Hi everyone,
Today I called to Tribunal regarding my fees refund, they told 'HO will refund your money in 12weeks time and if you got any enquiries email to
appealsfeesenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk'. It's been 6weeks for me.
My question is do can I call to home office and ask regarding refund and status. I see So far many board members called to HO, but my solicitor said don't call HO pls be patience.
Regards,
Smart

Smartpen, I email to HO on the said email and after a week I got reply saying that they don't have my details on their system. Bear in mind my appeal was allowed in end of November 13. In the email I was told to wait as it may be on its way from the Tribunal

It's been 12 weeks for me since my appeal was allowed. But I haven't received any refund either. I think when they process your application it's then when they refund the appeal fee. But hard to say anything coz some have got their fee refunded and are still waiting. I am waiting for everything. Can't wait more but can't do anything either. And I guess there is no harm in calling HO to ask for status update it doesn't hamper the situation. But in your case (smartpen) your solicitor might have asked you to wait coz it's just been 6 weeks and usual wait time as per HO website is to wait for 8-12 weeks before contacting them. Until it's an emergency. So I guess if there is no rush you can wait and contact them later. I contacted HO after the 8th week passed and will do again next week.

Hi appeal786,
As per the soc codes 2000 1174 is in NVQ level4 but we must follow soc code 2010 table i.e. 1174 conversion index code became 3319 which is also in NVQ level 4. You can have look conversion index table in soc codes PDF document page no 23.
Can you pls wait for more experts suggestions..... What will they say....
Thanks & regards,
Smart

Hi frnds,
Can you pls tell me what happens if there is gap for £50k. I still have money but there was a 1 1/2 month gap due to my business partner separated in January. Now I have funds in my accounts £10k in uk bank + £40k in overseas.
Will the HO ask continuous statement or just funds availability statements?
Thanks & regards,
Smart

Hi Smartpen,
As far as my knowledge is concerned there is no rule which says that Funds should be held for a specific period. It's just for maintenance a period of 90 days. But obviously, it sounds more genuine if funds are held in an account rather than reflecting in your account 1 or 2 days before HO requests for statement of funds again. If they do. And, moreover, if any question arise you have a reason that your partner pulled out. So I guess, it's all fine. Just try and keep the funds at one place now.

Hi Aarnavi,
Don't know much about it, copied pasted this from another user's reply. Hope it will help.
Appeal Allowed - Appeal remitted to the respondent (Caseworker)
Where the appeal has been allowed to the extent that it has been remitted back to the Respondent and the port/casework section that refused the original LTE/LTR should review their decision to refuse taking into account the determination. If the casework section still considers the decision to refuse LTE/LTR is the right decision they should re-issue the decision direct to the appellant and/or their representatives.
Appeal allowed - no Directions given
HO receives an allowed determination and Tribunal has not given directions. SAT has not applied to court for the case to be reviewed.
Appeals are considered on the basis of the facts at the time of the original application not at the date of the appeal hearing. An allowed appeal means that the IJ has ruled that the HO was wrong to refuse LTR not that the applicant is entitled to LTR.
HO should normally issue Leave within 8 weeks of receiving the determination unless:
there has been a significant and material change in circumstances since the refusal decision of which the IAC would be unaware;
or
there has been a material deception which has come to light of which the Immigration Judge would not have been aware;
or
the results of checks that instigated prior to refusing applicant came back after the appeal was heard.
If the above circumstances apply, HO should first consider challenging the determination.
Re-refusing an application where appeal allowed but no directions given
Caseworkers should normally act in accordance with a determination unless the circumstances above applies.
Before re-refusing an applicant, caseworker must first ask the UKBA Specialist Appeals Team (SAT) to challenge the decision (see above). If the SAT challenge the decision, the Caseworker must take no action until UKBA inform them of the final appeal determination.
Senior Manager must endorse any re-refusal. The refusal notice must make it clear why caseworker was not prepared to grant TR. All new reasons for refusal must be factual and be supported by relevant documentation / evidence.
HO receives an allowed determination and the Immigration Judge has directed that LTR is issued.
There is a statutory duty under Section 87(2) of the 2002 Act for the caseworker to comply with directions, unless the determination is subject to further appeal.
Caseworker has no power to re-refuse an application if an immigration judge has 'directed issue' of LTR. HO must issue the LTR in accordance with the immigration rules.

Thnq very much Goblin,
aarnavi,
my solicitor told me case will go to same case worker and they will open file once they finished their current allocated files. He also said "before issuing visa if they have any doubts they will ask for documents but they don't have rights to refuse straight away after appeal".
Thanks

Alhamdulillah my appeal is allowed.
Hearing date: 30/01/14
Decision date: 13/02/14
Letter issue date: 21/02/14
Received date: 25/02/14
Please tell me the meaning of decision I am bit confused.
DECISION WORDING IS:
I allow the appeal of the appellant because the decision was not accordance the law and accordingly the decision remains outstanding for the respondent to determine. No anonymity direction is made.

Hey Pak,
I am not so sure, but I think it means it has been allowed for reconsideration. So depending upon your reasons for refusal, case worker might request further docs for verification if they want to make any further checks or they can even straight away issue you your visa. But nonetheless it's good news. So now just relax and wait for you BRP to come. Hopefully, shouldn't be too long. You should receive it in a time frame of 5-12 weeks. Good luck.
