But I believe all the November deadlines got their review decisions and now it's time for December deadline and hope fully Asif_sharif would be the next one who will get his updates.
You are correct but for both you guys who have their decision in December a quicker way to find out about your appeal decision is to phone the courts OK a Tuesday and Friday as they will have a response before you get the letter which is normally a week later, please keep us updated as I am a week after both of you.

Salaam guys,

alhamdulillah my wife received a call letter via email yday so that statement about "if you dont hear within 6-9 weeks it's going to court" can't be taken as a certainty.

We received an email last week from Sheffield to say the decision has been withdrawn and Islamabad will contact you. That letter was dated in August for some reason.

Does anyone know if my wife can just go into the VAC with her passport and the call letter or does she need to wait until they ring her...does she need to book an appointment to hand her passport in?

There isn't much detail the refusal letter states, "In view of the fact that you have not provided specified evidence for the specified periods as stated in the appendix fm-se of immigration rules, I am not satisfied that u have met the financia reqmt.
I therefore refuse ur application on under paragraph EC-P 1.1(d) of AppendixFM of the immigration rules (E-ECP 3.1)."

I included six months bank stmts and declared the source of savings so I'm at a loss to explain why it was rejected. TherE isn't a specific reason given as to why it was rejected.

Does anyone know how much an appeal costs and how long it will take?
Raymandosnr this is his refusal.

thanks guys, I pray inshaAllah it all works out for all of us soon!
the only thing they asked for on the call letter to submit was the passport (it shouldn't be expiring within the next 6 months) that's all.
We've not received a call from Mirpur VAC so maybe they wern't notified as it was through email that the letter was sent from the Islamabad embassy. So my wife will go tomorrow and hopefully they will allow her to submit the passport.

Hi every one.
Just need some help. My wife application was refused in mid April 2015 in Islamabad. because I didn't bank my part time job wages. They don't accept cash in hand. My review deadline was early October it was unsuccessful. No court date yet.
My wife and child have got hurt in earthquake in Afghanistan me and my both kids are British.
My question is if I write a letter to the tribunal to accelerate my appeals because my wife and child are hurt and are in disparate situation to provide them the proofs the pictures that our house walls have collapsed hospital report that they have been admitted to hospital my child might need treatment in the uk can't travel without his mum he's two yrs old.
Is there any chance that they will accelerate my court date? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Yes bro they will definitely consider the expedite request if you can provide them the proofs. And there's no harm to try and take the step.
