Hello everyone,
My hearing was almost 5 months ago and I have not received the decision yet. I already know the decision is positive because the board member read the decision at the end of the hearing, but I have not received the acceptance letter in the mail and it is taking that long. Any similar cases? Thanks!

Hi there,

I suggest you call the court (IRB). I remember after my hearing and before I received my NOD I called them by phone to ask, and the lady told me it was sent to you yesterday, in your case they might look why is it not yet sent, or it could be sent to a wrong address.
Make sure you have your UCI number to give it to them when you call.

Best wishes.

Thanks Maktabi for your response. How long did it take you to receive the NOD? I mean the period between your hearing and receiving NOD.

Yes I did, they keep telling me to wait because the are busy with the high number of refugee cases. Are you in the same boat?

I learnt a copy of the hearing audio will be translated and given to the claimant if decision is positive. But if decision is negative can the decision letter also take over a month to be sent too?
