Once you receive your letter of appeal hearing confirming the date you will know where to send any documents. The court address will be provided on that letter.

My previous solicitor sent witness statements already, but for hearing we will be preparing more evidence to rely on. Going in with full ammo!

As you are outside of UK do consider video link - shows your language skills and your willingness to include yourself at given opportunity to persuade the judge and answer questions on the spot clearing any doubts instantly.

Update on my case: I got a letter from the tribunal but it is not exactly a hearing date letter. It says that the Home Office has still not submitted the bundle and that my hearing date will most probably be the next available date after the second week of February. The Home Office has till then to submit the bundle. I don't know why they are being given even more time to submit the bundle.

My letter clearly states a hearing date. And the 15 weeks are up surly... least they have informed you not to except something before second week of feb since the must be fully booked up.
I really hope you get a date in feb!

Update; I was too lucky to have such an early appeal date.

Court rang my lawyer and told us that the appeal date has now changed - extended it to end of Feb.

Waiting for new court letter.

Will update with any changes.

Hi guys
Quick
When visa is refused ...does 28 days to lodge appeal start from date on refusal letter or the date you collected your passport?

Oh no - I came on to wish you the best with the tribunal.

They've moved it by a month so we are still on a pretty decent timeline. Have you received a new court letter? Hope it is in Feb for you!

Thanks fififadi- you came on the date of my hearing date which has now been changed. You timed it well.

They contacted my solicitor and requested my husbands witness statements, these were given on 15 Jan 2020. We now have to wait till 28 Jan to see what happens. Either it will proceed towards end of feb court appeal hearing, or HOME OFFICE will change their decision. Nothing in writing yet.
If no response is given and proceeds to court then we will submit the whole bundle which we have had prepared for the court hearing (22 JAN 2020, which has not changed towards end of FEB)

Nothing is straight forward.

How’s it going with you

Hey

Ok, so until end of Feb they can still withdraw their original decision. I hope they do just that and your wait is over.

It’s silly how everything is dragged out so long! There really should be a fast track service for appeals too!

Well my notice of appeal didn’t have an exact date on there for the review, it said it takes approximately 15 weeks. I’ve calculated this to be mid March. I’ve seen others were actually specified a date.

I just hope we get listed for court very soon after the review date is up!

Also, just a question, if I want to change my representation mid appeal, can this be done? I’m not really having much communication through my current solicitor.

Hi fififadi,

Yes, I have my appeal hearing in approx 2 weeks time.

The home office requested witness statements and have also requested for the video link which we had put forward. This means, they want to speak to my spouse in court in addition to me, separately. We need to make sure our points and arguments are the same.

We have also arranged a barrister.

Whats your situation?

Hi,

That's great news! I hope it all goes well for you, sending you lots of prayers and good wishes.

Hiring a barrister is best i think, especially if the refusal wasn't due to a missing document etc.

I have changed representation now, HO contacted my spouse to say only partial pages of the grounds of appeal were submitted, (previous solicitors) so had to sort that out as quickly as possible. We still have a month to go until our 15 weeks are up!

Please keep me posted on your progress.

Hi

I think I've posted my timeline in this thread, if you want full details.

I received my notice of appeal on 4th December - 15 weeks are up 18th March. When did you receive yours?

Hi BordersDivide and ANKST.

Was just wondering if you both got your appeal hearing dates for this month?
