What happens after a Notice of Pending Appeal (AIT 11) has been sent?
Your appeal is then stored until we receive the evidence from the Respondent on which they have based their decision. This documentation is often referred to as the ‘bundle’. In most cases, you will not hear from us during this period. Soon after the date shown on the Notice of Pending Appeal (AIT 11), has passed your representative if you have one or your sponsor will receive a copy of that documentation. You, your representative if you have one or your sponsor will receive written notice of the date and venue for your hearing. Your appeal is stored by us until this evidence gathering is complete. Once we have received the bundle we aim to list your appeal for hearing at the next available date after a 8 week submission period if you are a family visitor and 8 weeks later for other cases. This submission period is given to allow you or your representative to prepare your appeal and to discuss your case. You will be informed of the date and venue of your appeal hearing in writing.
