Hi everyone, I've posted previously in this forum about how my appeal was successful and the decision on my application was overturned. I was asked to submit my passport by the home office and have received my passport today without a vignette. I'm confused why this has happened because the home off...

Thankyou for this info!! Was yours on an appeal too? Of you dnt mind me asking Yeah, my appeal (here is my full timeline) was allowed on 5 March and I had to wait for 14 days to see if the Home Office appeals against it. But then everything got shut and if was difficult to get updates for a while. ...

Oh, thats good at least you know what the delay is and once they open they’ll give tell you to submit your passport. Has your solicitor said when they should be opening? Thankyou! Inshallah I'd suggest looking out for the latest updates on @VFSGlobal on Twitter :) They've been doing a phased reopen...

Hi

This is great news! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing.

I hope the next steps are quick and painless too.

Will keep an eye on your post for updates!

Hi,

Thank you

Will keep this post updated with my progress!

All the best to you!

Thank you for sharing. I will be following your updates for getting the visa. Least now you know you are waiting for positive outcome. Hoping for positive outcome for you too :) I just hope the Home Office does not appeal now. I don't think they will given that they didn't even care to submit the b...

Hello everyone, My appeal has been allowed. I thought it would be helpful for a lot of people out there to post my whole experience and timeline here as I have done everything by myself with a lot of help from this forum. Below is the complete timeline of the lengthy process: Type of visa applied fo...

Oh yes please do share! Must feel like you have overcome a huge obstacle and now can finally begin to start a new chapter in your life. I can't even describe the feeling. I always knew my appeal was unnecessary, could have been resolved before a long time if the Home Office did not have such a big ...

Hi BordersDivide and ANKST.

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

Hi Fififadi, yes my appeal hearing was on 12 February. The Home Office did not submit their bundle until the end. I can make a separate post with my timeline if it's helpful?

Hi,
My appeal was allowed yesterday. Thought I'd update everyone!

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. That's a bummer. I wonder why they have done it. I still haven't got any update i...

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! Yes, 15 weeks are definitely over. They haven't said anything clearly in t...

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 ...

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 a...

Yes witness statements are requested and any additional documents/bundle to also be provided. Solicitor has suggested to go in with everything so evidence is present at time of hearing. Also, as my spouse is aboard the solicitor suggested using video link for the hearing so my spouse can be present...

Thought I’d update you. I got my letter for hearing 2 days ago - which surprised me as I did anticipate it coming much later. On the letter, it says that the bundle is still outstanding and will need to be provided 5 days before the hearing. - this was just a tick box on the letter indicating what’...

Hello, Im in East Midlands, and the hearing is in Nottingham - about 30 miles from me. I did wonder if I got a quicker date not being located in London or other busy cities? I was also given option to submit new application but appeal is more suitable route for us as it’s a human rights case. I wan...

In my case, they ignored financial documents. My refusal was solely based on the fact that I didn't submit a couple of documents but that is because I was specifically told via customer service phone call and email that the ECO would request any missing documents from me when required. We all know t...

Here’s another issue regarding home office dropping in a ‘surprise’ bundle - what about the costs I would have paid to a lawyer. If they could still reverse the decision, then I would have hired a lawyer and they would be ready so I would be throwing away money. Also, it’s just the uncertainty... t...

Hi My Spouce visa case was refused in summer this year. Submitted appeal via lawyer. Got letter from court about procedure and copy of letter they sent to home office requesting bundle 22 November 2019 -deadline for home office to submit bundle. I rang the court and they confirmed no response provi...

Thanks CR001,

Yes, I just wanted to confirm. We can get married before that though, can't we?

I have also lodged an appeal but the Home Office still hasn't given their reconsideration decision yet. They only have 1 week before they need to. Is it usually how late they respond to cases?

Hello everyone, My fiancé (British national) has been a business owner for approximately 9 months. He is going to be employed full-time soon and close his business before he starts his job. We plan to get married and apply for a spouse visa next year. Do we have to wait to apply for a visa before my...

It was. Isn't it the same one required for the fiancee visa?
