Appeal hearing date set.

[mike1]

At last I have received the paperwork through and our date of appeal hearing has been set for 12th september 2012.
Having read the Entry clearance managers review of the case I am increasingly convinced that they have thrown half our supporting documents in the bin.
He says that whilst we have provided Skype logs to indicate there is some evidence of a relationship we have provided no photographs or my passport to prove we have ever met.
He then goes on to mention that it is not credible that my wife would want to leave her child behind in the circumstances.
Firstly we provided them with plenty of photographs including photographs of our wedding day.
Secondly he says we havent included my passport and yet attached to the bundle of documents for the appeal that they have just sent me is a clear copy of my passport which shows entry and exit to philippines together with my visa......This is crazy.
I'm not feeling to brave now that judgement day is approaching so I propose to seek some professional help next week.

We had a sucessful appeal with the help of V.S two months ago ,the issue was dependency of family member on myself . I myself thought they never looked at the application properly as the proof was there .Since then they never have got in touch with us _over 2 months ago- what a farce Best of luck with the appeal

Yes I phoned their offices today and had an encouraging conversation with them. I am dropping my paperwork off tomorrow. I found the conversation today and the fact that they were not at all shocked by our treatment encouraging. According to them 75% of all refusals are overturned on appeal.
Mike are you saying that despite winning your case 2 months ago you have still not received the visa.
