sara, i was speaking to an immigration agent yesterday, he told me, chances of someone being rejected for spousal sponsorship is the same as getting hit by lightning lol, he said its impossible , they cant reject spousal , especially after an interview, he said in 10 years he worked for cic 10 people got rejected, they appealed and got their visa in 2 weeks! i just thought to share this to ease the stress for you, its going to be fine, its just part of the job, every once in a while they randomly pick someone , just be confident and youll be fine
