Speeding offence appeal England

Hello, I have received a speeding fine, was caught doing 53mph in a 30mph and under New drivers act I have received 6 points and £700 fine which led to my license being revoked. I have had a solicitor apply for an appeal as I need it for my work, going through a divorce and have nobody to rely on (friends or family), I am also studying in my last year and the university is 1 hour away, I live in a remote location with very limited public transport links, I have 2 questions, first do I have any chances to receive a ban and maybe 3-5 points (even 50 days ban) if I asked for that and how long does it usually take for the case to be re-opened? The appeal has been filed yesterday and I am wondering when should I expect for my case to be re-opened. Thank you
