I have made an appeal for my Little girl(9 years) who was refused settlememt visa to join me.On the grounds that her mother's concernt was not seeked when the application was made even though I had clearly explained in the application that my daughter have been living with her paternal grand parent since she was two when the mother brought her that she could cope looking after her.The mother has since not been in touch and all attempt to trace her has failed.
Just received a letter that the visa section have refused to reply to the tribunal with the necessary document explaining their decision to refuse her the visa.

Does this mean they dont have a case to answer?? Please help.Thanks

No, it means they are very lazy.

Did you get legal assistance? You will be given a court date soon.

Very lazy but possibly helpful to your case as there is caselaw which indicates that they can't rely on evidence that they've not put forward to the Tribunal (though they often produce the documents late or on the day of the hearing).

Cases involving children can be notoriously difficult. I assume you're the child's birth mother?

Thanks all for  your response.Just got a letter today and the tribunal has given the embassy further 8 weeks to response again.
Should that be the case? and what happens to the documents i submitted that was not return should they not respond again?
Thanks

Again, consider getting legal assistance with this.

Thanks Vic will consider that as the financial burden at the time of the appeal didnt allow me to.

If you'd like me to take a look at things I'd be happy to.
