Pakistan UK Spouse visa appeals

[stillwaiting123]

New week tommorow inshallah!!!!


Please note when visa is granted u don't need to submit tb test certificate with letter and passport as my friend didn't and her hubby received visa on Friday also the letter does not state u need to submit it too..

But you will need one when entwring the UK,m?

No u don't they don't ask for it, u can also travel with the expired tb test

[Raymandosnr]

Anybody that has received a call in letter can you please tell me why they ask you when they phone you, is it in English and Urdu and how long after phone call did you revieve the call in letter through post, can they email it to you if you request it

My friends husband got a call on the Friday asking to confirm address and that when letter comes attach passport and bring it in he received letter on the next Wednesday and then received passport back 2 weeks later...

Was this or Urdu or English the phone call I mean ?

Documents to send visa post, Originals or photocopies?
Shall I send through DHL or Post Office,
I am thinking to go for Oral hearing,
should I declare my sponser as my representative?
As I dont want to pay a lawyer as yet.
Thanks

I have some questions to ask if you could answer,

Please see my response below.

Documents to send visa post, Originals or photocopies? The court always ask you for photocopies. Don't send the Original please.
[/color][/b][/b]Shall I send through DHL or Post Office, You can use any postal service which will provide you tracking facility. My Lawyer/representative have faxed my documents and it received ok by the Court. and faxing them the documents is the quickest way to do it as well.

I am thinking to go for Oral hearing,I've also opted for Oral hearing its the best way to do it. I guess most of the people would like to have an Oral hearing
should I declare my sponser as my representative? Well you can do this by all means I am not really happy from my lawyer performance so far and they are all crooks that's all I can say. It took me ages to explain my case to that dumb idiot and I am the biggest idiot than him who's still paying him £1700 to represent my case in the court. The fees just tells you my desperate situation.
As I dont want to pay a lawyer as yet.

always send photocopies but keep originals handy as they may ask for them at a later stage and my solicitor sent my documents next day delivery guaranteed by 1pm

should I declare my sponser as my representative?

yes you can if you want to as you don't have to get a lawyer, I got a new one for my appeal and she's really good as gave me peiece of mind, also she added the legal mumbo jumbo that words into appeal too

Always go for Oral as it tells them you mean business and gives you a better chance for the ECM to overturn decision at review stage

Thanks

Would you advise me about possible grounds of appeal.
What shall I write in there, as I am doing it myself and you have done via solicitor so you probably can guide me well

[imi92]

Just sharing my experience of going through the appeals process.

Visa Type: Spouse visa
Applied : 11.03.15
Refused : 03.06.15
Application Location: Mirpur
Refusal Reason: Only 7 months bank statements provided
Appealed:04.06.15
Payment Taken:04.06.15
Documents sent to tribunal:05.06.15
Notice of pending appeal letter:29.06.15 appeal date of after 12.10.15
Withdrawal of home office decision:04.08.15
Call in letter/email: 31.08.15
Passport submitted:04.09.15
Passport collected visa stamped:23.09.15

Visa is for 33 months so anybody that appealed before the new rules about 30 day visa it appears still gets the 33 month visa without having to visit a post office to collect brp card.
What i would say about the process is that it was very slow and stressful process but ultimetly if you provide the correct documents you should get a positive result in 3 months, in my case i didnt read the rule properly which meant a delay of an additional over 3 months.

[shy1]

Hi imi92
just wanted to ask the reason for your refusal. You said that you gave 7 months wageslips, they only ask for 6 month wageslips

[imi92]

Hi imi92
just wanted to ask the reason for your refusal. You said that you gave 7 months wageslips, they only ask for 6 month wageslips

I didnt mention wage slips, i had applied using my income from my property business but had incorrectly assumed i would only need to provide 6 months bank statements but the rules as i found out later stated that i should have provided 12 months worth of bank statements.

Hi stillwaiting123.

I have been following your progress for a while as my appeal is not too far behind yours. I am truly sorry your case has been escalated - like me you have been waiting an awfully long time.

Inshallah I will keep you in my duas.

One question I had though, which number did you use to contact them? I'm not sure which one to call.

Also, I recall you said you would not post on the forum as often anymore - would you be kind enough to let us know the court date you are quoted?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your kind words

In my opinion if you don't hear in the 9/10week into deadline then it will go to court
I have not received a date as of yet just found out on Thurs that it is up for court

Another sisters deadline was 6th October she has received court date 8th Feb and today received back court bundle from embassy...don't worry I will update once I have more info to share

The number to call is 0300 123 1711 its free to call from mob & landline...press option 4 and they will ask for appeal reference and some other basic questions and just ask if there has been a reply or update from embassy

All the best
