ALL SPOUSE APPEAL CASES COME HERE AND JOIN US PLZ

[mexicanada]

I can appreciate that many relationships are questioned due to all the fraud in the past (and continues today) The issue I have is wait times once there is a rejection. 2 years + for an appeal is not acceptable. All that needs to be done is hire more VO's and add the cost to landing fees, therfore, not affecting the Canadian taxpayer. I just heard yesterday that Immigration Minister is trying to fast track backlogs. I assume (I hate that word) that means my case.

Yes! Let's hope that means your case. I would love to be a fly on the wall just to see what is going on behind Immigration's closed doors. Hmmmm.... We would be either more annoyed or more understanding but atleast we would know how it all works. lol

Hey Guys... New here...wanted to share my story...

My Husband's immigration spousal visa was rejected August 2012. My name is Sonam, I am a Canadian born citizen and am 20 years old. I am a student (3rd year nursing student) and hold a position with the government Justice Department. I got married to the love of my life on December 17, 2011 and sponsored my husband on January 19, 2012.

My husband and I have known each other approximately 4 yrs now. We first met at my sister's marriage back home in India. My elder sister is married to my husband's elder brother. They have been married for 3 yrs now and have a 15month old child together. My husband had tried for a Canadian student visa 2 times previously as he had intensions to study abroad and also wanted to be closer to me. Unfortunately both times he was rejected and ended up coming to London, UK to study. Something to note is he applied with the same documents with which he applied to Canada and received his visa within 15 days. He proposed on his birthday in October 2011, and we decided to get married over Christmas when i had holidays from school in December 2011. My Husband is still in London on a student visa, and completing his studies.

We had an interview at Delhi high commission in India. The interview was just ridiculous. The visa officer was more concerned with my sister's marriage then mine and my husbands. The questions were nothing related to our relationship. Being canadian born i felt as if the visa officer was not able to understand english, and clearly had that "indian thinking." In the interview i felt as if there was internal racism and sexual discrimination. I believe he couldn't understand the fact that i a canadian women married a man from India. After 15 days, we received a heart breaking refusal letter that stated our relationship was not genuine.

I stayed with my husband in India till September 2012, and then returned due to my classes starting. My husband also returned to London, UK for his 2nd year of studies. I have now hired an immigration consultant to help me in my case. I just recently came back from spending Christmas and New yeas with my husband in London. My younger brother also went with me this time.

these are the main facts

1) Both me and my husband were 19 at the time of marriage- we belong to same caste, class, and background
2) we had court marriage- just me and my husband- family couldn't attend as his parents needed visa, and they have a business, my parents- it was christmas season- they work in stores, hard to get time off. My sister and brother-in-law- just had baby, and bought new house. Also the plan was to have a party here in my hometown in Canada (parents have lived her 30 yrs)
3) We are both studying- im 4th yr nursing student and he is now 3rd yr Business Management student
4) In June 2012 we both bought house together in my hometown- during time of interview visa officer did not look at our documents
5) Marriage rejected on base we were not genuine
6) My husbands Student visa rejections for canada

Our appeal will take place in Vancouver. We received the notes from the interview, but have not been informed to whether or not it is full hearing or ADL.

Also, the MP for my region is a good family friend. She had contacted the ministers office. Hoping for an ADL and a faster appeal.

Any advice would be appriciated.

Recently i have been feeling very down, and depressed.. This waiting is getting harder and harder...

So sorry to read. My appeal will be in Vancouver also. I hope you get your appeal soon, win and get your hubby here xoxoxo

the good news is: the wait times for Vancouver are fast (unlike Toronto and elsewhere) The vast majority of appeals are allowed. You will be reunited soon enough. Try to be patient and try to keep busy ! Make sure you keep all phone logs, emails, etc to show them it is genuine and ongoing. Most important....Never give up !

Hi gsize sorry to be on this thread but need and answer from you regarding gathering more evidence on ongoing and continued marriage/ relationship with hubby. Do I need to put hubby's emails and texts into English from Spanish for my appeal or just print them off to show the proof?Does the IAD and the minister's counsel require each a copy plus my lawyer? I have also supporting letters from family and friends. Going to see hubby soon and can't wait. I will see an Immi lawyer the day after I get home from visiting hubby. I should bring a copies of the caips notes, refusal letter of my hubby and notice of appeal acknowledgment letter from the IAD to the lawyer perhaps? Also the representitive form for the lawyer to fill out for the IAD? Minister's counsel as well? Thankyou xoxoxo :-*

Yes, this is what we did. We got letters from friends and family to support our case.

The minister's counsel will ask you questions. Be prepared as it is quite tough. After 4 hours, I got out of there completely drained. Especially he denied us at the end of the session... until he changed his mind one month later!

you initially applied before October 2012. so you need not to worry about conditional PR thing
goodluck with appeal

 

[Mrs BB]

Today I received a copy of my husband's file from the Appeal Board. It is sad to say that the VO took all our wedding pics and put only three on my husband's file. Wow! My husband is not even aware of a some of the info that was in the file. It is so sad and I really think that lady has issues with men. Can anyone tell me what next? Can I file the rest
of my documents with the appeal board.
