The problem for you is that AIT let you down, not UKBA. The AIT responded so late, why did they take 3 months to send the notice of pending appeal? Unacceptable.

You should complain to the AIT for the poor service because every single person gets their appeal handled inside 5 weeks if they make a payment, you are the first person who's appeal was process so late.

As for the second comment, no they don't always call you before issuing a call letter. Sometimes as in my case and in aaaa123's case, you are merely sent the call letter in the form of an email.

It really does depend on your grounds for appeal, if they don't want to be humiliated by the judge in court, they will withdraw, otherwise it may go to court. I hope for your sake they withdraw.

JUST A QUICK QUESTION PEEPZ, I WAS READING THIS ON THE UKBA WEBSITE, RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM IT SAYS 90 WORKING DAYS WHAT DO THEY MEAN BY THIS?? THANKS

What happens next?
You appeal will be accepted when the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) (FTTIAC) receives your payment. The FTTIAC will then notify the visa office that refused your application, by sending them a notice of receipt.

An entry clearance manager (ECM) at the visa office will review our decision to refuse your application, in light of your appeal form and any supporting documents that you have sent. If the ECM is satisfied that your application meets the Immigration Rules, they may overturn our original decision and issue you with a visa or entry clearance.

If the ECM does not overturn the decision, an entry clearance officer (ECO) will write a statement explaining why the ECM has upheld the decision to refuse your application. We will send this and all your papers (known as 'the appeal bundle') to the FTTIAC. We will prepare and send your appeal bundle within:

20 working days for non-settlement and family visitor cases; or
90 working days for settlement cases.

[Mandarin]

Thank you.

90 working days is about 19 weeks in their eyes. In my case, the ECM never reviewed my appeal. In his letter to the Tribunal, he wrote that he did not have the resources or time to review my application and the judge should decide my case.

I got a court hearing date of 10 Sep.

Just before the hearing, they withdrew their decision, as the Home Office lawyer realized they were wrong.

[prince007]

Thank you for your wishes!

they make people wait soo long. but glad that u have ur visa now. when u looking to travel or u alrdy here?

[Mandarin]

That's just it. I am still waiting. They will send me a call letter requesting my passport. Then they will stamp the visa. A process that can take a further 8 to 10 weeks

It has been 11 months... My wait is not over yet.

I hope to travel in October... If I am really lucky.

Hi Guys... im sory to add my late reply as i was in pakistan i could not add my timeline in....
Well I applied 2 weeks before King2be and 2 weeks after syma and about a month before aaaaa123..............I havent heard anything im so gutted.

[king2be98]

Zully a lot of people are getting withdrawals on their appeals so they are actually reviewing more appeals it seems. I wouldn't worry too much yet, they will probably overturn yours soon as well. It's a case of which ECM is doing it, one might be busier than the other.

What is your deadline date?

Not everyone has their decision reviewed by the same ECM, the one reviewing Zully's case might be different to the one reviewing prince's case, hence it's hardly ever a first come first serve thing, personally I think it should be, but it isn't.

There really is only one thing we can advise during this 19 week period, which is to wait patiently. Not much we can do to push the decision to be made sooner.

Don't know if this has been posted before but thought it would be helpful for you guys awaiting review /appeal. It gives a good overview on the whole process.. Good to see it has improved but there is still work to do

I just wanted to ask that when i wrote my appeal letter i did state that i will be having a baby in june, But i have not sent his birth certificate do you think i should send it as it is solid proof. What do you think?

If it's relevant to your case, then send it, if not don't. In this case it would only be relevant in terms of financial support ie. some of your income would go towards the baby, however you applied and appealed well before the new changes, so it's not relevant.

If it's relevant send the document.
