Hello all
My spousal sponsorship process is almost completed. I received pre-arrival last week and then after 5 days Decision Made on ECAS .
Now, my lawyer wants to report an issue in Schedule A form that he missed earlier. There was mistake on our behalf in disclosing previous visa refusal. The misinterpretation occured because the TRV was refused in the same country where I have been staying for 10+ years, and during my stay, Temporary Resident Visa extension was refused. I did not leave that country and have been staying there legally until present. This is what confused me in reporting in Schedule A. Although I verbally informed my lawyer about this situation when filling the application forms, he did not report (I think forgot to or skipped it),and I relied on him thinking that he has taken care of what was needed to be done. Now the lawyer denied the fact that we informed him and I fully understand it counts as a mistake on my behalf as I am the one who signed the forms in the last. Recently, I wanted to confirm with him regarding this but he as put 100% blame on me saying I didn't tell him at the time of application.
We decided to update Schedule A and send it to the visa office. An explanation letter and a scan copy was sent via webform. But it happened in the same week when I received pre-arrival and a week later Decision was made on PR application. As it happened quickly, I am confused about whether they fetched the webform by the time decision was made. I informed the lawyer about DM but he says ECAS decision made doesn't mean anything. so he is adamant on sending hard copy of the corrected form to visa office.
I do not agree with him because I feel that ECAS reflects correct updates and when a decision has been made, sending excess documents does not make any sense. But he is kind of arrogant and I know he wont listen to me. He is an idiot and his staff is very rude and unhelpful. I am at a point where I can't cancel representation due to the fear that I might miss any further correspondence coming from visa office soon after DM. All the communication comes to his email address and if I cancel him now and also provide my email address, it might take some time for that to update in their system and what if I miss any communication during that phase. Anyone can tell me the impact of sending updated Schedule A even after DM. Is it going to make any difference? I am worried that it should not have any negative impact now. Please advise.
Thank you
