Another update.........
Well, I got email notification from the British Embassy on the 19th April stating that they had received my letter and additional documents (on the 18th) and these had been passed to the ECM for consideration.
Giving that the embassy is closed for Filipino and British public/bank holidays, I calculate that it's now been 19 business/working days since the ECM received my correspondance.
I'm starting to feel rather frustrated that my gf and i have not heard anything since then. I feel that 19 working days is surely adequate time to reconsider the our application.
In the mean time, we have submitted an official appeal (had to be done within 28 days of original visa decision).
Regarding that, I recieved an email stating that the embassy had received the appeal papers and the ECM would look at the appeal papers, including the enclosed additional documents and woulde re-consider our case and the original decision may be reversed without going through the full appeal process.
Again we have heard nothing at all..............
I'm surprised it's taking so long to get a response as I'd read on this site that in similar situations, people had had replies back in about 9 days or so.
We are both feeling totally powerless and in limbo at the moment!!!
