If you don't proceed with the application anyway (sponsorship refusal question)

[nyssa]

Just wondering... I know the benefit to proceeding with the application even if the sponsor is denied is the right to appeal. However, if you check the other option of abandoning the application, isn't it basically the same thing (if not quicker?) Appeals take about a year, yes (not too sure on that one)? And if you have your application returned to you, essentially you could just fix it up and send it right back out if it's easy enough, right? Or will your newly sent out application be haunted by the old rejected one (is that the entire issue?) It just kind of occured to me that there doesn't seem to be too much of a difference there. Any thoughts?

I agree with you. I always saw it as the faster route.
Like you will get most of your money with the refund and the quicker you can correct your problem and resend in another application the sooner you can be with your partner.
That is just my input on it.

yeah, plus I think that if you appeal and and lose there, that s it that judgement will be final and the person sponsored won t be ever able to apply to immigrate to Canada


lawyer explained it the way you pretty much described it to me...

It is interesting, isn't it? For awhile I was completely set on having it go through anyway, and now I'm just not so sure. It's not even about the money so much as it's about ownership of the application (I guess you'd call it?)

try to think positive.
as for me I would prefer to stat the application all over again as appeal take almost 2 year and still no guarantee that one wins.
but it can take up to 6 months to have another application to be finalized - dependent of the visa office timelines.

Nyssa, why are you worrying about it being rejected at this point?

I suppose I'm not really... well, I used to be. My husband's past history (non-existant) and lack of an Option C printout (no taxes paid, not living in Canada) may make things tricky... well... I'm sure they won't now. I recieved a lot of help/responses on the forum awhile back reassuring me that since he's the sponsor, his past doesn't matter (no criminal record, no bankruptcy or social assistance). But you never know. The thought just came to mind yesterday as I was reading through a few posts where this topic was coming up and figured I'd throw it out there and see what other people thought about it.

I agree that his non-existent background is irrelevant as the sponsor but, if you were to withdraw the application what then? He immigrate instead of you?

This process is painful enough without adding to it - spare yourself when you rightfully can, please.

Well I suppose I would fix the problem (i.e. hire a lawyer maybe?) and then send it out again instead of waiting a year for the appeal (if I understand that correctly). Sadly no, he couldn't immigrate here, we would have to hope for the UK (Ancestry Visa)... but all that is worst-case scenerio, as you mentioned before... and again, just figured I would throw the question out there and see exactly why withdrawing vs. appeal is frowned upon.

P.S... I like your picture.
