Dear,
Here is bit background about my query. I am a British citizen and sponsored my parents over 65 years old living in Pakistan for 'Adult Parents Settlement Visa' during Feb 2014 satisfying all conditions and also the major condition to avail this visa for both of them that is; they are old and having critical medical conditions and can't look after themselves and Medical Certificates for both of them states that they need permanent long term care on regular basis. As they are living along in a complete state of isolation, because their both sons are living in UK and only daughter is married and living with her husband and three children in outskirts of the city they living.
However during mid Oct 2014 we got refusal, and ECO provides reasons that one applicant which is my mother even having medical conditions but still able to perform her routine tasks on her own and so she can also look after her husband (my father) as well, although her husband (2nd applicant, my father) is a critical heart patient and ECO completely satisfied about my father's need for regular family care but as per ECO her wife (1st applicant, my mother) is still able to carry out routine tasks so can also look after him.
We filled an appeal in first week on Nov 2014 against this refusal and last month we got hearing date for 20 Jul 2015, which is after 8 months of filling an appeal.
I want to request to please provide me with your expert opinion that if we request to court to provide hearing date as early as possible based on medical grounds of both applicants (by arranging medical letters stating that patient, applicant 1's medical condition has continued to deteriorate and causes her significant difficulty with her sleeping and has dramatically reduced her ability to look after herself and to do her routine tasks on regular basis and making her very vulnerable.
{She is a known patient of hypertension and Hyperuricemia. She is also suffering from chronic Knee and Ankle joints pain and muscle stiffness since Dec 2013. She is on Triple oral antihypertensive drugs but her blood pressure is still uncontrolled, her medical condition has gone worse over time and is not subject to recuperation. She now presents frequently with complains of vertigo, severe headaches and vomiting due to high blood pressure and also has difficulty to walk and perform daily tasks due to muscle stiffness and joints pain.}
By presenting such medical letter to expedite the case to get an early hearing date for our case, will it have any negative effect on the case or not? As someone has told us that by presenting such critical illness will give an impression that applicants will be burden on NHS as they having very critical medical conditions and will immediately pursue NHS services. So better to wait for hearing as normal in Jul 2015 rather than pushing it to get early.
Please based on above reasons can you please advise what course of action we should take, that is whether to expedite the case by requesting early hearing date based on above reasons or NOT? Please help. Many Thanks!
Kind Regards!
