WE WON!!! ;D

After 2 years and a week of hell, they finally listened. Our appeal was allowed and the file is going back to Buffalo for reprocessing. The whole thing was surreal, actually. The "Court" was a little conference room where one panel member and Minister's counsel met with Rob. I was asked to leave the room initially and Rob spent about 45 minutes with them, going over the case, answering questions, etc. Then he came and got me and I had to swear to tell the truth. The panel member asked me questions about Rob and I, then Minister's counsel asked me questions about my son - and then the panel member rendered his decision to allow the appeal.

Anyway - I want to personally thank all of you who have stuck with us through the past couple of years and who sent good wishes and prayers in our direction today . Hopefully the final chapter of this saga (reprocessing) will be written quickly and uneventfully, and we can finally start building the life we always dreamt we'd have together.

All my best wishes are going out to you. I cannot even imagine what you have gone through. A few months of this process is enough torture as it is much less 2 years. Wishing you the happiest life together and good luck with the re-processing. ;)

You won one for the little guys. Good on ya, mate.

Did you use a lawyer for the appeal? If not, how did you prepare for the appeal? In hindsight, would you recommend using a lawyer?
