See this extract from a letter sent to ILPA by James Stevens, Director of Appeals, Litigation & Subjects Access Requests Directorate UK Visas & Immigration:
‘Given this higher rate we have decided that we will continue, for the time being, to maintain a dedicated resource to review new evidence and substantiated grounds that are submitted to us. We will do this for all appeals that are listed (e.g. not only those covered by the original review of older cases).
To reflect the broader scope of this facility the e-mail address has been amended. Requests should be sent to: AppealsReconsiderationRequests@homeoffice.gov.uk.
The previous mailbox will be monitored for any other requests and we will route all other requests this system to provide consistency.
Our aim is to consider all such requests and respond within 7 days of receipt, although this will in part depend on volumes and quality of the requests we receive.
Given the requirements to consider, and possibly verify, any documents received along with providing good notice of any withdrawn decisions to HMCTS new evidence should be submitted 6 weeks ahead of hearing wherever possible.
We will provide confirmation of any cases that are withdrawn and arrange for grant of status. Indeed, we have improved our arrangements with decision making areas to identify and implement cases where the decision is withdrawn.
Where decisions are maintained we will narrow any points where possible and the matter will proceed to hearing.’
