mmoosa wrote:@Samelamin, Many congratulations. I'm really glad to know that.

Did you received court's decision in writing? If yes, when did you received that?

When was the court fee refunded? I mean how many days after you received the court's decision?

Can you please share the email address of Home Office from which you received the dispatch email?

Send an email to EREC@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

saying your appeal was successful and you want your RC issued immediately, if you won the appeal you could try and push to say that your case was mishandled and by law they need to give you priority treatment.


I did not get my appeal fee refunded no, I was told I was not except from fees as I was not giving removal instructions even though I was asked to make plans to leave the country

Congratulation Samelamin!! WOW that was very quick dear. Please guide everyone that how you get your RC so quickly? If there is a normal appeal and it got successful then what a person has to do ? your procedure can apply on on normal appeal as well?

ZAHIRSONA!! I am sorry dear due to festival i couldn't check forum. I hope you are good. Dear I rang my solicitor, he has already received my bundle and there is nothing special in that. same as we expected. But dear you mentioned something in your last post to me that you had received "a date of oral hearing ". What exactly was it ? please can you explain that to me?

Sorry Samalamin I have just read your post about procedure didn't see that before that is why i wrote you to explain procedure. But as I asked that will it still apply on normal appeal as well ?

Many many congratulations,Samelamin,!!!! It is finally over for you. I am so glad to.hear this news after such a long battle,you really deserve it.Thanks for letting us know that email address. You shuould celebrate it properly.

My husband and I received the notification of the successful appeal one week after the oral hearing. It was also stating we are not entitled to any fee refund.We call to the HO and said that R.C. would be issued and sent within 12 weeks,that is 3 months,but we are going to claim priority to get it ASAP.

Still all my support to those who are appealing,you are in the final stage,need to keep strong.

Best,

Hi Guys, I have a very good news. I have received a letter from Immigration and Asylum First-tier Tribunal today. It says my appeal is allowed. What a relief ..uff. I couldn't believe when I heard this news. It also says that The Secretary of State for the Home department have a permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal on a point of law arising from the First-tier Tribunal's decision which is unlikely to be happen as my solicitor said. I am thankful to all of you guys for your prayers. I don't have words to explain my feelings now. My prayers and best wishes to everyone.

Thank you very much Zahirsona, My prayers are for you as well. With the help of God your appeal will be successful as well. I found Tribunal Judge very lenient towards appellants. I hope that that they will also give you justice.

Thanks horizon for your reply did you receive the court decision letter if yes when you send your court decision letter to home office yes i know the Tribunal judge very lenient towards appellants.i am just waiting 30th august after that date they send me my appeal decision.
horizon the court give you deadline 13th August for more documents submission after 10 days you receive your appeal decision thats good but pray for me as well once again Congratulations.

the judge wasnt happy with home office decision, they dint work properly on my application and because home office dnt send any representative to the court, so the judge issue me refund

I need an answer to this question with people that has been to appeal...

At the tribunal, what exactly is the judge looking for in a marriage of convenience case?
Is it the past immigration history or if both couples are married and in a relationship and living together?

If the couple are found that they are married and living together in a genuine relationship under the same roof, is the case solved or the past immigration history will still be looked into?

I am confused here because I don’t really know what the judge at the tribunal are really looking for in a case as HO always use past immigration history to back their decision for refusal without interviewing the applicant or home visit.

A friend of mine that has been living together for almost three years was at the tribunal, she said after they interview she and her spouse, the HOPO accepted that they are in a relationship and they are living together but said they only get into relationship because her spouse past immigration application was refused that is why they got married and the HOPO even say their relationship flourish when her spouse application was refused and the judge question the HOPO if anything is wrong if a relationship flourished.

My friend is really worried if her spouse application will be refused on the past immigration history even though they are genuinely married and living together for almost three years. The spouse has no criminal background but past immigration application was only refused. This is the reason I am asking what exactly will the judge at the tribunal judge the case on.

Hello everyone,
I am a March applicant.
My timeline is as follows:

EEA2 applied on 9th March 2012
COA received on 1st May (dated 24th April)
Requested my EEA partners ID back on 14th May
Received my EEA partners ID back on 18th May
RC refused on 22nd Aug
Notice of refusal with all docs except passport received: 24th Aug
Refusal reasons: no enough evidence showing my EEA sponsor is exercising treaty rights as she is unemployed. I've sent them application on the basis of job seeker and to support that I've attached her job application letters, job centre plus letters showing that she has registered unemployed. But they say in refusal letter that for exercising treaty rights she must be employed atleast 1 year before getting unemployed. Furthermore at the time of decision, she was still unemployed for more than 6 months. So they refuse my case with a right to appeal. If not I have to leave UK.
I want to ask for your help guys, is there any way that I can prove that after submitting my application she started to work since March to prove that she is now exercising treaty rights after application was made? Will that work? If so, what should I do next? Please help guys!
Thank you!
