Appeal or new application

[sexyspice]

Sorry to repost this but I didnt get a reply >

The scenario is that my partner and I are older adults we have children in their 20s, my youngest boys are 18 and 20 this year (not his children). We applied common law because we are both newly divorced, myself I had been separated for almost 14 years but just got divorced prior to starting the sponsorship, myself and my partner, the sponsor have been together in a relationship for about 6 years, and lived together for 2 years, problem is proof of cohabitation is hard to come by on the island because I have owned my house for almost 15 years alone, and all my bills etc come in my name, my partner hardly received mail here and the houses dont have street numbers so immigration questioned that and didnt believe me, so our mail just says the village and the parish.

Based on the age of my boys, should I appeal or should I reapply.

We have valid Visa's and would like to attend my daughter's wedding in Aug. See any issues with this?

Timeline was actually quite fast, applied June 2011, aor Sept 2011, Interview request Dec 2011 I received an interview in Jan 7 2012 and the interview went bad as she wanted more proof of our common law status and we are unable to provide additional proof, what should be my next step.

My partner (sponsor) is currently in Toronto seeking medical attention and I was hoping to be there ti support him.

In the end, only you can decide what to do. In your shoes, I would appeal the decision, as what you have appears to be a lack of evidence. The time leading up to the appeal will allow for you to address those deficiencies.

The border agents don't have to let you in, even with a valid visa, but realistically they almost always do. I would go. Bring proof of your ties to your country - return tickets, bank account, house deed, proof of enrollment in school for the children, letter from your boss giving you time off, etc.

If you are both legally divorced, that is nothing that stops you from getting married now in which case you will not have to prove that you are living together. If your partner is not getting any mail to your house, it is hard to prove that he lives there, isn't it?

Your boys are still considered dependent children as long as they are under 22 when you apply and not married or living in common law relationships themselves. Even if the application drags on, their age is locked in but they can still not get married until they are PR's.

If we dont appeal and get married later this summer, how do I request my right of landing fees back

It will be refunded to your sponsor, since the application was refused and you have not appealed that refusal.

Strictly speaking, you have no grounds to appeal because you missed the deadline you were given but you can try it none the less. If the visa officier is in a happy mood, they may let you slide. Otherwise, you have to apply again. Having missed a deadline for something on your first application will not affect any future applications.

thanks for your reply leon,
when or if i reapply again do i have to make any reference to previous application or give any kind of reasons as to why i was refuse...

Yes, on the forms there are questions about whether you have applied before or been refused, and you will have to answer 'yes', then explain why.
