OMG Stressed :O are you serious? How could they do this to you? I feel so horrible to only know what you must be going through emotionally. I am terribly sorry that this was the outcome in your case. It really bothered me that the IO had all those BS to say about your application. I know they have to analyze applications carefully but this is overly ridiculous. I have gone through many rejections with CIC while I lived in Canada. The decisions they take on our lives are sometime unfair but who are we to say that the Gov't official that made that decision is wrong? I think you will have an excellent appeal because you sound like you have sufficient amount of information to prove your rship with hubby. It will be a road little longer than what you have anticipated but the success will be worth it in the end. I strongly suggest you still keep up the hard work of saving every single bit of evidence you have with your hubby since your interview. I would also strongly suggest you get hubby to come visit you maybe for the holidays or pretty soon to show that he actually cares and he came to show emotional support. Just keep every bill, receipt, picture, card, boarding pass, even over weight slips at the airport, duty free receipts, credit card spending, Wal-Mart receipts if he goes there to purchase stuff to bring back for you. I mean any and every god darn thing you can think of. If it'll cost you a packet of paper and more to put it all together, then so be it. They need evidence so it's now your chance to bombard them with it. If you need more help on this do send me a pvt msg in my inbox.
My friend was in the US illegal as well. I think she has a 20 year ban or something like that for trying to enter two times illegally.
@ Honey, the mails can take anywhere between a week to months before it gets to you all depending on the local postal system in your country. I asked that my IO correspond to me via my Cdn mailing address and he said that mails get put in some bag that goes to Ottawa where it sits for sometime before being redistributed to Canada Post for final mailing :S
In addition, they wouldn't clearly state it out to the public but CIC has a quota for rejections each year. I don't think it's a standard quota but they have to meet something I am pretty sure to keep their stats flowing. Some of us are just not so lucky
Stressed was married to her hubby directly to her hubby and then applied for sponsorship according to what I understood.
@ Vinnigurl, your time is just around the corner and I hope you are preparing to kick @ $$ for your interview. Be sure to get all things up to date. I would order my CAIPS notes if I were you to do a little research on who my IO may be and stuff like that.
Hope everyone else is doing great!
