did you write a letter to the ECO manager asking for reconsideration and your reasons why you think you was wrongly refused ?

Yes! It is part of the appeal form. Somehow we wish that it goes directly to the court for a hearing because the Embassy here in Manila is only prolonging our agony. The people at the Tribunal were very helpful and even told my fiancee that they don't see anything wrong why the ECO refused my case.

In addition to this, the ECO also mentioned that we don't have our wedding booked. The problem is the Registrar said that I should be a residence in the UK for 15 days before a wedding can be held. My fiancee just explained our situation and convinced the lady to reserved a wedding on the 12th of September. Even our local MP called the Registrar and said that it is not allowed by Law to book a wedding. The Immigration is confusing us

so your fiance had actually talked to the tribunal? i would have to ask my bf also to phone them. when you said you were told the appeal will 3-6months, was it the tribunal who told you that? does it include the review of decision by the ECM? coz in the email that i received that the ECM given until dec 4 only to make a decision.

The tribunal told my fiancee that it may take until December but they said maybe we can ring the embassy and chase them. I emailed the vfs and said 3-6 months. We also emailed different people who might help us.
I'm so glad that I landed in this forum, let's just update one another from time to time coz they might review our appeal at the same date. Hope that it won't be long now

Does anyone know if it is possible to make an appointment at the British Embassy and ask for any update about an appeal? Or maybe contact the Ambassador to tell his people off?

your bf can do that. you just need to send an authorization letter to the embassy. and then i guess he can demand an answer of such refusal. thats what my bf did. he sent them a message and replied him a standard message and so he sent them a message again obliging them to answer it in a personal approach -case to case basis, and he demanded that it should be coming from the ecm or eco . and we both sent an email to the ambassador. its best to phone the embassy directly than vfs.

He did call the +632 858 220 but it only direct him to another number and he waited for more than 10 minutes (NO ANSWER). Do you know any other number?

We also emailed the ukinthephilippines@fco.gov.uk but they only told him that they forward the email to the embassy. He demand to get an answer straight from the Ambassador and complaint about their service. We are still waiting for their answer. Whilst I don't get any answer from my email to them that's why i decided to ask the vfs coz I am really upset not getting an answer.... Do you know any other way to contact them?
