Application for sponsorship rec May 5 2013 sponsor approval May 26 2013
Singapore rec file June 3 2013
Interview requested Nov 3 with scheduled date on Nov 25
My wife asked for an interpreter because she wanted to make sure they didn't misunderstand her (she speaks English almost fluently)
2 Previous Marriage
1 to thai citizen - marriage arranged because she got pregnant (1996 divorced 2003)
1 foreign national - was told to sign paper to extend her stay (wasn't told it was marriage document) divorce 2012
reason for refusal request for interpreter -> assumed limited English ability
Previous Marriage to foreign national
She's 5 years older than me so not likely that it's a genuine relationship
What we submitted:
they don't believe we actually talk together even though we submitted phone records, Skype in english logs (printed 1057 pages at the time of sponsorship application) nearly 2000 by interview (brought copies to interview) also brought copies of wedding photo's invitations, plane tickets from when I've come to see her copy of hospital records from when we lost our baby where I signed as spouse, pictures of us on vacation, hotel records where we both signed in , copy of my life insurance showing her as my beneficiary, letters from my family (they weren't able to attend wedding due to work )
we had about 80 people at our wedding and had local politician attend as well submitted wedding book as well.
They also were kind enough to insinuate at her interview that I only married her for access to her daughter from her first husband (She was 16 at the time)
We applied for 1 PR applicaton for my wife my stepdaughter was to stay in Thailand to finish school
I don't know what more we could have done for those ........... people
