I had an interpreter in my full hearing and won. It's much more important that the applicant understand what's being asked, then to worry about what affect it might have. One of the biggest reasons we were refused was because they didn't believe my husband could speak English well enough to...

Can't remember exactly how long everything took, but we won our appeal on Feb.21/13 with the decision being made right after the hearing. I didn't hear anything for about 3 months (except we got the decision letter maybe about 6 wks. after we won), so I got my lawyer to call the IAD to find out...

This is the federal government remember, and they're not known for their efficiency or expediency in getting things done. I won my appeal in Feb. '13 and it only showed up on CANLII about a month ago!

Re: ALL SPOUSE APPEAL CASES CHOME HERE AND JOIN US PLZ The judge works out of Ottawa and my appeal was in Toronto, so instead of having him travel from Ottawa to Toronto, he presided over the appeal hearing via Skype, I believe, on a huge television screen at the front of the room. I had to...

Re: ALL SPOUSE APPEAL CASES CHOME HERE AND JOIN US PLZ I'm sorry, but I can't remember exactly how long it took, but it was about a month. You should get it soon.

Re: ALL SPOUSE APPEAL CASES CHOME HERE AND JOIN US PLZ I had a video conference with judge from Ottawa in Toronto during my appeal in February, 2013. His name was Benjamin Dolin. Very nice man! He made his decision at the end of the hearing, but this isn't always the case. My written...

I wouldn't worry too much - I was told by my lawyer at the time of my appeal, that I should only submit additional proof, not anything that I had already submitted.

Any proof of communication, trips to Cuba, and all other proof of a genuine relationship since refusal, or the date since your last proof was submitted, should be submitted for your ADR. All documents must me translated in either English or French. Maybe someone else can help answer your other...

From what I understand, the file has to be returned to the Visa Office for final processing. In my case, IAD in Toronto, didn't send my file for over 3 months after I won my appeal-I think someone forgot to send it. It wasn't until I had my lawyer call them, that they finally sent it to Ottawa...

Wow! That was sure fast! Congratulations! I knew you would win! ;D Inshallah you will get your Visa in record time as well! Best of luck to you & your hubby for a long and happy future. :)

The IAD is correct! Your lawyer shouldn't be charging you anything for the final steps. I used a lawyer as well for my appeal, and after winning, my lawyer didn't do anything. Ottawa sent me the medical, police check, etc. to me directly, which I then sent to my husband for completion. After...

I think no one answered you, because no one knows the answer. My case was finalized thru Ottawa and my husband received his visa within one week after Ottawa received our new medical, police check, etc. but this is Ottawa, not London. Every office and every case has different timelines. I...

Hi Harry. I won my full hearing last February 25th, and come June, we still hadn't heard anything from Ottawa. I called my lawyer, who in turn, called the IAD office in Toronto, to find out that the file was still there. Someone forgot to send it off to Ottawa, apparently. However, after my...

I think the reason you cannot find your case on CanLii is because it's not on there yet. All appeal cases 'eventually' get on there, but this is the government we're talking about - maybe the strike had something to do with it, I don't know, but they're not only incompetent, but they are soooo...

Congratulations Sagar! So happy for you! :D

I'm sorry, but re-applying will probably result in another refusal, unless you have new evidence, and not just more of the same - something like a new baby, but still the chances of winning after losing appeal, are very slim.

I'm sorry Jack, but once you lose your appeal, there isn't much more you can do, accept to apply for a Judicial Review, which has to be filed 15 days after appeal date. Only your lawyer can do this, and it's a very limited process with not a high success rate.

Congratulations! ;D I know how happy you feel because I too have been fighting to get my hubby here since 2009, and he will finally be here with me in about 4 weeks! Hamdullah!!! All the best to you both! Stay happy.... :D

Sometimes, but usually if they're not satisfied, they will just refuse the applicant.

I think you want the tel. number for IAD Vancouver. You can call them and ask for scheduling dept. 'if' you can get thru at either of these 2 numbers. I'm giving you a fax if you want to fax them too. Telephone: 604-666-5946 or 1-866-787-7472 Fax: 604-666-3043 (ID, RPD, IAD)
