subject line: Appeal No - - Appellant's name - Settlement Visa Refusal Appeal Case

Hello,

I applied for settlement visa application on 5th Sept, 2011 from VFS, New Delhi. Unfortunately, I was refused entry clearance and received a Refusal Notice on 4th Oct, 2011.

Following are the details about me:

3. Date of Birth :
4. India Address :
5. Appeal Reference No :


We appealed and are still waiting to hear something positive from the post. Please let me know at what stage are we and if any decision has been made as its really torturing to live apart from my husband specially when newly married.

Hope to hear from you very soon.

Regards,

My Name
(Phone Number)

NOTE: Please do mention the details like DOB, Passport number like i did as i was advised by AIT to mention all this in the email... dats why posting the correct format here to avoid any further delays in reply frm AIT...

Get a magic wand and look at the clouds while waving your wand in a way saying:
''Rain Rain,
Such a pain.
Rain Rain
Go to spain
you are such a shame!''

Hopefully that will make the rain go away ;-)

Btw I didn't mean any offence to Spain in the above rhyme.

Hi Lucy,

As you have said you received the letters through normal post, so I am assuming you didn't have to give your signature to the postman for receiving the letters, am I right? The reason I'm asking this question is because I am usually not at home because of my job.

Sorry to bother you again. Many thanks for your help.
