My client today applied for a spouse visa in May 2012. A refusal was eventually issued in November 2012. The appeal took place today, 14 months after the application and 8 months after the refusal. The hearing took 20 minutes and it was allowed there and then by the judge. It could be another two or three months until the Home Office get around to issuing the visa, I warned.
This is no way to run an immigration system for human beings.

Good for them. But lucky to be able to afford the fees. I am a pensioner and have been separated from my wife since January 2011. No help from my MP and cannot afford the fees so stuck in limbo land!
I am a father been separated from my twin kids 4 years now and only granted leave that wont allow me to bring them over… they where born here left around 2 years they are 6 now what to do
what was your client’s status when the refusal was issued ?I mean the months before the appeal was lodged, was he or she legal or the illegal prior to succeeding at the appeals.
The worst scenario it is, even students who applied PSW Visa are still fighting for it while more than one year has been passed. some of them can not go to homeland even funeral of their parents.
