The IO believed my husband is with me to stay in Canada, I think she believed my intentions were genuine but had a problem with him. Ours was a complicated case because my husband was out of status in Canada for 2 years and we had a quick marriage, plus the fact that he comes from a developing...

I'd be really interested to know the details of cases like these since me and my husband had our inland application refused 5 months ago and now we're thinking about reapplying outland from Morocco..we've both been living here for 4 months together. Congrats on your wife's PPR SponsorCanada!! :)

Hi everyone, I applied for my husband's FOSS notes after our refusal 4 months ago, and got them by email today. In the notes at the end of the 40 pages, our IO didn't make any notes about what went on during our 4 hour interview, only about doubts she had from documents sent in with our...

My advice would be get as educated as possible about the whole process (this forum has taught me everything I need to know!) and maybe read some Appeal cases involving Indian sponsorships- just to see how VOs/immigration folk look at things. Having a lawyer/consultant won't make a difference in...

For inland applications both spouses are interviewed, but for outland I think it's just the applicant.

The IO was very sexist actually! When she interviewed my husband separately from me she kept asking him why he accepted that I worked and he sat at home since he comes from a "male dominated culture". I really hope the next VO can see our file with an open mind. I hear that Rabat is a tough...

Maybe the 2 children helped with how the outland VO viewed the file? I know that our next application will have to be prepared in a way that proves the last decision was wrong. Our refusal letter said that my husband was gaining a lot by staying with me, and in the interview the IO kept bringing...

I agree...going into our interview I knew those would be big things. We were both grilled about our quick marriage, and as awful as it was I think it was fair on the part of the IO since our application was so badly prepared by our previous immigration consultant. But ultimately at the end of...

BOOM. Thank you!!

Yes, there is no appeal option for inland sponsorships, but you can apply for judicial review, and if you're successful the refusal is submitted to another IO for reconsideration. We could have applied again inland or outland, I don't think there's a limitation on that, but we decided outland...

If you're from a country that traditionally has very elaborate wedding ceremonies and yours was quick and simple, I foresee this being a big problem for your application. I agree with doljan, you should think about waiting a while before applying to gather evidence of your relationship. You will...

Hi Habibti, I've actually been following your posts on that thread for a very long time- I'm so glad you and your husband got through such a tough time and that you're finally together :) As for the reasons, they all had to do with my husband's study history before we met. The IO told us both...

No, I don't think that's it! Right after we left our interview, the IO told us that we're a young couple but we're very mature, and said she had a good feeling about our application. The next day she called my husband and told him he was a liar who was using me for status because he couldn't...

Thanks Leisa. I really hope things work out for you soon! It's good to know there are other people out there who are in a similar situation. I've looked into tutoring too...Moroccans are really eager to learn English and there's lots of tutoring centers around, but to have a decent job they want...

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've made any posts on here. Me and my Moroccan husband were unfairly refused a visa in early January 2013, so we moved to Morocco, his home country, and we've been here for almost 3 months. Although I had a great full time job, I gave it up to move here and...

Hi everyone! Me and my husband (who is Moroccan) had our inland sponsorship application refused back in January, and we've been living in Morocco for about a month now. I just wondered if anyone on here has done the same thing, and what your experiences are like? So far things are going pretty...

We actually did talk to Bellissimo, but the initial consultation was with one of his consultants. She didn't say it was impossible for us to stay here and challenge the decision. However, after 2 years of being out of status and sitting at home all day, there's is no way I'll make him sit around...

The hardest thing about leaving will be how upset everyone is with me for doing this. Someone I thought was a good friend told me yesterday that she's not surprised my husband was refused because of his work and study history. Over the years I've gotten used to people's disapproval and now I'll...

We already decided long ago that we would go to morocco if this whole thing fell through. I wan to do it, but it's just how fast this is happening and how hard it will be to leave. Staying here would be worse though... I do t know who I'd be anymore if I was alone. There's a pretty high chance...

We're starting to plan out how we'll pack and plan everything and I feel like I'll never be back to get the things I leave behind. But at the same time I've read enough Outland IAD appeals to know that the genuine relationships eventually get through. My parents will go absolutely ballistic but...
