Wow! Congratulations on this news! I may be late but still wishing you all the very best! I have a friend in Manila who is also in the process of appealing for her fiancee visa. Her visa application was refused a few months ago. Will be 6 months in April. She is expecting a positive result in April, so your news brings hope! Thanks for sharing Some people say that it rarely happens that a refusal is overturned.

Some people say that it rarely happens that a refusal is overturned.

Tbh ... ... I think these people are being a bit unnecessarily pessimistic ... because - based on what I've read throughout more than 6 years as a member here - the majority of appellants have consistently had their previous refusals overturned.

IMO ... the reason why this often turns out to be the case, is primarily because initially *unsuccessful applicants who go to such lengths - coupled with the not inconsiderable added expense involved (appeals are no longer free, plus they can take anything up to 6 months or more to be heard) - in challenging an Entry Clearance Officer's earlier decision, do so due to *their commitment to the belief that an error (or errors) of judgement has/have been made by the ECO who examined their original application. And frequently their patience is rewarded following a thorough re~evaluation of applicants' personal circumstances by an Entry Clearance Manager trained to take account of each contingency on its individual merits.

Hopefully, it will be a positive news that we will hear from my friend in April.

That is a positive thing, Arthur Little. Thank you for saying.
