Lexusgs430:


The last person that won an appeal from this thread, after passport submission. Passport was stamped in 14 days .........

Yes lexusgs430 and my question was if he delays it for 3 weeks before submission,will it cause any issue?

Thanks

Lexusgs430:


If paying twice is not a problem, fine. If not, I am sure they can internally transfer funds and save this hassle.....

Lexusgus430 I haven't paid yet. My question is I bought ticket to go back home in August before the appeal decision came. My ticket is unfundable. Is there a time scale on when they call u to submit ur passport after appeal allow. If he take it now they might issue it earlier and the 30 days will be over. So was thinking of him submitting it on 17th July?? Will that cause any issues?

Thanks

Captainsholly:


Well I sub my passport on 8/06/ and I was called for pick up on 21/06. That's exactly 2 weeks .

Thanks dear

Lexusgs430:


You did not receive a refund of the initial NHIS payment after application rejection?
And they are requesting another payment? Diaris God O..

NB : Your initial payment would have a reference number. Get the sponsor to call and send an email, flagging up the issue.
It would be rectified and you would not have to pay double......


Remember to drop the saved funds for our tithe and offerings...........

Yes lexusgs430, am the sponsor and I called them yesterday but they said we shld pay the new one and they sent me a form to fill to claim for refund.

Captainsholly:
To God I give all glory after a year of settlement application. Thank you God.
@ Lexus ( my guy) and all in this room I picked up my visa this morning and I wish you all awaiting yours a good and pleasant result.
Thank you all. See you soon in Liverpool at Anfield. YNWA

.

Please how long did it take to issue the visa when you took ur passport? Roughly how many week from when you sent the passport and the return. Your response will really be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Lexusgus430, Justwise

Update regarding our appeal. Thanks be to God for all He has done. So Hubby received email today from them saying the decision has been overturned. He should pay the NHIS and submit his passport and TB test to the visa centre. The issue now is, I didn't get a refund of the NHIS up to now. Is there anyway or number I can get hold of them? We have the reference number and the email we recieved to acknowledge the payment.

Thank you

Lexusgs430:


You remember this reply from me ?

I did really remember those words of encouragement from you. I really appreciate it and God bless you.

All Glory to God most High. My hubby appeal was allowed last week. The HO was given 14 days to appeal against the decision which I pray they don't. Thanks so much Lexusgs430, Justwise and everyone.what follows next pls?

Lexusgs430:


That's all you can do, remain hopeful...

That HO caseworker was just a clown. Going to Nigeria, does not mean you went to visit your husband?
It's up to them to prove the contrary, and since they could not convince the Judge...........
Husband should start packing and saying his Goodbye's.....

Thanks for the words of encouragement a big Amen to that. Do you have any idea roughly how long it takes to hear back from them?

Lexusgs430:


What vibe where you getting from the courtroom? What did your barrister tell you?

The judge was calm and she had a smiley face. My barrister said it was good and looking at the way he see things, the judge will allow the appeal but I should pray.

Hello Lexusgs430, Justwise and everyone

Just to update you on my appeal and those waiting for hearing. So my hearing was this morning. There was a representative from the home office (young guy and )my barrister and the Judge was female. Before the judge started the hearing, she said the refusal was based on relationship is not genuine and the case for hearing today should be based on that.

Questions asked by my barrister
1. Did you sign the witness statement and do u want it to be used as evidence?
2. What date did u meet your spouse and why is the date significant in your life?
3. How often do u communicate with your husband?
4. What means do u communicate?


Home office representative question
1. Does your husband work?
2. Why do u send him money?
3. Have u been back home since you got married?
4 . How many times and which month and year?
5. Did u go back home before u got married?
6. How many kids do u have?
7. Do u have kids with your husband?
8. The pics you submitted were they taken on different trips or one occasion?

The Judge turn to ask me questions but she said she has nothing to ask me

So the home office representative and my barrister had to now argue on the case why the appeal should be allowed or not.
The HO representative said mean going back home twice since we got married doesn't really mean I go there to see my husband and also although I have provided means and evidents of all communication doesn't mean is him I communicate with. He also said although there several pics taken doesn't mean I took them on different trips. That's all his argument but my barrister really argued a lot using different acts and references to some cases. Also my daughter wrote a letter to attach to the documents and that one too was raised by my barrister. He really argued very well and the HO guy was sitting looking at him.

The judge then said she has to go through all my bundle as it a huge one(537) pages in all nicely labelled. We will hear from her in weeks.


So expects in the house what do u think the outcome will be? I have faith and my barrister also said I did well by answering the questions truthfully and nicely.

Any idea?


Thanks

Hi everyone

Please am gathering my documents for the appeal hearing.Am a bit confuse regarding my payslips although Hubby's refusal was based on not enough communication printout and I didn't add my travel stamps and also not enough pictures but we sent over 50. My question is, it is ok to send printout of my payslip or I have to get the original one as my lawyer says is just for the court so the print out is ok but I want to know if is true. As Lexusgs430 adviced am sending all documents like new application.

