Hi. May I ask where is the office you applied from. I also have an ADR in a couple of weeks. Can you tell me your experience. What they asked. Was it easy. Thanks. Hope you get your visa soon
Hi, We applied in toronto office and our appeal was filed in the same office.
See every case is different and has strong points and weak points. Our was case of not genuine marriage as we married in short time and my mom dad and her dad were not present in marriage. And first we had very short marriage ceremony.
in my case the interviewer raised following concerns:
- my wife came only for 2 weeks to india. and we only have short marriage ceromony and registration marriage. She didnt came again as she didnt had leaves.
- my mom dad and sister are in USA. They were also not present.
-my grand parents, her mom and her graands parents were closet of all relation ther werw present.
-We had small function so definately our album was short and not hi-fi one.
- i married her to move to america and they though i will leave my wife after moving.
So we prepared our case accoridingly as per points mention by them in the blue notes.
so We married again and had grand wedding in which all our family was present.
We didint hire any lawyer as my wife was confident she can win it for us. In ADR they revolve all questions on concerns raised in first interview and points mention in notes. So back all ur point with solid proof for those point. Just show all the proof u can. We send around 800 pics around 400-500 pages of printed skype call, chat details mails and all. Honeymoon pics, our bank details job details, reason why our parents cant make for first wedding and all.
The counsalor was overwhelmed to this during ADR hearing. I would advice if your sponsorship is rejected for not major reason dont waste money in lawyer.
I hope this helps.
You can see my few other past post as well tht might add more on this.
