our deadline for review is on 4th of June and we have not heared from them yet.I have been mailing them but have never gotten a reply from them ever..in Nigeria iv seen and read from their forum their Embassy gets refusal decision overturn but I have not seen any cases from Ghana get overturn during ECM review.I would be glad to hear from more individuals who ever appealed in Ghana and got decision overturned at reviews...cheers mates..

Did you send the NARIC letter and ask for a reconsideration?

We were given full right to appeal so we did and introduced the NARIC letter as an additional evidence as we had omitted it in our original application..the tribunal gave the Ghana embassy to review the UK NARIC letter n my wifes Uni degree certificate and if they satisfied we now meet the English requirement they overturn the refusal decision..

If this is the only reason for refusal, I think the ECM should use his discretion to give your wife visa, my situation is even worse than yours, and during ECM review, he did gave my wife visa, because we submitted her notification of degree result which was refused, my wife had to take the EILTS exams after the spouse visa application was refused and I wrote in the appeal letter that her result was not available when her application was submitted. I wrote in the appeal letter that her result will be forwarded to ECM after 2 weeks. To my surprise, my wife received a call from BHC to come and submit her EILTS exam result which was accepted. After 10 weeks, she was called again to come and submit her passport and visa was granted, this is at BHC Ghana, just pray that God will touch ECM heart and rescind ECO decision and grant your wife visa, from your case here, you will be fine after submitting the NAIRC confirmation of her degree, this will not be counted as additional evidence, but further evidence. Good luck.
