@Hopeforallone thanks alot. Yes am tryin 2 avoid going to court b'cos the case is pointless for the ECO and judge to appear in court. I've snapshot photos 4rm facebook of me and my wife since 2009 with date, time and comments. Also updated call logs since the initial application was lodged till date, imessage chat dated 4rm Dec 2012 and also watapp messages since August last year and Emails since 2008. The ECO failed to mention the birthdays and anniversary cards I included at d initial application be4 concluding that the relationship is not genuine. Its a waste of my time. Unnecessary delay. My sponsor is attending the hearing if a hearing date comes alive.

@ Cem - Trust me you do not want to even think about going to court. There are a few people on nairaland who are waiting for the court hearing. Just make sure you provide loads of substantial evidence for the relationship.

@Hopeforallone how long have they been waiting? Well i'm just setting my mind on the worst case scenario. I'm doing my best to provide all the necessary document and counter the points they made under the partner eligibility requirements (genuine relationship) .

@ Cem - well we put our appeal in December and we are just about to go to court this month, my other friend on here is going to court in November and there are a couple of people going to court in January and February 2015. Please try and avoid going to court. I know you will have the list of all the documents you will need to submit based on relationship. It is good to have a lot of patience and aware of this long process, as everyone has learnt for themselves.

Also there is nothing wrong with adding a couple of letters from family and friends stating that they are aware of your relationship since 2009. Just to add some bulk to your appeal.

@ Girlflo thnk you I have done that. why I was worried is because everyone kept sayn i went to vac Lekki and sheffield is not replying me they have stampd the visa since friday but i dont know if they have sent it @Hoperallone I will you a number which you will call to folow up after your court hearing If I knew about this long time maybe i wouldnt have waited this long.

@Shelair - I would appreciate if you could give me that number. So how did you get that number in the first place and who did you call them?

@Hopeforallone thanx a lot for the advise. I'll try my best to get all the documents to avoid going to court. Since the process is so lengthy.

it is d presenting unit officer in manchester that where d determinatin spends most of the time. we had to call them continuously before they moved it to ukba sheffield

@ Shelair- Please can you present me with the number. Thanks

@ Shelair. Please, I need you to give a detail about what happens after the court. Did Tribunal have to tell you directly (email) about the out-come of the Judge decision (determination)?.
My court date is next week friday, and I will like to know, if they're going to inform me directly or inform my representative first.
Thank you.

Once more, congratulations. It is a Victory.

Is it all court cases that go to the presenting unit in Manchester? Or is it just the cases that were heard in Manchester? I want to know this just Incase I need to follow up after my court hearing, but ours is in London.

I wish everyone with a court date soon gdluck

The road has been rough and very bumpy and the journey has indeed been steep and at the DYING moment, when I TRULY believed that ALL hope was LOST.....

HE came through for me.

Today 18th September 2014, I received a second email from Sheffield informing me that the decision to refuse my visa has been OVERTURNED.

House, I thank you all ever so much for EVERYTHING!!!!

I cannot write a list of people who have helped and advised me on NL.... To you all I am grateful..

@Hopeforallone. My immigration lawyer only charged me 640pounds, due to a long term relation, as an old client.
I believe your court date is soon, too.
God will surely fight us and show mercy and favour on our case.

@ will win, I was refused for owing the NHS almost £7,000. And my deadline is tomorrow. 19th September. The lady told us they had a backlog to clear but they have now cleared it

So yes, they overturned it basically in the 19th week.

I would advise anyone doing the appeal to just submit EVERYTHING they asked for and more.

We knew that paying the nhs be alone MAY not have gotten me the overturn so we included my husbands finances again to show that he paid it because he could afford to pay it with no problem.

@ Sunnychic - They will probably overturn yours now because of what IK said. Be optimistic.

@ Shelair - Still waiting for that number?

Good afternoon all, my spouse has received our documents from Sheffield and noticed that some of our documents were not returned even though photocopies were provided. Although I haven't received my passport here in Nigeria. Please could you advise on how to request for these documents? Thank you!

Has the status of your application changed online? If not, they could still be using the missing documents to process your application. It might also be worth sending Sheffield an email, listing your missing items and asking if these will be sent back to you separately.
