Thanks for the replies. Well they have decided to give her a visa now. So that is sorted. It's just a question of how long they take to process it, assuming the notice that it has been allowed arrives about now at the embassy. The reason I didn't re-apply is that the original application was £260, and we were informed that would include the cost of the appeal. Another application would have cost another £500 (prices went up in April 2007). And there was nothing to indicate that a new application would have been any quicker than appealling the first application.
