what does this mean excatly?

[lyndsay89]

i just found this on the UKBA website about the ECM?


On receipt of an appeal, the ECM must review the ECO decision taking into account the grounds of appeal and any additional supporting documentation. Documents supplied at the time of application should be available for consideration if required. The ECM must decide to maintain the ECO decision or concede in light of the grounds of appeal.

Where an appellant provides evidence which appears to discharge the burden of proof and satisfactorily addresses the reasons for refusal the decision should be overturned and a visa issued.



Does this mean if we can show proof on the things they refused people on. they will overturn the decision?

Does this mean if we can show proof on the things they refused people on. they will overturn the decision?

Only if the evidence provided is of something that existed before the decision to refuse. For example:

If you are refused because you did not provide your English test certificate (an exam you passed before you applied) then providing the certificate on appeal with work.

If you are refused because you did not provide your English test certificate but then, after the refusal, take the exam and pass, this will not be accepted because you had not passed the exam at the time of the original decision to refuse the visa.