Thanks

PKBXI:
Guys. Good News. I have finally recieved a letter from the tribunals. 3rd May 2017 is my court hearing in Stoke on Trent. Appeal - Feb 2016 Listed - July 2016 Hearing - May 2017 Spouse Visa

Dear PKBXI,
Please can you post the questions after your hearing because you will go before me. Wishing you all the best and good luck,

Thanks so much Luxuags430 and Stillwaiting. The lawyer didn't let me send all the pictures during the initial appeal cus she said it can be lost through the post. I will give them everything as you said like my last oxygen. This lawyers sometimes mmmmm? I wish I knew this site before my initial application. Is for my husband and the wait has been stressful. Please do I need to submit payslip although they didn't say anything about my financial part.

Thank you

Dear All

Sorry I haven't posted on the thread for sometime now. Congratulations to all those who have got their visa and remember to pray for those of us still waiting for our appeal decision.

It been 14 months now since I did my appeal and I have now been listed for court in second week of May 2017 if God permit. @ Stillwaiting, I received same letter as you did and I have started putting things together. Lexusgs430, Justwise, Depti and the rest of the gurus in the house, do we still have the chance of decision overturnung before the court date? We were refuse due to not enough communication, I forgot to add the travel stamps and I sent over 50 pics but they said is not enough. Also I printed 2months of whatsapp chat due to phone damage and 6 months call printout from lycamobile. We applied in July 2015 and was refused in October 2015 but till now, we never got refunded of our NHIS money of £500.




Thanks everyone

Waooooo congratulations Stillwaiting! Am really happy for you.

Good morning everyone

Please when you write a letter to your MP regarding an appeal, do they write to the tribunal or the home office? I contacted my MP regarding my husband's appeal as we were told they really busy and we can't hearing date this year unless next year, meaning it will take over a year. My MP got back to me saying he has contacted the tribunal and they said they will get back to him by 8 weeks. Has anyone done this before and how long did it take? What was the outcome?

Thank you

@ sister2007
Congratulations dear! Am really happy for you. Please when you contacted your MP, did he/she wrote to the tribunal or the HO? And also how long did it take to hear from them? Thanks

Thanks everyone will wait for the hearing date.

@ tenderule

@Banky04

Yes dear am still waiting and is really frustrating as you said but let's continue to wait patiently and pray for good news.

bankyg04:
Hi, any news from your end yet? Pls lemme know if anything.
Thanks


Hi Banky

Our 15weeks ended yesterday and up till now, we haven't heard anything. I called the appeal court but they told me they haven't heard anything from them. My hubby was also refused based on communication printout not enough. I heard they have backlog but will update you if anything comes up and pls try to also update me as well. Thanks

Hi Banky04
Nothing yet is been 2weeks now but still waiting. How abt you?

bankyg04:

Hi, Pls I'm exactly in your shoes at the moment and expect their response by April 13 which must have completed 15weeks wait..pls could you fill me on the feedback and what the next process is as I actually expected the ECM decision overturned considering the fact that my wife was refused based on communication evidence. Thanks

Congratulations to everyone who has been granted their spouse visa. Those of us waiting we celebrate with you all and pray we also share the good news very soon. Appeals take ages and sometimes is better to reapply. We got refused in October and did appeal same month. The court wrote to us in December and gave us 15 weeks which ends coming Tuesday. Am praying we hear good news in Jesus name cus the waiting is killing. Still no refund of NHIS.

@ Portsmouth86

Congratulations dear! Very happy for hubby and you.

@ Jeljay

The NIHS can only be refunded if you will not be given the visa at all. My hubby was refused in October 2015 but we were not refunded the money as he was given an appeal. If you go on their website, it explains it there. It was a minor issue about chats print out not enough, pictures and travel stamps. We have appealed and waiting. The VAF doesn't say refused or granted. We had email with VAF but was refused.

Does anyone know roughly when the ECO response to the court during an appeal. We received a letter from the tribunal saying they have written and send our documents to the ECO and they have until 15th March to let us know the outcome. If they will overturn the decision or we go to court.
Has anyone gone through this process before and how long does it take to hear from them? Thank you

@ Jangolo

I will advice you to print more of the whatsapp chat if you got them. My hubby applied in July this year and we thought it was too much so we printed just two months of the chat, added money transfer receipt and printed the calls we made to each other. He was refused cus they said the chat wasn't enough so the relationship is not genuine. I posted the refusal letter on my page so you can go through. It was just minor things so we have appealed. And with the questions It depends on the person interviewing you. All the questions here came but the funny question he asked my hubby was: Has he had body contact with me before? When was the last time? Hahahaha
