My wife FLR (FP) refused with the right of appeal.

My background:
- I have recently obtained ILR on long residence.
- I applied for registration for my UK born child through NCS Edinburgh as well.
- I applied for my Mrs on FLR (FP) because I wasn't able to meet the financial requirements

I have received all the documents of my Mrs back without her passport; including:
IAFT – 1 Appeal form (Deadline for appeal is 8th January 2015):

1. I shall be very thankful if someone kindly tell me how to Appeal to the first tier tribunal, and what's next after first tribunal?

Send the appeal form to tribunal with refusal reasons and your grounds and fees. If refuse at first tribunal u can go to UT but first u need to get permission to go to UT from FTT and if refuse than directly from UT.

2. Should I just fill the IAFT – 1 Appeal form with the best of my knowledge or get a lawyer?

Better to hire a good lawyer

3. Which is better; Oral hearing / paper hearing?

Oral hearing.

4. How long does it take?

Depend on your location. If glasgow than 2 to 3 months in first tribunal and 4 to 5 in total if u go to UT.

5. Can I still be able to apply for FLR (M) while appeal of FLR (FP) under process?

No. Cant put a new application when appeal is in process

6. Will my mrs FLR (M) application (probably in the month of May 2015) consider a new application or variation?

It depends on the outcome of the appeal if u succeed in FTT than u can vary your application to flr m.

7. OR should I have to withdraw appeal altogether and apply FLR (M) as a completely new application?

I think u need to give a go at first tribunal. It is possible that your appeal will allow. All depends on your child British passport.
if it arrives before your wife hearing than u have very good chance of success in hearing. As u hold ILR and child is british citizen. judge will go in your wife favour.



Many thanks.

Has anyone experienced this and what will happen if they do? Also if they don't when will my husband receive his passport back and things like that?

Many many thanks for your very very details replies.
I applied for my child reg as BC on 17 Dec through Edinburgh council and hoping to send my mrs Appeal form back on 5 January 2015. I am hoping when the date of my hearing will come my child will receive at least his registration certificate.

Some one told me on paper hearing I can pass some time till my child will receive his registration certificate.

Though I will put my maximum effort on FLR (FP) appeal yet I was very much incline to apply FLR (M) while appeal is under process. As in my understanding I don't see any reason of refusal especially once I will meet the income threshold and all the other requirements will met. But I don't know.

Please do keep in touch and continue your guidance

Many thanks

Registration certificate is not sufficient but the British passport which u can get same day service after getting registration certificate.

If u r after long hearing date or spend more time on hearing than some tips from my side

Obie wrote:The registration is what confers citizenship and not the passport.

The registration certificate alone will be sufficient, provided it comes through before appeal.
