Sorry to hear the sad news!

You have much higher posibility of a refusal if you apply for a visitor visa now. As the UKBA would suspect that you are not going to return back on your visa expiry or allowed time in the UK.

I would suggest if it was such a small piece of information required (NARIC comparison letter), you should get this bundled as soon as possible with as much further information as possible to give clear answers to the questions raised in the refusal. You would have more chances of the decision getting overturned through the ECM review.

Hope this helps.

Well!! The way i actually did it was the call the bhc not bhx sorry in dehli direct and said sumone called me n im callin back i dont no the name but it was from the appeal dept. I know it was the wrong way. They then told me it takes 12 weekz for them to decide thats their deadline whether tbey issue or not or send bak to the uk. The lady was nice on the phone she said our application was sent to them n recieved on the 10th sept so it means another 7 to 8 weeks but they MAY decide sooner. Hope this helps will give you the number u have to be persistent as i and my husband both called maybe now they believe that our mariage is not sham x

Visa has been refused because of non submission of UK NARIC comparison statement along with My bachelor degree certificate. It is just matter of a piece paper which i could have got easily , but my Agent didnt mentioned anything about this matter. so end up with a refusal.As my chances are high I'm planing to appeal. so please let me know the whole procedure. Do I need to hire a solicitor to proceed my appeal? But I think i dont coz my case wont be going to court and decision can be overturned by ECO if i submit the proper document they want along with the appeal form.
Yours is an easy appeal, you will simply need tog et the documents they're asking for. Then generate yoru grounds for appeal. A grounds for appeal is a document which is about 1 page log with bullet poitns stating where the mistake was, how you've corrected it, what you'll be sending to them and why you meet the criteria for a VISA.

You then appeal online or by paper if your prefer, you'll have 28 days from the date of your application collection to do this. After 5 weeks of submitting your appeal, provided your fee has been paid, you will get a notice of pending appeal, where the appeal is sent to the Embassy or BHC in India and they are given 19 weeks to respond.

No not really as im hoping il get a response back before xmas its my birthday in nov so I am wishing help be here for it. Immigration appeals has advised that if they are saying it is being the processed and have given a estimated time then chances are someone is looking at it and it is on the system. Im hoping that they dont refuse after everything
