What happens when an appeal is lodged?
When the AIT has recorded your appeal they will send a Notice of Receipt to the visa section that refused your application. You should enclose all additional supporting documentation with your appeal. When the visa section receives the Notice of Receipt, an Entry Clearance Manager (ECM) will review the decision to refuse your application in light of your Notice of Appeal and any supporting documents. If the ECM is now satisfied that your application meets the Immigration Rules, the original decision may be overturned, and entry clearance issued.
If the ECM does not overturn the decision, an ECO will write a statement to explain why the ECM decided to uphold the decision to refuse your application. This will be sent with all your papers (the appeal bundle) to the AIT. This process can take some time. The appeal bundle will be prepared and sent to the AIT within 20 working days for non-settlement cases and family visit cases. For settlement cases, the papers will be prepared and sent within 60 working days. These timings exclude postage and times to or from the visa section.

as for being a British citizen now, i'm not so sure it would make any difference, but ask them when you phone them.
what is your daughter doing, is she working ? when is she 18 ?
i can't remember why your daughter was refused
well if it goes to a hearing, with a bit of luck the HO will not turn up and your daughters visa will be granted
no shes not working, she turned 18 June 09. the reason why she was refused coz of sole responsibilty and custody issues also ECO think recourse to public funds to maintain her here is possible. My bank statement has no overdraft but had small ending balance when i applied. I sent all docs to AIT Sep 2009 and all the western union receipt from 2006 to present. I am currently in full time job in accounts department and doing AAT at the moment, my husband is a taxi driver and i dont think there is much chance for us to be in dole. Thanks you once again.
