gsize said:ADR= alternative dispute resolution. Usually takes about 6 months. It is up to them to determine if you will get it or full hearing. Full hearing in Toronto will take about 2 years. Then it gets processed again---some in Ottawa and sometimes in original visa office. Your lawyer cannot speed up the process.
Thank you very much! I would like to know that when I recieve the negative decision, rome embassy did not send any thing on the mail only a letter explaining that i got rejected because they did not believe that the marriage is true nothing else but my husband asked a lawyer and he told he told him that it takes 3 months for the reasons from rome embassy to come to toronto to know the specific reasons about the rejection. Do you have any experience please share. why would it takes so long for the reasons to arrive in canada?
