Uk Appeal Hearing

[uaelaelil]

Well we have just got a date for my wifes settlement appeal hearing.

So come the 23rd of April ill be at my wifes appeal.

Anyone know what I can expect from the hearing ? etc what happens, will we get a final answer on the date etc ?

So far its taken 4.5 months to finaly get a date, The British embassy was given 4 months to send all there information to the AIT which amazing they havent done yet when we sent our appeal in we only got 1 month I think it was.

Any info would be great or if someone has gone through the whole appeal process what experience have you had etc.

See The appeal hearing and Frequently Asked Questions.

I assume that you have arranged suitable representation.

Irrelevant post trivialising the OP's situation deleted, plus a post responding to it.

Uael, best of luck with the appeal. Hopefully you will be successful and that this will set a precedent so that in the future couples in your position do not have to go through this.

I have not been through this but my closest friend has,and won, and, it was with quite a messy immigration history (from his wife).

i wouldnt worry unduly ,it really all starts again now and you will likely find the judge more balanced (and friendly) than your encounters with the embassy so far.

I hope you have good/experienced representation this is crucial ! my friend used a specialist immigration barrister as well as solicitor for the court appearance and believed it was worth every penney. The home office rep was ill-prepared and somewhat flustered and the barrister just took her case apart.My friend said that he ended up almost sorry for the poor girl !

The entire focus of the (female) judge seemed to be on the relationship evidence and she was much less concerned about the rule breaches, this I gather seems to be the normal pattern. The killer evidence (all agreed ) was the testimony from his mother on the strength of the relationship, who is going to disbelieve a mother! . But his own testimony and cross-examination was also v important.

I gather you get the written judgement some weeks later, but your solicitor should have a pretty good idea how it went on the day.

Good Luck
