Deadline given but requesting embassy for ECM review?

[JS28]

Hi All,

I know the deadline for the ECM is the 27th of August but I have been emailing the embassy and my MP has also emailed them but there is no response and I am not sure whether my emails are going through.

What else can I do to request for the ECM review to put forward so I know whether to go home during holidays or not. I did request for it to be seen by 2nd of July but I have not heard from the embassy. The last email I received says that they will try to process it within 1 month from receipt day but I dunno whether they have received it or no. This was the email

Thank you for your email.

Please be advised that the Entry Clearance Manager cannot review an appeal until we receive confirmation from Immigration and Asylum First-tier Tribunal that the appeal has been accepted and payment has been processed.

The Visa Section aims to process non-settlement cases within 1 month upon receipt. However, this is not a guarantee that all appeals will be reviewed within this timeframe, depending on the volume of appeals received by our office.

The Entry Clearance Manager (ECM) will review the decision to refuse the application in light of the Notice of Appeal and any supporting documents. If the ECM is satisfied that the application meets the Immigration Rules, the original refusal decision may be overturned and entry clearance issued.

If the ECM does not overturn the decision, he/she will write a statement to explain in greater detail the reasons for refusing the visa. This will be sent with all of the appellant’s papers (the appeal bundle) to the First-Tier Tribunal, Immigration and Asylum Chamber (IAFT). The appellant will be notified via email if the appeal will proceed and that the appeal papers have been sent to IAFT.

If the refusal decision has been overturned, we will be contacting the applicant by phone or by email to submit the passport so that the visa can be issued.


Yours sincerely

I hope that Someone can help me out on this.
