Doesn’t mean anything unless your lawyer indicated otherwise.
Ok thanksDoesn’t mean anything unless your lawyer indicated otherwise.

Yes typically. Not getting a decision on the day of the hearing means very little. Some members never give results at the hearing. Your lawyer, who attended the hearing, would be the best person to ask about how the hearing went and why they want to make another submission.
My friend had same things. 2 days ago. He passed.Duruşmamı yaptım ve üye 15 dakika bekleyin, 15 dakika sonra kararı açıklayacağım dedi. Ancak avukatım yazılı bir savunma sunmak istediğini söyledi. Ardından üye, savunmayı sunsanız bile kararı bir hafta içinde açıklayacağım dedi. Bu ne anlama geliyor?

If a lawyer wants to submit extra material that is typically because of a concern based on the member’s questioning. Do you know what material they are going to submit? Context matters in this situation so your lawyer would be the only one who could really give you a realistic interpretation of how the hearing went, why they wanted to submit more material, etc. Assume they may have at least given you some feedback on your claim in general and how they felt the hearing went. They are the best person to answer any questions you have. I do understand that if a legal aid lawyer you may not be able to reach them. With the limited information we have nobody can predict the outcome. As I previously said some members never give out results at hearings but that doesn’t mean they don’t approve cases. Your lawyer may have wanted to be very cautious and submit more material versus get a decision at the hearing. We just don’t know.

Do you have any idea how much time it take to schedule your hearing after completing your front end security screening .I had my hearing and the member said take 15 minutes I will announce the decision after 15 mins. But my lawyer said he wants to submit some written submission. After that the member said I will announce the decision in a week even if you put that submission. What that means?
Ok thanks
Lawyers often have a sixth sense about these things. My thought is that he probably wasn’t completely comfortable with how a few of your responses came across and didn’t want to risk an on-the-spot decision. By doing this, he’s giving the board member more time and additional evidence to support your claim.Ok thanks
If you can, try reaching out to get his opinion on how the hearing went and what extra submissions he plans to make.
In my case, my hearing lasted about three hours. Afterward, the board member told my counsel not to ask any further questions. My lawyer said that was a good sign—because my responses were consistent, honest, and based on genuine personal experiences and 4 months later, I received a positive Notice of Decision. Stay positive—things might be moving in your favor. All the best!

I have no idea. It depends on case to case. But less complex cases get hearings in 18 months to 2 years.Do you have any idea how much time it take to schedule your hearing after completing your front end security screening .
But the member said I will give you decision in a week even if you delay your submission.
Would not count on a week if an extra submission is made. A week is fast even when there is no extra submission. The lawyer has to submit the extra material, the member has to review it and then send the NOD all while doing other work. It is fairly normal for most people to get their NOD in the month after their hearing but it can also take up to months as the other poster explained.
