I asked if my husband could be present and the appeal division told me it was just me, CBSA and appeal minister? Where did you hear sponsored person will be questioned? And how?
I just spoke to my ERO to confirm that they got all documents that I sent and she said yes they got them. I also asked her a few questions and she waa nice enough to offer me some tips and info.
Heres what she said:
- With the ADR, its only the appellant, ministers counsel and the ERO
- 90 percent of the question will be about what the immigration officer put as the reason for turning you down
- its also very important to remember dates and birthdays especially if children are involved
- no witness is required
- you are to bring all original documents
- also bring your current passport and or expired passports that shows travel to your spouse's country.
- when means specific dates (not last week or last month)
-where means specific address (not in brampton or in Toronto but specific address)
- listen carefully as they will ask the same questions in different ways
- members of the ministers counsel seems and look mean but they have to appear that way to flush the dishonest people
- unable to provide information or saying i dont know does not look good to the ministers counsil
- dont be nervous
- bring your copy of your evidence that you submitted to them.
- show up atleast 20-30 mins early if you have to go in for the interview.
Those are the pointers that she was nice enough to share with me.
