Vinny has already explained via this link. It would be difficult to win an appeal, if you can not show that you had the required amount for the time in question.

BUT having said that, Please make sure that you do appeal as this is your last resort, It will all depend on the Judge. Get some legal help as well if you can.

Hope that helps.

Do you have another account somewhere with some saved monies in it between 13th march and 27th march?

yes we do have overseas account back home

All you need to do in your case, is to show you had more than £1,333 between 13 Mar and 27 Mar. If you have got an overseas bank account which covers this period, you can show it the judge and your appeal would be allowed.

However, you cannot appeal arguing you earn enough to support yourself and your dependant. The only evidence accepted for the purposes of PSW is that specified in appendix C of the immigration rules of points based system. There is not mention about wage slips or certain level of income.

It means if you cannot produce the evidence which shows you had enough funds between 13 and 27 Mar, then, unfortunatelly, your appeal could be dismissed. But for now, keep positive. Try to find the required evidence, appeal and then see what happens.

yesterday our appeal was allowed by the judge.. now my question is, what happen next? how long do i have to wait for the reply from the home office? do anyone has any idea of this.. plz reply me soon

1. If u appeal is allowed then u need to wait for 5 working days if HO wants to appeal gainst this decision.

2. If u do not hear within 5 days then it means that u have won u appeal and HO has accepted the decision.

3. The normal time is between 1 to 3 months and that is normal time plus can be longer than that.

4 There are people on this forum waiting for more than six months and still have not received the letter to send the passports for the visa so please join the queue.

thankx a lot for reply... ash786,

my wife and i waited 4 months before HO requested for our passport after our succesful appeal. this was even after involving our MP to contact the HO.
We were told tht there is just no way of fast tracking this issue.

so bottom line.... u wait buddy!
