May also be questioned on the lock in date of your sponsorship application if you did not submit it soon after you got married. Mine was a few months after we got married because my husband's passport was expired at the time we got married so he had to get a new one and it took some time.
My lawyer said I did well answering my questions. Have to wait for a letter with the decision. When the IAD member asked the minister's councel when he will submit his final notes so that a decision can be made he said that it will be till next month because he is going on vacation
Also he was rushing because he had another hearing that day and say he can't give final remarks as to what he thinks the final decision should be.
