Dear Omee,
Its strange and really shocking news for you, but just wondering are you sure you got a refusal letter? or they only sent you a request for additional docs? As far as i know once an application has reached a VO, the VO shouldn't deny a case outright. I mean, they should have at least asked you to provide what they require and not just simply reject a case without even asking the availability of once credential!!
Correct me if i am wrong but that is my understanding as to the essence of having our files checked by CIC prior to forwarding it to respective VO's.
In that case, if it is a refusal letter - I guess its just right to make a dispute regarding this matter.
This is really quite disturbing....i'm worried.. ??? ??? :-\ :-\
