Looks like they processed a fair few settlement visas this week so fill getting the fingers out! Good luck for those still waiting and those stuck in the appeal process.

How long are you expecting to wait for a decision from ECM?
i would probably say that i recall ur application bieng refused due to the english requirement i think, if thats the case i would say yes all you have to do is submit the application. my application is on the complex side well it has been made to by the bhc so i expect to wait the whole 5 months purely because of an eco who could not read and dealt with my application with great neglect.Harpreet91 wrote:@skaur
I appealed this week and I am being advised by my solictor as my case is very straight forward I can expect to hear back in 2-3 weeks.
I agree, as I am positive my refusal will be overturned in the review stage.
What are your thoughts?
i honestly doubt it as because my case is a bit more complx but its the whole having to wait again.Harpreet91 wrote:@skaur
Hopefully yours doesn't take that long.
Appeals lodged to India have a good chance of being overturned before court, because your embassies are less busy, but it will still take 3/4 months at least before you hear anything.Harpreet91 wrote:@skaur

Complexity is nothing to do with it, some simple cases go to court, some complex cases get overturned before court.sKAUR wrote:i honestly doubt it as because my case is a bit more complx but its the whole having to wait again.Harpreet91 wrote:@skaur

tking2be98 wrote:Here is the process:
You get your application back with the Notice of Decision.
You decide whether you want to appeal or not.
You decide you want to appeal.
You have 28 days to submit it to the IAT from the date you received your Notice of Decision.
After submitting your appeal, it will take 4/5 weeks to process.
The day it is processed is the day the documents and grounds for appeal are sent to the ECM and a copy of that to the appellant.
The ECM is given 19 weeks to reply.
He can either overturn in this 19 weeks, he can uphold and take you to court, or he can do the common thing and not reply at all.
If overturned in the 19 weeks or soon after, excellent, you'll get a letter and be called into the Application Centre you submitted originally. About a month later you get your VISA, it used to be a week, not anymore.
If they decide to take you to court or they don't reply, then you are sent a letter with a court date 5-8 weeks after the deadline.
In court you argue your case, if anyone from the UKBA/Home Office decides that that want to attend.
If successful and 90+% of the time people are, the judge sends a letter and the AC contacts you to take your passport, add another 4 weeks to this before you get your VISA.
I will give you just an example of the time frame and note this is an example only.
1 January - VISA Application Submission.
20 March - Refusal with Notice of Decision received.
5 April - Appeal lodged.
8 May - Appeal processed. Deadline given to ECM.
18 September - Deadline date.
5 September - ECM overturns Decision.
15 September - Letter received
16 Septemeber - Passport and TB certificate requested by Application Centre
10 October - Passport with VISA returned.

The ECM can choose not to reply or they simply may not have looked at the appeal altogether. Either way, no response from the ECM usually means the judge gives them an earful at the court hearing for potentially wasting everyone's time.sKAUR wrote: thank you that answers alot of questions. in regards to the ecm not replying does that mean is that acceptable that they can not reply at all
in my case can u suggest what might happen basiclly my application was read wrong and rushed i had clearly stated it was a love marriage and the eco wrote back ''you have stated that this is a aranged marriage. therefore it has not been explained why a younger single man would be a suitable match for a divorcee with three children.king2be98 wrote:The ECM can choose not to reply or they simply may not have looked at the appeal altogether.

I know of people who said their ECMs didn't reply and didn't show up to the court hearing, very easy win for them and a guaranteed VISA.
No one likes being humiliated, ECMs avoid going to court usually or their representatives because they often get slaughtered for their stupidity in the decision making process.

This list gives me a bit of relief; whatsoever every application is different...
@ All:
I had contacted the BHC, regarding why it is taking so much time for my application..
They told me that they are considering the application from April 25th and not March 30th...
