I never check it. All I know at this point in time is that our file will be processed Feb 2013........this came from my M.P office. I find checking on these things only adds more aggravation to a process that has nearly killed me. The big question for me......how much longer after they start processing in Feb will I have to wait. April will be 4 years for me.

Everyone told me,,it will now be 'fast tracked'. My successful appeal was won August.......fast tracked ? another myth !

It will be in Vancouver, I applied for appeal in May 2012, on Oct 22, I got package of file from CIC, then got letter from R board informing me I have to attend conference call on Dec 13,2012. You can tell me anything as it will be of help as I cannot afford to hire a lawyer. What do I need to prepare. They will call for about 2 hours and it says will discuss the issues and try to make me agree to them, does that mean trying to justify refusal and me agreeing with it. How can I prepare myself.
Thanks

They will discuss the issues with you. The government lawyer will most likely try to justify the refusal. This is your chance to try to justify to them why the appeal should be allowed.
Look at the reasons for the refusal, and try to develop answers or explanations showing why they are not good reasons. Be prepared to talk about the whole length of your relationship and how it developed. Look at your application, the letter from the visa officer, and any CAIPS/FOSS/GCMS notes you have. Make sure you do not contradict anything you said in the application (or have a good reason for doing so). If the notes from the visa officer indicate he/she misunderstood anything said in the interview, be prepared to explain this.
Often the government lawyer will agree the appeal should be allowed. If he or she does not, you should not agree to abandon the appeal. Say you want a full hearing if necessary, because your relationship is genuine.

I would HIGHLY suggest you contact a lawyer or Imm. consultant. Try to make a deal with them. Its too important not to !!!!

I do want to, why would I be searching forums and posting, but I cannot afford, do not want to go in full details, my health is falling apart not necessarily due to this but I may have Parkinson's and I am avoiding having to go on disability before this gets resolved.

We won the appeal on July 20. In September, the visa office sent a letter to my husband asking him to redo his medicals. Then, a couple of weeks later they sent him an email which he has never received because they made a mistake in his email address :( This email was to ask him to send forms and documents. Finally, everything was submitted on November 16 and we have not heard anything since then.

Are the interview notes at least clear? That will show what issues the visa officer had. A lot of the other things are not really necessary for you to understand - mine had pages of codes, but they were mostly things like rating my husband's medical and things like that. the coded things were not usually about the genuineness of our relationship. If there are any codes you'd like to know, post them here and we'll try to figure them out.
It sounds to me like the 2-hour phone interview might be enough to resolve the problems. And if the government lawyer still does not believe you, then they will discuss a hearing date.

Yes interview notes are clear, do you have experience of this call, yes it is going to be 2 hour long, is it possible I might not need to go for full hearing. Can i scan and send you notes somewhere..
