My refusal letter says that i dint have priest in my wedding tats it.. We have a law in our place where priest is not mandatory and legal to get married without priest

That's the Acknowledgement of Receipt, verifying that they have received your Notice of Appeal within the required 30 days. The Appeal Record is what is referred to as the Blue Book, and is sent from the Visa Office to IAD, with basically your application, interview notes, and other notes pertaining to their assessment of your application. The Minister's Counsel is who will be trying to prove that they were correct in refusing your application.

You should have already received the refusal letter, stating the reasons they refused your application. Start collecting and organizing evidence that their reasons, and their conclusion, were wrong.

Hi everyone
My lawyer sent request for ADR hearing, today i received a letter saying the application is denied
im so confused ,what i have/can do now ?? whats the next step ?

Hi Emaan3,

My lawyer requested an ADR in February 2016 and it was denied. I got a letter saying that my case can not be fixed in one hour, so they granted a full hearing.

I think you have more time to collect more evidence and prepare your case. I do not know the waiting time in Quebec. In Calgary my waiting time was 11 months for my hearing.

I hope the best for your case.

Is there any way of knowing how long it takes for quebec ?
And now i have to wait for them to contact me for full hearing right ?

Most likely you'll have to provide the entire relationship proof. In the appeal, they can only consider what is in the Appeal record sent to them by the Visa Office. In our case, they did not include any of the relationship proofs that we had included with our application. How did the interview go? Did they stop the interview after they didn't get a satisfactory response about the priest? Did they deem it unnecessary to go into the rest of your relationship after they declared the marriage to be not genuine?

You'll need citations for the law that says a priest is not mandatory in your area, and that a marriage performed without a priest is still legal. And an explanation as to why you broke with tradition, if most marriages are still performed by a priest.

You may want to search this forum using the keyword "priest" and see if anyone else has had a similar issue, and how they resolved it. You may also want to search case law for similar appeals, or maybe find an immigration lawyer that has dealt with similar type refusals in the past.

You'll want to wait until you get the appeal record, but if that is the only reason for refusal, you might be able to get ADR, and be spared the long wait and expense of a full hearing.

It sounds like you already have a good head start. It'll be about 120 days (it took 180 days for us) before you get your BB. Read it carefully and try to address any other concerns they might have documented, then send your evidence in as soon as possible, with a letter requesting ADR. It's for cases that can be resolved in less than one hour, in a more informal setting than a full hearing. From what I've read in this forum, if they need to speak to your partner, then it will have to go to full hearing.

Is there a subject-matter expert that you can call on to sign an affidavit to the effect that a priest is not necessary for a legal marriage, and that in your particular circumstances, a marriage by priest was not practical / possible? It might be good if you could get a priest to do that.

Good luck.

Hey everyone. I am new to this forum. I filled my spousal application in april 2015. My interview was scheduled on august 31, 2016. It went well but i got refusal letter today. My case is complicated as my wife is sponser and it is her second marriage. We submitted all the evidence we had to prove our marriage is 100% genuine. Reason given was that they think our marriage is not genuine. What is the next best step for my case? What should we do to prove our marriage is genuine as we already provided all the evidences, call records, bills and everything. Please help me out.

You're not really giving us much to go on. Did they state the reasons that they think your marriage is not genuine? There must have been some red flags that gave them reasons to not believe that your marriage is genuine. If not, you may have to wait until you get a copy of the Appeal Record (approx 120 days). How much evidence did you submit? What kind of evidence?

The reason they stated is that they were not satisfied with the evidences and interview that our marriage is genuine and if not that marriage could only be done to get PR. Even though interview went very well. We submitted pictures of our engagement ceremony and wedding ceremony in which 400-500 people were gathered, Pictures of our honeymoon, calling records,hotel bills, shopping bills. Will they send us a copy for appeal record? How much time this process could take? What else can we add to prove our marriage is genuine? Because we already submitted all the evidences we had.

You say that your case is complicated. How so? Everything that you've described seems pretty normal. Was your wife's first husband also sponsored?
