Hi I want u ask that I just received letter from tribunal and say that my hearing date on 28th November

.now what I do I have ready for new application doccument .I should wait our submit new application

Plz advice me

johnwray:
Not sure this is the right thread - forum member pls provide guidance

Worth having a bash at admin review. Try and keep your argument strong but short - just a page long counter statement will do (no further evidence docs). just make references to the docs submitted earlier.

Issue to tackle - "Applicant was considered unsettled" due to 1) lack of ties and 2) financial circumstance. Number 1) you can easily get away with but 2) is a little tricky because ECO got it right somehow. I would concentrate more on 2) and play the human right card very well. God bless

Hi There helpfull nairalanders,
I require some urgent info, I intend requesting a administrative reveiew on behalf of an Inlaw, i feel some confidence after digesting the ECOs guidance on general visitors(http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CD4QFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk%2Fsitecontent%2Fdocuments%2Fpolicyandlaw%2Fmodernised%2Fvisiting%2Fgeneral-visitor.pdf%3Fview%3DBinary&ei=Pvg2Uq6qBsfStQaS6oCwDw&usg=AFQjCNF2Wi7xgDHKTkwlMKcQk_eaBCuusQ&bvm=bv.52164340,d.Yms) that i may be able to highlight some points that need to be readressed.
The original Form was submitted at the Visa centre in IKEJA, can anybody out there please supply me the email address to which this reveiew is to be sent. on the refusal papers there is no address sugested for sending in a reveiew i guess because the reveiew is supposed to be for the points based system. Also can any body give me the adress for where the reveiew can be submitted by hand. The 28 day dealine is this wednesday so i really require this info A.S.A.P. The review form suggests that the form can be sent by email, fax, post or handed in. Thank you in advance

@halle 26. i am just new on this forum please my deadline is also 4th of Oct please how did you expedite your appeal.please kindly inform me because i cant wait to be with my husband.

@ JOHNWRAY

any update about your cousin's application and how long did it take for her passport to be returned?

justwise: [/b]

Sorry to say this but that your friend is ignorant, there is no need at all to get a new passport, you will still get a visa to other countries even with the UK visa refusal, simply be honest with all your visa applications and keep your immigration record clear from any form of malpractices

@Justwise thanks for this.

bunita11218: @halle 26. i am just new on this forum please my deadline is also 4th of Oct please how did you expedite your appeal.please kindly inform me because i cant wait to be with my husband.

At this stage in the process I would have thought that your case has either or is due to be shortly reviewed by the ECM. Have you emailed the Sheffield office to find out if they have an update on your case?

Hello every one.
I need ur candid advise. I applied for tier 5 visa and was refused with the excuse that the COS I submitted wiv my application is invalid. I ve applied for an administrative review, which was delivered in sheffield since on the 27th of august 2013. Since then I ve nt heard anything from them. My question now is do I contact them to ask for the progress of the review or just wait till the 28 days is complete? Pls if I am to contact them, wht mail address of phone no do I use? Many thanks as I look forward to ur reply.

I have heard that there are some cases where the ECM will overturn the refusal even after they've made the initial assessment that the case should go to court. I can only imagine this would happen in cases where they have not reviewed the evidence they have received fairly or if the applicant can clearly determine that their decision is in breech of immigration law/policy. The UKBA have been mandated to decrease the number of cases overturned by the court so if it is clear that they won't win a case then they may make a decision to overturn before it gets to court. Im not sure that submitting additional documents would cause them to change their decision as these should generally be submitted as part of the court case. It would probably be better if you could prove that they should reconsider their decision based on the information they've already received.

Tel numbers: +234 (1) 2619537 or 2619531 or 2619541 (telephone numbers were taken from this forum early on so they may have changed)

Trusting God that you'll get the answers you're looking for.

Girlfio- good morning!

Please kindly explain further on the point you raised that " The UKBA have been mandated to decrease the number of cases overturned by the court" I tried checking on Google - no luck - Does this mean the UKBA wants the Judge to overturn less cases or that they want less cases to be sent to court for further hearing?

Thanks girl!.

Girlfio- good morning!

Thanks girl!.

Hi missjiji. It costs the UKBA to take a case to court. That is the reason why they have the ECM review the case before it gets to that stage. They want to see judges overturn less cases because then this will justify their additional spend. This doesn't mean that they want to see less cases get sent to court, they just want to be sure of a win. This means that as long as you provide strong evidence to support your eligibility for the visa you are less likely to have your case sent to court, its not in their interests to do that. Unfortunately this is not always the case but the hope is that the vast majority of us that meet the requirements and can support our refusals with documentary evidences should not expect the case to progress through the court system.

Please help me....this is extremely recent if you are reading this september 21 2013.....I applied for ireland visa was rejected ....then I did the appeal....then after several weeks ....I got a mail saying I was called but didn't pick up the phone ....its just a visting visa ...is there hope for me....pls

I appealed about 8 weeks ago...and I just got the email on the 17th saying that I should come to abuja to collect my documents....they didn't say anything about passport....please I have missed my family all of them for 6 years ...have been schooling alone in nigeria...the email also read all efforts to reach applicant failed....please a have not slept since then .....what can I do.....see what nigeria has caused oo...nepa

I'm guessing that you made an application for a family visit visa. In which case I expect the appeal was sent to the Abuja office for consideration. The best thing to do at this stage would be to first collect your documents, I expect that along with your papers there should be a summary of their response to your submitted appeal. If you only get your documents back and no indication of the outcome of your appeal then you can send an email to the Abuja office requesting an update.
