    Appeal Process

    Hello everybody, my visa was refused last August and it's on appeal right now. Today, I've got an email from the British Embassy in Taguig City. They told me to submit my original passport thru carrier. My question is, is it good news or is it only part of the appeal process? Thanks in advance

    They may want to issue your visa and they can't do it without your passport!

    Can never be 100% sure, but it's possible the Entry clearance manager has overturned the refusal

    Good luck

    Finally after three months of appeal, ECM overtuned the decision. Got my visa today, the best Christmas gift I ever had. To God be the glory

    Congratulations ... I'd a feeling there would be a outcome after reading about the Embassy asking for your original passport and I'm delighted my optimism has since been justified. Merry Christmas!

    Enjoy your new life over there in UK
    Expect significant differences. Do whatever you can to keep busy and minimise potential homesick feelings.
    I'd suggest reviewing and securing a passing certificate for life in UK before you get tied up with any new employment.
    Also, if you don't have B1 level English test then consider that too.

    There are plenty of forum threads on other important things to set up during your first few weeks in UK. Please take time to search for them and review.

    Wow! Congratulations on this news! I may be late but still wishing you all the very best! I have a friend in Manila who is also in the process of appealing for her fiancee visa. Her visa application was refused a few months ago. Will be 6 months in April. She is expecting a positive result in April, so your news brings hope! Thanks for sharing Some people say that it rarely happens that a refusal is overturned.

    Tbh ... ... I think these people are being a bit unnecessarily pessimistic ... because - based on what I've read throughout more than 6 years as a member here - the majority of appellants have consistently had their previous refusals overturned.

    IMO ... the reason why this often turns out to be the case, is primarily because initially *unsuccessful applicants who go to such lengths - coupled with the not inconsiderable added expense involved (appeals are no longer free, plus they can take anything up to 6 months or more to be heard) - in challenging an Entry Clearance Officer's earlier decision, do so due to *their commitment to the belief that an error (or errors) of judgement has/have been made by the ECO who examined their original application. And frequently their patience is rewarded following a thorough re~evaluation of applicants' personal circumstances by an Entry Clearance Manager trained to take account of each contingency on its individual merits.

    That is a positive thing, Arthur Little. Thank you for saying.

    Hopefully, it will be a positive news that we will hear from my friend in April.
