Appeal allowed, Got the Passport Back but...

[jbt]

HI JBT, just want to know, what type of visa did your daughter apply for? how long did the appeal take? can you share the email address you have of the british embassy. I too would like to follow up on my mom's visa also. i have tried the number i saw here of the consular/visa section but my mom spent the entire day trying to no avail.
hope your daughter gets her visa soon....

hello darlamoon,

thank you...my daughter had applied for settlement visa (as my dependant), submitted her application last feb 2009 got refused i guess on march 2009, made an appeal june/july 2009, got a court hearing date last jan 2010 and our appeal was allowed feb 2010..all in all...i guess it took more or less a year for the appeal process and now we're waiting for her visa stamp (hope there is no more problems)...

these are the contact infos. that i have for the visa/appeals team in the UK embassy in the Phils, they do reply in emails but you have to wait for a couple of days and if u do want to follow-up by phone you have to be really, really patient as you have to dial probably hundred times...it will just keep on ringing, u have to try and try until someone answers....
