Hey again everyone,
The IO changed her mind today. My husband called her this morning to say that I had faxed his 2008/2009 university transcript from my work, and she said that she has reconsidered her decision and would need more proof...basically everything she didn't want to take yesterday.She says that she doesn't believe his intention to get married to me because he loves me, but that he's stayed in a relationship with me for over 2 years to get status. She says she believes we live together, and that I love him, but she thinks he's lying.
The IO told my husband that he lied to her because she asked him when he found out he was colourblind he said 2008 when his optometrist said 2009 (she called the optometrist as well). My husband just didn't remember. We didn't meet until 2010, but she says that his bad marks from 2008 and 2009 are proof that he never wanted to study, and just wanted to find someone to sponsor him for residency (which ended up being me).
I called her today and explained that there's no incentive for him to fake a relationship for status - people want to get residency to have a job and to have money a good lifestyle...and these are all the things my husband left behind in Morocco. If he was to leave now and go back there, he would have a beautiful house, expensive car, nice clothes, and a million dollar inheritance that he can't have access to now. He doesn't face any discrimination in his country, his parents are extremely well off, and he only came here in the first place because getting a diploma is important to his parents and extended family, and Canada was the only place that spoke French. My explanation didn't make a difference. Our plans for the future (having kids, which we told about) financial information, cards and the interview don't matter and she told me that. All she wants if proof of my husband's intention when he came here....it was 4 years ago and there's no way to prove it. We sent everything we could think of in the mail - transcripts that my husband's parents pay our rent, facebook chats, even our original birthday/ anniversary cards that we'll probably never get back (no time for photocopies because she said today was the deadline). She already talked to my husband's father, his optometrist, and my landlord and our neighbour called and left messages which she hasn't returned. I don't know what else to do.
I've accepted that we'll have to leave Canada within the next few months..I'm 99% sure she'll refuse because there's no way for us to prove what my husband was thinking 3-4 years ago, when he was 18, young and stupid.
Thanks for your support everyone... and sorry for the long message. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.
