Yes, they return 5th Of September.........

How long is this hold ? If you could answer this question, I would tell you how long this hold is ..... How long is a piece of string ?

Unfortunately, its a waiting game. If the appeal route is your best route, expect an 18 month - 20 months waiting period...........

No we didn't enlist the help of a lawyer when making the initial application.

Accommodation is fine however I've had to move back to mothers 5 bedroom house.....got lonely and depressed living alone in a 2 bed flat without the husband. Mother is happy to provide accommodation for application if need be.

I'm happy to reapply asap but lawyer is reluctant due to the current dispute at hand but how would I know when the ban has been lifted?
Just heard that the MPs are currently on vacation and won't be back to work till September to enlisting their help is no good at the moment. I'm just tired of the charades of it all.
By the way, Thanks for hearing me out.............really appreciate you.

Very very true

Did you initiate the services of the Lawyer, during your application process initially ?

You have already covered your face, in the errors you initially made. And it looks like you have made serious corrections to amend.

Accommodation situation covered well ?


NB : All applications (normal & priority) are currently experiencing very long wait periods........

Appeals would even face much longer waiting periods, in comparison to fresh applications. Hence my advice. Appeal would definitely be a cheaper option, its entirely your call how long you are prepared to wait for......

Lexusgs430:



If i was handling your brief, i would advice you to withdraw the appeal and reapply ( subject to certain terms).....
Reapplication is a more expensive approach, only if the rejection was based on lack of application preparation on your part.
Which brings me to my last question,why was the application refused ? And have you made adjustments?

I'm honestly in same shoes as you, I don't know if you remember me. We received a letter from tribunal allowing our appeal on May 23rd and till date the HO hasn't communicated to us. I mailed my MP regarding this yesterday. Congrats on your success and I use your hubby as a point of contact to my wife.





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
