Hi!

Firstly i would like to say sorry for the late reply. I will reply tomorrow morning.

sarj

your absolutely right! At this stage the ECO can be laid back by delaying things or they just have too much refusal statements to write up! No wonder why so many appeals, most appeals are successful!!!!

@ore123

In my opinion you have a very good chance, Remember to write all facts that can help you in the hearing at court. ( do mention in your letter explaining the error problems on your passport in detail.) As i see the ECO is highlighting that fact!

example history of visits to the UK. Returning back to your country on time etc,

Hi!
Further information on appeal and hearing process,

regards sarj


What happens when an appeal is lodged?
When the AIT has recorded your appeal they will send a Notice of Receipt to the visa section that refused your application. You should enclose all additional supporting documentation with your appeal. When the visa section receives the Notice of Receipt, an Entry Clearance Manager (ECM) will review the decision to refuse your application in light of your Notice of Appeal and any supporting documents. If the ECM is now satisfied that your application meets the Immigration Rules, the original decision may be overturned, and entry clearance issued.

If the ECM does not overturn the decision, an ECO will write a statement to explain why the ECM decided to uphold the decision to refuse your application. This will be sent with all your papers (the appeal bundle) to the AIT. This process can take some time. The appeal bundle will be prepared and sent to the AIT within 20 working days for non-settlement cases and family visit cases. For settlement cases, the papers will be prepared and sent within 60 working days. These timings exclude postage and times to or from the visa section.
Back to questions

What does the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT) do?
The AIT will list your appeal for hearing and send copies of all the relevant papers, including the ECO’s written statement, and supporting documents to the Home Office and to your representative or sponsor.

An Immigration Judge will hear your appeal in the UK. When considering an appeal, the Immigration Judge will look at all the evidence sent in by your representative, as well as by the Entry Clearance Officer. The judge will determine your appeal on the individual details of your case in line with the Immigration Rules.

The Immigration Judge has 10 days after the hearing to inform the AIT of his or her decision. The AIT will then forward that decision to everyone involved.

If your appeal is allowed, the determination will be sent to the relevant visa section who will in turn contact you. It can take up to six weeks for allowed determinations to reach visas sections, although in the majority of cases it will be significantly less. Please do not therefore contact them before that time.

@awoll hi!


yes you are on the right track. As you said the hearing is next month who is attending court on your behalf? if the matter is straight forward then its ok unless ECO has serious comments then you may want to seek legal advise. Just ask you sponsor to seek advise from CAB (Citizens Advise Bureau) in the town they live. Its free!!!!! They specialize in immigration law. Here below is the information you requested.


ALL THE BEST!!!!!


The appeal hearing

You will be notified in writing of the date, time and place of your appeal hearing(s) with a guide to the hearing centre and directions where your appeal is to be heard. If you live outside the United Kingdom the hearing will take place in your absence.

Please arrive at the hearing centre at least 20 minutes before your hearing and give your name to the staff at reception. They will answer any questions and show you to the waiting area. If you need to leave the building at any time please tell a member of staff first.

Your appeal will be listed with other cases and you may have to wait for your hearing to start. Your court clerk will keep you informed about how long you may have to wait. They will take you into the hearing room when the judge/panel is ready to hear your appeal.

One or more legally qualified persons called immigration judges, sometimes sitting with non legal members of the tribunal, will decide whether your appeal should be allowed or dismissed.

In the hearing room with you will be:

The immigration judge or judges / non legal members (if any)
Your representative (if any)
The Home Office presenting officer
An interpreter (if you have asked for one)
Witnesses (when they are called, if any)
Members of the public (if any)

@ore123

Ur most welcome!!!!

ps let me know the outcome,

well jojomatrix, I understand your point. How many times will he repeat doing this? life isn't a game,
In my previous job i worked as a supervisor onboard in belgium. I saw alot of people trying to get across but at the end they are mostly caught. I have even seen people jumping off thinking they would reach the port of dover. Sadly they drowned. I only was giving my opinion. Good luck to the gentleman!!!!!!!

ORE123 I have sent you information about the appeals procedure to your email . Read carefully the section (APPEALS INF 19) remember to send it directly registered post to AIT. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

yes i admit life is a struggle. There are proper channels to come over. My advise is to approach the embassy in your home country.!!!!!!

Dear friends

Please could someone advise me how long does an
appeal process takes?

thks
