Must have been successful if she graduated!

A common fallicy of logic. Just because two events are related, doesn’t necessarily mean that one caused the other.

If, as mom’s username indicates, her daughter completed NAPS and was not offered an appointment until after she had appealed, then the appeal was successful.

If she was a new candidate who was denied appointment, appealed, and the following year after reapplying, was offered the appointment, perhaps the appeal had absolutely no influence on the appointment.

There are a dozen possible scenarios between the above two examples, all showing varying relationships of cause and effect, some more than others.
