Hi Mike, i know the reason that my husband was in australia for 5 years. He was there as a student. we met in 2012 while he was student and i was on my work permit. we were in long distance. after our engagement in India in 2013, he went back to australia and I came back to Canada. for some reason his TR file in australia refused in 2013. we were having plan to settle down in canada and was getting marry within a year. He wanted to stay for a bit in Australia so that he don't have to stay a whole year in India before wedding. and some stupid lawyer friend suggested him to file protection visa(sort of similar to refugee visa). Obviously that visa had to be declined. I wasn't even aware what visa he had applied, but when i found out it was too late. His protection visa declined and he filed to have another review on it. This time i told him to withdraw that file and go back to India. he did that and after 6-7 month i went to India and got married. we applied last year 2015 feb and were sure for a interview.i know it will be hard but will try to go through it. I am pretty sure my husband can clarify that there was a misunderstanding with the refugee visa and protection visa. Just want to know if they are satisfied with the answers how long will they take afterwards plus his medical expired last year in Nov, should he take a fresh one while going on interview
