Whats next after EEA Appeal Sent

[Isaac2212]

What happens next?

You appeal will be accepted when the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) (FTTIAC) receives your payment. The FTTIAC will then notify the visa office that refused your application, by sending them a notice of receipt.

An entry clearance manager (ECM) at the visa office will review our decision to refuse your application, in light of your appeal form and any supporting documents that you have sent. If the ECM is satisfied that your application meets the Immigration Rules, they may overturn our original decision and issue you with a visa or entry clearance.

If the ECM does not overturn the decision, an entry clearance officer (ECO) will write a statement explaining why the ECM has upheld the decision to refuse your application. We will send this and all your papers (known as 'the appeal bundle') to the FTTIAC. We will prepare and send your appeal bundle within:

20 working days for non-settlement and family visitor cases; or
90 working days for settlement cases.

These timings exclude postage times to and from the visa office.

The FTTIAC will:

list your appeal for hearing;
send copies of all the relevant papers (including the ECO's written statement) and supporting documents to us and to your representative or sponsor; and
advise you of the date and time of your hearing. We have no control over when your appeal will be heard.


I copied this from the UKBA website i will like to know if there are people out there that had their case over turn without having to go through the tribunal??
