Confused about Tourist Visa Appeal process???

[sva19]

My Brother failed to get his tourist visa in June, after 2nd attempt appying.

I then completed an appeal form IAFT-2 together with more document and sent it off to the UK office.

I got an letter " Notice of Pending Appeal"

It says "The tribunal directs the respondent to file by 8 sept 2011, a copy of the notice of decision to which the notice of appeal relastes and any other document giving reasons for that decisions, toether with any application form, record of interview etc... You must serve , on the appelant , a copy of all the documents, except for document which you have aleady sent to the appellant"


At this stae - we have not done anything was something need to be done????


Then today 15 sept got letter:-

Notice of pending appeal

To the respondent

"You are require by the baove to file with the tribunal the documents specified within the rule. the notice of receipt issued for this appeal specified that these documents should be filed by 8 sept 2011.

The tribunal has to date not received these documents.

you are required to supply the document specified in rule 13 without further delay. You must serve , on the appelant , a copy of all the documents, except for document which you have aleady sent to the appellant"

Please note that under rule 51[4] the tribunal must not consider any written evidence which is not filed in accordance with directions unless it is satisfied that there is good reason to do so.

This appeal will proceeed to be determined [on paper] on or after 11 nov 2011. if the specified documents are not filed with the tribunal 2 working days before this date , subject to rule 51 [4] , the appeal may then be determined in their absense"


I THINK I MAY MISSED SOMETHING FROM THE 1ST APPEAL LETER RECEIVED , WAS I OR MY BROTHER SUPPOSED TO FILE SOMETHING IN INDIA OR IN UK?

IS IT THE WHOLE DOCUMENT THEY ORIINALL SUBMITTED WHEN THEY MADE THE APPLICATIONS?

I was under impression that the Uk offcie will requested the photocopied file from their India offcie when they do the appeal and all I ned to send was the appeal app form and my supporting documents for the appeal?

Please advise someone thanks
