FLR (FP) Refused – urgent help plz moderators

[Tier 4]

I got a heart broken news:

My wife FLR (FP) refused with the right of appeal.

My background:
- I have recently obtained ILR on long residence.
- I applied for registration for my UK born child through NCS Edinburgh as well.
- I applied for my Mrs on FLR (FP) because I wasn't able to meet the financial requirements

I have received all the documents of my Mrs back without her passport; including:
IAFT – 1 Appeal form (Deadline for appeal is 8th January 2015):

1. I shall be very thankful if someone kindly tell me how to Appeal to the first tier tribunal, and what's next after first tribunal?

2. Should I just fill the IAFT – 1 Appeal form with the best of my knowledge or get a lawyer?

3. Which is better; Oral hearing / paper hearing?

4. How long does it take?

To be honest my main aim is to pass some time in these appeals and apply for FLR (M) after April 2015 (once I will get the evidence of my and my Mrs self employment earning through HMRC).

5. Can I still be able to apply for FLR (M) while appeal of FLR (FP) under process?
6. Will my mrs FLR (M) application (probably in the month of May 2015) consider a new application or variation?
7. OR should I have to withdraw appeal altogether and apply FLR (M) as a completely new application?

Many thanks.
