Husband sponsor refused. Need to appeal

[kabisha]

Hi my friends
My husband sponsor was refused because of the police clerance.  I filed an appeal in March.  How long does it take for the first hearing?  do you guys know any good immigration lawyer to handle this case?  If you know let me know guys.  I need ur help.

Also i heard heard that IAD is currently changing the process for allowed appeals reprocessing.  Before, it has been that the successful appeal cases went back to the original visa office for reprocessing but now this pilot project is sending them to a processing centre in Ottawa, ON. 

 

Could you please confirm which one is right?  Could you please tell me the new appeal proccess
