Hopeforallone: @ Dunique - what did your solicitor say?

DUNIQUE1:
My partner earns more than the required amount, the issue is that we left out some payslips and that has been included with the appeal, my initial application was refused on the basis that my relationship wasn't genuine and that they are not satisfied with my partners earning because some documents were missing, I wasn't suppose to be part of the people on hold because they already included the financial requirement in my initial refusal, so this new email is either a duplicate or they are just being lazy as usual, but I am confident I meet all the requirement, so I just need to clarify that with them.

sunnychic: @DUNIQUE, I got that same mail. The do nothing.

@ justwise we will contact them during this week. We got the letter on Fri.

@hopeforallone they claimed not to see some documents sent in with my application. P60 and some pay slips and employers letters. Which we sent. So we sent them with the appeal

DUNIQUE1:
@ Sunnychic, when did you send in your appeal? I guess mine is going court cause it was that stupid email I got instead of them updating me about my appeal. 19 weeks deadline is gone now!

I AM NT THEREFORE SATIFIED THAT THERE ARE SERIOUS AND COMPELLING FAMILY OR OTHER CONSIDERATION WHICH MAKE YOUR EXCLUSION UNDESIRABLE.

sunnychic: They didn't update us too. Just sent that revised do-nothing email.

We sent our appeal sometime in Jan. So u cn imagine getting a February date. Its the height of unfairness if u ask me.

DUNIQUE1:
@ Sunnychic, I also sent my appeal in January and they took money in February, so have they given you a court date to be February or what are you saying exactly about the unfairness. Sorry to bother you! Cause they haven't said anything about my appeal, it's just that email I got.

sunnychic: What I said is that the visa office hasn't replied my mail but the tribunal sent a February date. But they said the visa office hasn't contacted them.

DUNIQUE1:
So you got that date from tribunal? what did you do to get the date? Cause I may have to do the same instead of waiting on these miserable people.

sunnychic: I didn't do anything. They just sent it but we didn't know cos my husband is here in naija.

sunnychic: I didn't do anything. They just sent it but we didn't know cos my husband is here in naija.

Hopeforallone: All this was declared in the first application. Well we are going to court in September so they probably will not overturn it.

Thanks anyway

@ Hopeforall,

Your partners deadline was sometime in June/July I believe, and you sadly got referred to court in September.

So this was within 2-3 months you got a court date? Please confirm if I'm correct.

I think I've read a forum mate whose just got a court date for February next year- (I.e approx. 7 months after the 19 week expiry date.)

I'm just curious to confirm which one it is- 8-12 weeks or 6-7months?!

Lasmab: I'm saying this, to let you know that you're not alone. All we need is "patience". Whether we like it or not, this is a "waiting game" and UKBA doesn't care, we can only beat ourselves.
To all my brothers and sisters, Please, it isn't easy at all, but we need to be patience and continue pray. It doesn't matter about how long it takes, but the positive outcome is the best. God bless you all.

DUNIQUE1:

This is exactly what is worrying me aswell, for Hopeforallone, the court date is fair enough but for sunnychic, that is way out of order! We can't sit here and let all these people run our lives like we are animals, I believe if we don't meet the requirement, none of us will be stupid enough to waste over 1200 pounds just on visa fees and then other expenses like printing out documents, solicitor charges and I even had to pay accountant fees. If they will give someone 7months court date after a 19 weeks wait already, then they must be having a laugh. Something has to be done cause this isn't funny anymore.

DUNIQUE1:

I get your point about they run the show, but a little pressure can be put on them by creating a social network page and get people to support and like the page, I know some racist British citizen will come and make stupid comments, but in the end, I say if we meet the requirements, we shouldn't be treated like we don't.

Ikato3540:


I can't believe this.

I can foresee that the home office would now refuse to overturn as many cases as possible even where it is so GLARING that they've made a mistake.

Just to make it a lot longer, a lot more difficult, a lot more stressful, and much more frustrating.

I've done some quick research and discovered that the the HO has around 12 weeks to send the appeal bundle to the tribunal, after that period the tribunal has 56 days (sometimes slightly more) to set a hearing date.

So I gather this means in the case of a backlog, after 19 weeks, the HO then have 12 further weeks to send the appeal bundle?

Something like Approx 7.5 months?!

It's a VERY long process which unfortunately isn't justified a lot of the time. Sad part is that it's going to be a brief court session and that's it.

After ( if there's a positive outcome) then you begin the final lap of the chase for the Spouse visa.

Which is the chase up of UKBA to call for the passport.

So let's just basically, to cut a long horrific story short.

say that once an initial visa is refused, just go to sleep and wake up 18 months later!

It's very bad- I can't believe it.

I really can't believe it.

shelair1: @Dunique1 the tibunal usually snds a date for court hearing around the 19 week even if thehome office has not responded. They also let d home office know so they can send a representative. if d homeoffice has not looked into ur case before d hearin date they might look in and overturn d case before then. JUST pray

Social network ko; social media ni.

I think they really need to give YOU that visa sharp sharp!!! This delay isn't doing you ANY good at all.

See us expressing anger and frustration, then you come up with "social media" volcabulary?!

Bruv, I need to include you in my prayers.

Lol....


P.S what more can we do? As Lasmab pointed out rightly, we are all not alone. Some of us hibernate for a while then come here to exhibit the impact of this process (ie moments of madness)

Most important thing to know is that SURELY ONE DAY, all this NONSENSE would end.

We would come back to NL and watch the next batch of applicants face the music, and then would we remember the time....

Don't worry. There is HOPE FOR ALL.

IJN! AMEN!!!!

DUNIQUE1:


@ Shelair1, my 19 weeks deadline finished on the 19 July which is some days ago, do you reckon if I get my partner to call up the tribunal now, that there will be a date set already for my case, just that they are yet to send me a confirmation of that.
Can someone please send me the Contact details for the tribunal, so I can speak to them now. Thanks
