I would say hire a good lawyer. For my ADR my lawyer charge $4500. And I made frequent visits. Also made other country tour. Lots of documents and lots of pictures will help. Also check the site Gango posted. That will help you to prepare your case. If you need my lawyer info, let me know. Best of luck!

They understand nd try to make me happy but really m so depressed. I can't live without my hubby.

I think I met him at my ADR, he is about 65-70yrs. I heard good about him, he is a good lawyer. You should try to bargain the price with him. Cause he charged you a lot for ADR and still you lost. When I was searching for a lawyer most of them charge $2500 for ADR.
I'm sorry for what you going through. I'm pregnant and everyday I just think how much long I've to wait. I don't understand why they don't think how much single parent has to suffer when spouse is not around. I wish your husband come soon. Best of luck!
 
Thank you Mrs. Malek

Hello Everyone, I have a simple question if someone may please answer. I am preparing everything for ADR/Appeal (which I have no date for yet) Appeal received Sept. 17th 2014 and Blue Book received Dec.28th 2014. Now my question is when I go to send in everything, do I send the many many pages of chat logs or do I bring the those the day of ADR/Appeal. Thank you kindly.

you have to collect evidences as much as you can and after you make all the documents together, you have to make 3 sets of them and make ready to send when they give you an ADR or a full hearing date and also they'll mention you before when you should send them ... good luck

Thank you Mrs. Malek and Gango ... I have over 2000 pages of chat am I supposed to send that many? Seems like that's bit much... Maybe I should send just some of them and bring the rest at time of ADR/Appeal? Your thoughts please and thank you.... I have made 3 copies of everything else including all phone logs.... I have created folder with index and itemized and numbered each document. Again thank you for the advice.

I have about the same amount of chat pages. My consultant asked for them all. She will be "re-structuring" our case (as she said). I will let you know if she decided to keep them all.

Like Gango said ... you should gather all the evidence you can. Anything that proves you speak to your husband every day goes to support your relationship is genuine.

No matter what ... you need to print 3 copies of everything. If you only send 200 pages of chat then that is all the ADR will consider.
 
Thank you Wintersnow .... Guess I better get started on copies lol... That will be one huge pile of paper!!! Also went to Dubai to see hubby in February and have all the evidence, pictures etc. Going back again July 15th. Have purchased ticket already... Gets expensive so have to do this appeal without lawyer as I need to be able to see my hubby, having very hard time being away from him .... My sister will be attending the ADR/Appeal with me. Again thanks everyone for the good advice.

dear i'm so sorry for your situation and its so unfair that the lawyer is asking for another 4500=tax from you. see,,, they dont get the responsible of anything and he took 6500 for taking care of your case and he couldnt win it too thats why i'm telling everybody all the time to go through the case which have already gone through the ADR and full hearing and get details from them ... bcoz your lawyer can advice you and stand for your self but always we have to do the home work and like collect evidences, proofs the lawyer cant do them ... so, canlii canlii canlii this is the best option i always give everybody.... nobody can be success by just sitting but by hard working so, read this thread from the very first post and i did it... i got many experiences from other people ... every person cannot give everybody a very long explanation so, some times you dont get answers as you desire so, you have to follow then you will be success dont worry you can do it,,,, try harder work harder this is a very big examination the visa officers or ministers counsel are the examiners and the panel is the person who go through your results and give you the credits or your defeat certificate or muggins
so dont give up dont let them win... good luck...!!

dont worry send as much as you can my husband said that some body came with 3 baggages of proofs for a full hearing or for an ADR :D
try to make more pictures with hubby and with all of your families & friends together ....... try to explain all the pictures on every and each paper ...
 
Sorry to be such a bother. But I have another question, how long does it usually take to be notified of an ADR/Appeal date after receiving blue book? It has been almost 4 months, and I am working with Vancouver office, but ARR/Appeal will be in Calgary. Thank you
