Marc, thanks. I notice you sayThe ECM who reviews the case is based at the Embassy in Manila. If he upholds the refusal he then returns a photo copied bundle to Leicester who then forward this on to you together with the date of your hearing.
Its then upto you if you decide to seek professional advice.
However would it not be better to get legal advice and help with filling in the appeal form before the 28 days are up first?Its then upto you if you decide to seek professional advice
Marc, when you submitted your appeal form did you accompany it with all of the original documents you submitted with the Visa application? or photocopies of all the original documents? Did you also send in additional evidence other than what was in you original application?
Did you apply for Anonymity? if so do you think its a good idea?
If you have a representative acting on your behalf does your fiancée/spouse need to sign the appeal form or anything like that?
