Well for full appeal I provided 2133 pages of documentation of genuine marriage, everything absolutely that they ask for proofs. I used the immigration officers operations manual which had a check list of what documents they needed to show genuine marriage and we provided everything on the list except joint bank accounts which I refused anyway. Sorry I am somewhat liberal. This in fact is the reason we won at full appeal and again at the Federal court level. Because we do have the documents and we do have a genuine marriage absolutely and without a doubt. I am seeing on other forums of women in 60's married to men of 20's or 30's getting their visas for spouses. Men of course in their senior years also getting married to 20's, 30's women and succeeding, not being told their marriage is not genuine. It is a fact I am older in number of years from my husband of just 12 years. But if anyone saw our pics they will say we are same age. Is this the only reason the immigration officer will think we are non genuine? I am Canadian and he is Pakistani, although it is not normal in this culture, but it does happen and marriages do work from interracial marriages, Canada a country where you find interracial marriage acceptable. So I am still fully confused as to why they would be suspect of a non genuine marriage. I have all the proof of genuine and have sent a further 200 pages of documents, phone bills from the last two years since refusal and daily chat records for the last two years. Of course we have not relaxed our contact, as a fact we have grown stronger and more in love. I just want this process finished, we deserve a happiness after knowing each other for 6 years.
