Hi Everyone,

I submitted my appeal last March 2009 in British Embassy Manila. As stated in a website here, it will take 2 months for the ECM to review the decision the ECO had made. With that span of time, he has the option either to overturn the decision or otherwise would not change the decision the ECO had made and by that time he would submit an appeal bundle to the AIT in UK to have my appeal be heard and that means a longer time for me to wait if that happens. Also, it is not a guarantee that my refusal decision be overturned by the Judge. Who knows, I might be waiting for nothing.

To enlighten you more, I was refused an entry because I just came home last January 2009 and re apply again last March 2009. Their grounds for my refusal was I am not a genuine visitor in the UK. Now, I think after staying in the Phils for 5-6 months from January 7 which is the date I just arrived from the UK is enough? What do you think?

Can anyone give me advice if would it be better for me to apply a fresh application this June or July?

Cheers. xxx
