We were unable to get my husbands non accompanying dependent a medical exam as his mother refused to do so. His ex partner went to court and got full custody of the child and even sent a letter to IRCC requesting the child be removed from the application. The medical request letter was sent July 24th and on July 30th we sent a web form asking for more time than the deadline as at this point we were having a hard time convincing her but no legal court proceedings had happened yet. Anyways, on September 14th the IRCC officer asked for proof of the custody document. We sent it ASAP and then heard absolutely nothing until this morning. This morning tbe officer sent a letter saying they approve the request to extend time for the medical exam and we have until December 31 or it may be refused with no further consideration. I don’t know what to do, that web form was sent so long ago and we provided the documents that my husband has no custody. Would it be worth hiring a lawyer at this point or what should we do
