That is just the date you should send the document..
It is not the hearing date.
How did you appeal? Online or papers?

Hi,
I am still waiting for the RC even after winning appeal for more than 10 weeks. I dont know whats going on......
they are playing with our situations. They know we can not do anything so they free to do anything. I called them many times , always HO say it can take few week more. Yesterday i was calling and now they changed their number. Does anybody know new number for Appeal enquiry.
One question: can they still check my wife working status. i mean either is she working or not? Please tell me...

have you been paid award fee? They may check her if she works all will be fine. Let your mp write a letter to them. Is it 10 weeks since you were served determination or since you won appeal?

She will need to have jsa, you can probably send them pap soon if nothing arrives to you shortly. Give it another week or two.

Hi Guys,
I'm in bit of dilemma . Please help.
We applied for EEA2 got refused, sent reconsideration. And today we received a letter saying please forward us your passport.
I know it's bit vague question but can someone please advise what will be the outcome? I understand if UKBA doesn't have the passports with them they normally issue the residence card on the A4 sheet. But this is surprising case worker demanding passport again.
Please can you let me know if someone had this kind of scenario before??
Appreciate your help guys.
Thanks
GOD BLESS

HI,
I am very happy
@I've got visa after winning appeal back in january 2014@
This forum is so helpful. I want to thank everyone who helped or gave reply to my silly questions. This visa process groomed me a lot. "Now i know how to wait patiencely without saying anything".
From the start of application to now is almost 3 years. Never loose hope.
Advice: "Always hire a very good barrister". It will pay you off. I did mistake before by hiring unexperience barrister.
Thnaks again to everyone in this forum....

Thanks bud, insufficient proof of dependency, so I wrote them a letter and sent them few more documents along with the reconsideration. I wrote the reconsideration to the same caseworker who refused the application.
on 2nd April they sent me a letter to re-send the passport? so bit confused at the moment, if they reconsidered the decision they could have sent the residence card on A4 sheet? so that's why bit worried.
Thanks
GOD BLESS

Refused: 19th March
Reconsideration Sent: 24th March
Passport Request by UKBA: 2nd April - The letter says like this " in order for this department to recosider your application, please forward us your original passport" and the below is case worker name and address - who initially refused the application.
Passport sent: 05th April
Now eagerly waiting, again I'm well confused and nerves kicking in. The only this which is bothering me is if UKBA did decide to reconsider my application they could have issued the residence card of A4 sheet? why asking for passport again if they've seen it already? - does UKBA wants to retain the passport?
I know no one can definitely answer but I've never seen this scenario before? unless someone can please help me where UKBA requested the passport again either to refuse or to issue the residence card?
anybody happen to know??
GOD BLESS

Hello Everyone,
On 1st of April, I called the court and found out my Appeal was allowed and the determination was sent on the 27/02/14 . I didn't received the determination because I have changed my address and my solicitor claimed he has not received anything yet. Do I need to ask the court to send me another one ? also I have my passport with me . Do I need to send my passport to HO or wait for HO to contact me? I have also closed the account I used to pay for the appeal . How do you reckon the fees will be refunded? Thanks in advance.

My appeal was a written one. It was sent by fax on the 24th January 2014.
Sent 24/1/14
Requirement to pay fee: 29/1/14
Hearing Date: 12/03/14
Up till now, I have not received any information from the tribunal about the hearing. Please I would like to know how long it takes for a written appeal.
Many thanks

HI,
the best option avaiable is to contact with you local MP. HO is really slow and incompetent. HO plays with feelings of applicant. They will never tell you truth. I called them 3rd of april regarding my case progress and they said sorry we dont have enought information regarding your case & you need to wait couple of weeks. they beat about the bush. I contact with 20 march with MY mp as well. You will not believe stamp on my visa was 24 of march 2014.
All of you who are waiting after winning appeal should contact with your local MP. meantime keep calling them..
thanks
