(in reply to: Thank You STARCHIEF....)
Hi Sandy,
First of all I made my appeal based on criminal inadmissibilty. My husband had a problem in the past with the law (1992) and they used that against him. When I had to contact the IAD about the first meeting to decide when my hearing would be, they had to look up the person who was responsible for my case. I had contact with him by phone, fax and email. I was told of my hearing date by email and then an official announcement paper came in the mail. So I would assume that everyone who has made an appeal has someone assigned to their case.
The judge asked me if I was going to appeal based on criminal or compassionate reasons and I picked compassionate reasons. Then he asked me questions about what happened in 1992. After that the CIC asked me lots of questions. She wondered why we didn´t reply for rehabilitation. She wanted to know how disabled my father was and how much care he needed. She asked about how much money we had and why I didn´t move home to take care of my parents and then wait for my husband to come. Well I had been living in Europe for 4 years at the time of application was sent and had been 6 years by the time of the hearing. In the last two years, I had been working and couldn´t really leave my job.
The papers state that 30 days before the hearing, you have to provide the IAD with a copy of documents that you will be presenting at the hearing. We had copies of letters written from my husband´s past employeeers, a letter from the family doctor in Canada which outlined the health problems of my parents and all the emails my mother sent us with problems she had trying to take care of my father. I feel these documents were very important for me winning my case.
I had done a lot of reading on the CIC´s site about immigration wanting to reunited families and I based my documents accordingly. In the end when the judge read his decision, he mentioned that it was a important to reunited families and that because the problem my husband had occurred in 1992, that would be overlooked. Therefore my appeal would be allowed.
I am not sure why your case was refused but make sure you bring whatever documents possible to support your case. I hope the information I gave you helps you. Best of Luck!
