Hi, I had my appeal allowed and understand the Home Office has 5 working days to appeal the decision. By my calculations, we are now into the 6th day but I have been told severally that there's still a chance they can lodge an out of time appeal. My question is if the instruction is 5 days ,which if...

Hello Spidery, The UKBA withdrew the appeal not me. The decision was reconsidered and refused again so given another right of appeal with the FTT. The hearing is in a few days. Hi, has anyone had to appeal a 2nd time, after the initial appeal was withdrawn pending a reconsideration and then the refu...

Hi, has anyone had to appeal a 2nd time, after the initial appeal was withdrawn pending a reconsideration and then the refusal maintained. Also, can an appeal be withdrawn a second time?

I guess there are no takers? I find that hard to believe that no-one has had their case withdrawn courtesy Alvi....

also, as the appeal was withdrawn by the UKBA, how do I get a refund as I probably would have, if the appeal had gone in front of the judge and had been successful

Sarah a, I really pray that it's just a matter of days, rather than weeks or months, as this has been an utter and complete nightmare...our lives have been on hold for the past 9 months so expecting good news this week

Hi, I was refused ILR last year but had right to appeal. On the morning of the appeal last week, the clerk/ receptionist informed my wife and I that the UKBA had withdrawn their decision and would be reconsidering, so the appeal won't go ahead. As there was no representative, they didnt have my cont...

I called the UKBA today after almost 7months since applying for ILR at Croydon via PEO, and the advisor told me that a package has been sent to me but he was either unable to OR didnt want to tell me what was in the package Is this normal that they wont know what is in the package or the decison giv...

I got a call from the CW that same day asking for a letter from my employer stating salary and relevant COP. The letter stated salary but that there was no COP for the company business sector, which un...
