Question about Paper Appeal

[irfan99]

Hi

I have post a question earlier regarding my friend situation anyways,
My friend application had been refused for FLRO DL to remain and he has been served with the IS151A form.

My friend cannot afford to pay anymore money to his solicitor therefore he is Appealing on his own, he will lodge the appeal by Wednesday, as he is appealing on his own as he believe that it should be good idea to go with Paper appeal instead of Oral hearing.

Can someone please tell us how does the paper appeal works, how long does it usually takes to get the decision.

Plus my friend is planning to put an application for EEA2 as an unmarried partner by next week.

Would there be any issue to put another application while the Appeal is under process ?

Please give some advise.

Many thanks in advance.

Irfan.
