Okay, is it. Me and my friend totally confused. asking for refund and apply new application or appeal. Situation is tense for us. Not sure what to do..... YVR123 many people are saying new document what new document that we can represent....
I may be repeating a bit but: it seems (from what we can see) that you were refused correctly.

An appeal SHOULD fail because when you applied, you were not eligible. You could, you know, ask nicely and for mercy and show that you now are eligible - but the way the system works is eligibility at the time you applied.

My own personal guess is that it would be faster to drop, get refund and apply anew. Because an appeal might take another 12 months and you'd be right where you are now.

But it's a guess and it's your choice.

I don't know what you mean exactly. But should be no, if the refusal was for a reason and that reason no longer applies, the rest should move forward normally. (That doesn't exclude refusal for some other reason, of course, but those should be pretty rare)

Why you always talk about your friend instead of assuming it was you Brother.

Under this category, if he meets all the requirements, he could sponsor ONLY ONE relative.
He could request a refund online.
