Sponsoring a spouse who was previously rejected

[frege]

Since some time after marriage I shall be returning to Canada and she to New Zealand while we wait for the application to be processed, would it be better that we choose Sydney as visa office as she would be there in New Zealand, or should we choose New Delhi? Which one would be better for our particular situation?

The processing times are similar. For an interview, which seems likely, there is the question of travel.

Sydney has a rejection rate for spouses and partners of 6% versus 17% for New Delhi. However, this could be for legitimate reasons, such as if there are more marriages of convenience from India than from Australia/Oceania.

Hi, did you sponsor your wife and what happened?

I am marrying a Indian girl who has been married twice before. In her first marriage the husband was canadian citizen. The application for sponsoring the spouse was put up very late (almost 2 years). The application was ultimately rejected after an interview. Apparently the visa officer was not convinced of the genuineness of the relationship. At any rate my lady got a legal divorce from the first husband.
After a gap of about 2 years she married again and both of them went to New zealand on student visa. Unfortunately while on a visit back home the husband was killed in a road accident. She suffered a period of grieving and later on after about 8 months she resumed her studies in New zealand. She has been continuing in New Zealand since then. I intend to marry her and then sponsor her to join me in Canada. My query is will her case be rejected because she has been rejected earlier? Keeping in mind that the first marriage(whose application was rejected by Canadian embassy) ended in a divorce and second marriage took place which lasted for around 2 years and ended due to unfortunate death of the second husband.

So your wife finally got the visa? Did she attend an interview?
