Some questions on appeals

[@yahoo.co.uk]

Hi

I have a couple of additonal questions which I hope you can help with regards to appeals against settlement visa refusal.

1) Do they usually acknowledge receipt of appeal papers or just contact you once they have processed/reconsidered it? If they do acknowledge, how long does this take?

2) Looking at worse case scenario where she may need to reapply from scratch, can you tell me if the following English certificates will fulfil the new requirements or if she will need to take new tests:

- City & Guilds Entry Level 1 Certificate in International (reading, Writing & Listening) (Preliminary A1)
- City & Guilds Entry Level 1 Certificate in International (Spoken) (Preliminary A1)

3) One additional point they made in the refusal letter was that we need to provide proof of contact and my travel to visit her. I haven't been back since we married in February 2011 (since I was there in November and February and waiting for visa approval before travelling to collect her). If I travel out now, is there any way I can send in copies of my passport to show I have visited her or is the appeal file 'closed' to any additions?

Thanks
