I am sorry to hear your news. When you lost in interview did they immediately tell you? Or by letter?
Oh this was immediate. This guy already knew he was gonna fail me. I figured it out immediately, simply by the questions he was initially asking at the beginning of the interview, and my own questions to him about minor important details, to which replied "I'm sorry I haven't looked over all the evidence."
Like, REALLY? I was about to ask him how in the world does a visa officer AVOID the gigantic stack of evidence HE asked for, plus the stack from last year (which he had to admit to not looking over either.) He only read through our letters, and that's pretty much it. That and the general application information. Black and white. No gray allowed LOL. In other words, he coulda been a decent man and sent me a darn refusal letter long ago, and saved us the hassle of this expensive ass trip to Vienna, and not force me to come in just to tell me that he hasn't looked at any evidence, despite the fact that the evidence was heavily flooded with info as to WHY my husband could not visit me...
BUT, oddly enough, I think he knows that he has no shot at winning the appeal process. We're the winners in that one. It's as clear as day and he outed himself a few times, which my husband will bring up in court.
An officer SHOULD NOT personify spousal relationships based ON HIS OWN RELATIONSHIP, which he did! He said his own wife would, and i quote, 'KILL' him, if he didn't visit her often... YOU DON'T DO THAT! Each case and each couple is an individual entity, with individual customs, rights, feelings, situations, etc. Making something so personal and basing other peoples relationships around his own ideals is NOT correct in such scenarios. Leave that to couples counseling, buddy. You're an immigration officer, you should be NEUTRAL. Leave your personal crap at home.
He said, and i quote, "If your husband cared for you, he would have risked it (losing his job + being stranded) to see you!"
NOW THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE, for an officer to state such a stupid remark. If my husband lost his job, we'd have lost the case because he'd have no way to 'sponsor' me.
(someone on here recently lost because their wife, who has a job, has 2 dependents under her... and CIC stated that she cannot sponsor the husband because of that supposedly... or something like that... skimmed through it.)
And the next fun fact from mister officer: "I'm sure his bosses would understand if he got stranded in Europe for a couple of weeks extra, or longer. It's a nice area of the world to be stuck in!"
Yeah, officer! Nice for someone with your paycheck and stature! WONDERFUL, EXPENSIVE AREA! You wanna pay our bills, sir?
(holy crap i paid 7 euros for a cup of coffee today.... don't judge me.... lol)
Otherwise, considering all the other 5000 pages of bank records, skype, email, gifts, cards, facebook messages/pic, pictures, wedding, etc evidence... he said ALL THAT WAS FINE AND WE HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH.
BUT the fact that my husband, who has been waiting to renew his pr card a year now (due to CIC mistakes, literally) is being called a fraud, is disgusting. How dare he say my husband, who bends over backward to keep my happy, fed, safe, and sane, supposedly doesn't love me because WE didn't want to risk him losing his job?
Please tell me, am I out of my mind with this rant? Have we really done something so horrific to have this happen to us?
We are taking him to court asap. I told the officer that, without pardon, and that his negative thoughts and decisions will not break our marriage apart, if that was his goal.
What a piece of work.
