Yes we also had to pay again $490
I called CIC and they told me this fees has been paid. I dont have to pay again. It was just the regular mail they sent out to everyone. I recommend you, after your hubby comes. Ask for refund of one of the payment :)

Hello ladies and gents, hope you're having a good day!

Does anyone have the correct number to get through to the IAD office? I haven't heard anything about when my full hearing will be - or gotten anything in the mail since my ADR was unsuccessful - kind of want to know what is going on and when I should be prepared, if I need to buy a plane ticket, etc. I'm in Edmonton so it is the Vancouver office.

Planning on going back to Cuba for a few months so I want to know what the deal is!

If anyone has not had a successful ADR and then went to a hearing, can you let me know how much time you waited for the date?

Hi everyone,

Since I’ve been getting a lot of information from this thread and now that I have an ADR date (July 30 - YAY!!), I thought I’ll join the postings and share my story in hopes of giving others some hope and support. I live in Calgary and our IAD office is Vancouver. I am preparing for this ADR on my own.

June 2013 First application filed (with help from consultant)
July 2013 Sponsor approved
June 2014 Interview requested
Sep 2014 Attended interview in LA
Oct 2014 Received refusal letter – Appeal filed immediately (without consultant)
Nov 2014 Appeal acknowledged by IAD
Mar 2015 Blue book received from CBSA
May 2015 ADR date scheduled over phone call

According to the bluebook record our red flags were: age difference, education level difference, similar names in the families(??), not being able to pin point “date first met” during our interview, not mentioning each and every family members and the first meetings with them hence providing “inconsistent” and “limited” knowledge on each other during interview. There were no other complications and still they decided our 7-year relationship was not genuine.

Just like anyone else we were very upset about VO’s decision but now understand that it was her job to pick on people off guard. Lawyers/consultants can only do so much about it. Took us some time to realize blaming her won’t get us anywhere so started doing some homework and thanks to all who shared your experiences and advices, I feel a lot better and a lot more confident in prepping for the ADR.

To all of you fighting for your family, whether you’re going on your own or working with a lawyer, be strong and prepare for the worst person. I always wonder if there’s any pleasant Canadian VO who doesn’t try to intimidate couples into contradicting themselves but “genuinely” tries to tell the difference in fake marriages which I think is what they are getting paid for.

Btw to Kistehsia: sounds like we have a lot in common. My hubby is 6 yrs younger than me and my ADR is a day after yours! Hope your prep is going well.

Anyone who recently had an ADR in Calgary please share your thoughts on what to expect! Thanks!!

Brunt my passport since no hopes
Canada immigration is a big joke, bunch of fools sitting above us who is making these decisions. If someone has marriage certificate issued by registrar then they should respect it, It might not be possible for everyone to provide million of proof to prove the relation as everyone is not same. Some couple like to click photos, some like to talk, others don't like.

In my case, Visa office said - you don't have enough photos to prove that you are married, she ignored the marriage certificate which even has our photo together. yes we had only few photos because my wife don't like to get clicked due to her weight issues, why this photo is so important.

People who are applying with fake proofs would be able to click 100000s photos in multiple poses but genuine people will have only few important.

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 decision was mailed to me a few weeks later. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for responding tunisianbride. I had a same judge. Indeed you right that he is very nice man. He gave his decision at the end of hearing for me as well. It's been about 27 calendar days since my hearing. I haven't recd a written decision yet. Could you please tell me after how many days did you receive your written decision letter that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
