To appeal or to reapply?

have the lawyers disclosed the grounds they would appeal? there are categories to fit into. based on my vague recollection of pre-law courses a non-criminal case is decided based on a balance of probabilities (you need to win 50% +1 of the argument) I would get more info from the lawyers and also get any info you can on past precedents. under the current lottery program (10% odds) you could wait 10 years for another shot so at least digging into getting more info on the appeal odds is worthwhile. get as info much info as possible to do the math on both odds and make the informed decision.

Two more cases where the appeal was allowed, both from 2017:

The appeals were heard in 2017, but if you notice the apps were from 2010 or so when income rules for parents sponsorship were more flexible.

Would be interesting if any successful appeals after new rules started (so from apps submitted 2014 and later).

Hello guys your input will be greatly appreciated: I need your help!!

I sponsored my parents in 2014 and last week I got a letter that my application is refused due to low income in 2010
With an option to appeal I meet all the income requirement from 2011 until now so I was wondering if it’s worth it to appeal since I meet all the income requirement from 2011-2016 but just not 2010?

Is there sky chance of winning this appeal?

I consulted 2 lawyers and they said yes however I don’t know if I should or it’s s waste of time


Pls help guys???

Thank you so
Much!!!!

Hi,I will advise you to re-apply based on experience. It will be a waste of time if the appeal is not successful.No lawyer will ever say- you are not going to win.Most lawyers are after the thousands of dollars they will collect from you.Your appeal will pass through several stages before decision is made.If it favours you,fine! But if otherwise re-application is still the last option.My friend,I will advise you to re-apply and make sure things are put in order.

The second case specifically states the following:

[13] On January 1, 2014, section 133(1)(j)(i) of the Regulations was amended to increase the MNI by 30 percent for the sponsorship of parents and grandparents.

[14] Since appeals before the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) are hearings de novo, and the appellant does not have rights accrued to him under the pre-amendment provisions of MNI during the application process, it follows that the financial admissibility provision applicable at the time of this appeal is MNI plus 30 percent for the preceding consecutive three years.

The case was filed in 2010 but it seems that appeals are considered 'de novo' and as such the changes made in 2014 were taken into consideration!
 
Thank you so much for the responses guys


I found an appeal for an application filled in 2014 and did not meet 2010 income and the sponsor argued that the income to be considered should be from 2011 to 2013 and not 2010-2012 coz that’s not 3years preceding dare is application it was allowed but the sponsor did not meet 2923 income

However in my case I meet all income just except 2010 income so I should be allowed for reconsideration for 2011 2012 and 2013 based on this case

No it's not that easy, you need to have a very compelling H&C case and convince the appeals judge of why you should be allowed to have the rules overturned for your income qualifying. What exactly is your H&C reason?

For every case you read that a H&C reason (like best interest of child, no support for a single parent in home country, etc) was accepted, you will find many more denied the appeal.

Don’t waste your time with an appeal.....you didn’t meet LICO for one of the years prior to your applying. You were refused correctly. The requirement is specific and not flexible. There is nothing to appeal and if you do you it will most likely result in your appeal being dismissed.
