Hi,
Introduction : I sponsored my wife for permanent residency in Canada. We were married in March 2011. I filed in Dec 2011 . File goes to New Delhi CIC office in Feb 2012. I go back to India in April 2012 to see my wife. She had a interview in Aug 2012.
Strange things happened to my wife at interview.
1) Visa officer constantly was playing with my wifes passport like moving up and down. This distracted her
2) Visa officer said "This is unacceptable" to any of the information my wife provided.
This brought my wife into nervous breakdown and she could not say what she was suppose to say.
For example when there was a question about why it took us so long to apply to sponsor. She was about to show a court order on her high school certificate which took almost 3-4 months time but she could not because of VO's rude behavior.
She went so low in harassing her by saying,
1) How my parents are educated enough to make money in Canada so that I can live with her in India. And she tells my wife that she has no excuse to prove her point because I was not with her for 1 year after marriage. (India - Canada is that a piece of joke -i need atleast $4000 to go there once). And I did go to India exactly 1 year after my marriage.
2) Visa officer asked her questions like "how much money does her father in law make ?" and then insults her further how she does not know that.
3) Visa officer asks her why did she not go to the main airport where I landed to see me.( In my country India it is not very safe for women to travel very freely at public places. So my wife came to meet me at local railway station where I was about to stay. )
4) Visa officer asks for chat history 7 years old ? (we had 3 years old this was not enough. who would record something that old. )
I know my relationship is genuine. My case is supported strong with 50 photos of honeymoon + wedding + photos with my in laws + her photos with my in laws. We have long distance chat for last 3 years + phone bills for last 2 years for almost every day. We have hotel bills , joint bank a/c , travel tickets, boarding passes, movie tickets , money transfers , gifts reciepts and almost everything to support a real relationship. Since ours was love marriage unlike arranged marriages in India we did it low profile. I could not cover photographer to take all the rituals (saath pheras) that was my only mistake.
Our file got rejected their actual reason was because CIC thinks our relationship is not genuine and it was primarily done for the purpose of coming to Canada.
My question is Should I Re Apply or go for Appeal ?
If I re apply I am wiling to get re-married and do all the rituals . It will be embarrassment in front of guests but I am willing to do it again and get all the rituals covered and photographed. I am willing to stay there for 6-8 months till her file processes. I am canadian citizen so this should not be a problem. This was the only thing missing other then this I had like all the proofs asked on CICs website.
What is your suggestion anyone ?
