Tier 1(General) appeal won , whats next ?

tier1_appeal · Post by **tier1_appeal** » Thu Jan 01, 2009 3:04 am

Dear All,

I have gone through a long process of Tier1(general) application and my application got refused. I lodged an appeal and appeared into a court hearing and by the grace of GOD appeal was allowed. My court hearing was on 31st october 2008 and the decission was dated 11th November 2008.
I was very happy to see my appeal getting successful. But the new problem is that I dont know whats going to be new phase. I was told by my lawyer that home office will get in touch with me asking me to send them my passport for the VISA stamping but I have waited for almost 1.5 months now for that moment to come.
I phoned up the home office and they were not helpful at all. All the lady on the phone suggested to me was to write a letter to the person who took the decission on the application initially. So I wrote a letter to the case worker explaining to him that my appeal has been allowed and what do I need to do. It has been almost 3 weeks now and I haven't heard from the home office as yet.
I dont know what do now. I have no idea what to do next.
I will be very thankful to all of you to please suggest to me what my options are and how long do I have to wait more for some desparate steps to be taken like going to local MP or something. I thank all of you already for taking your time to read through this post.

Thanks very much.

Dear tier1_appeal

The same problem is faced by me. My decision date is 31st October 2008 and court determination send to me. than I email AIT and they confirmed the successful appeal and wrote that I will be contacted by my embassy within 6 weeks but uptill now 8 weeks have been passed but of no use now I have told my consultant to fax them let see what happen. But I have been told that it will take 12 to 14 weeks to be contacted by BHC for submission of passport after the decision . Lets hope for the best. in fact I am from Pakistan.
please share if you have any information
Thanks

Sure Laraib,,,
I will keep you up to date as to what happens next . I am in the UK and that should have been a bit of an advantage but none so far ...
Your decission is a bit earlier than mine.

Wish both of us luck ...

please send us updates if you get any ..

THANKS

Hi Everybody,
Wishing you all a very happy new year.

I am also from the same category of getting successful appeal in 1st week of nov 08. After reading all of yours posing, let me confirm you guys that nothing to worry about once appeal has been allowed.

they are taking so much time since it was christmas & new year time and large no of staffs go on leave...so everything becomes slow.

i was following it up weekly once with BHC - Chennai and asking them what's next. they took exactly 1 and half month to send a letter asking for submission of passport via VFS.

what they generally do is, the ECO reviews the decision again just to learn what mistakes were done earlier and then he arranges to send the letter for submitting the passport. nothing to worry.

Hi Mohan

Congrats to you/ One question I am thinking Is the ECO do verification again as they do first time? What type of verification they do if you have any idea can you share it.

mohan76 · Post by **mohan76** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 7:40 am

As far as i have understood from my discussion with Visa Department Staff of chennai - ECO again checks on what basis the appeal has been allowed and what mistakes were done intially. ECO just goes through the determination explanation and verfies the same with the file. If he is satisfied he just allows.

If he finds something wrong in the determination, then he can appeal again BUT within 10 days after receiving the determination.

So, first we should try and find from visa staff that no appeal has been made again against the appeal allowed by tactfully talking to him over phone. If nothing in 10 days, then all fine.......just calls for little more patience and wait for letter.

I am in worse position like you guys.
My appeal was allowed on 16th Oct, 2008 and I am still waiting to hear anything from Home Office. No advantage of being in London.
I tried all the remedies that you guys tried but no luck...Always one answer...WAIT...
Some people have suggested me to see the local MP and that I would do soon.
One of my friend received his calling-in letter exactly after 3 and half months but In my case, it has already been 4 and half months.
I think due to the bad economic conditions there is pressure on home office to give their own citizens any jobs so Home office wants to frustrate us by using delay tactics so that we leave by ourself.
