BlueLobster , My original reply was brief and just wanted to put the immigration officer's response in proper perspective. We tend to feel that they are always out to ruin us (immigrants). Here is a clear case where one of them has exercised proper judgement in denying the visa.
My friend had applied for a visitor's visa a few years ago. She was 23 , a very well educated , honest , law abiding citizen of India who wanted to visit her aunt in the GTA. Her visa was refused.She was devastated by the reason given "You fit the profile of a person who goes to Canada with the sole intention of marrying and applying for the spouse visa". I can now understand that the officer had probably seen too many cases like Vegasmanboy's.
I understand that the 'Ask immigration' forum is not the one to air your personal opinions but then the query was here and I HAD to reply.
No you didn't HAVE to! Period!
Again, this section is for people seeking legal advice pertaining to immigration. However justified your frustration is at your friend not getting the visa, it does not belong here! Your response would be appropriate if someone was asking them regarding the morality of their case, but its on a tangent in the context of the question.
So for the last time, this section is reserved for objective legal advice, not judgements and opinions.

Are you there?

This doesn't seem to be the case in most of the posts in this section...Apart from the posts providing patently WRONG advice , there are also many posts which analyze the basic issue being raised. Just do a quick check. You will see what I mean.
My suggestion is to LOCK the posts as you do in the success stories section. But then it's YOUR board..

Yeah...and it won't be until members understand that this isn't a section to put whatever comes to mind.

Send me a PM next time someone does either of those. Do your part in helping out. Note that the analysis is fine if the poster's actually requesting it or finds it constructive for his/her query.

Every post to this topic has wrong answers or inane discussions. Sorry , I can't be wasting my time PMing you when this is so frequent. It's YOUR board. You take out the trash.
"let's give Vegasboy his thread back!"
While on the subject of trash....
NYD,
I was withholding comment on your moronic and rude comments but you seem to have no respect for this message board or its moderators, much less its members.
You said:
\"I sponsored my wife. She got the visa in two months. No interview. No questions were asked. Why was that? I didn't bribe the immigration officer. I didn't hire a lawyer.\"
But in this thread:
http://www.canadiandesi.com/read.php?TID=11310
You are suggesting:
\"On entering India you can declare yourself for 'Transfer of Residence'. Generally you won't need assessment for gold jewelry. They will generally not assess duty on any used item if you grease the proper hands. \"
Mr NYD,
Read BlueLobster's notice carefully, and if you don't understand it, ask any 8th grader to simpify it for you. This is an 'Ask the Experts' section. NOT a chatroom. This is serious business and people may base their decisions on it. It is not proper to suggest bribery as a solution. That says a lot about you but we don't wanna know. Keep your criminal mentality to yourself.
Also you said:
\"You have to burn your PR card in the nearest Kali temple. \"
You not being funny. PR card is the property of Canadian Government. Hint: Illegal to burn it. Have some respect. If you said that in a room full of PR aspirants you will be lucky to walk again.
\"Every post to this topic has wrong answers or inane discussions. Sorry , I can't be wasting my time PMing you when this is so frequent. It's YOUR board. You take out the trash.\"
I don't have the time or inclination to go through all your posts but you replies were found to be as wrong or inane as they get. Its OUR board and we ALL share the responsibility to make it successful.
\"While on the subject of trash....\"
Learn some internet manners, or grow some balls to tell it to my face next time you come to India or to my wife in Vancouver so we can give you the proper answer.
Have a safe day.
C'mon guys let sanity prevail.

Ladies and gentlemen:
Sponsoring a spouse is legal, not queue jumping. Visa Officers around the world do make mistakes and refuse legitimate and genuine marriage cases too. Simply producing papers, photos, phone bills, videos etc, may not be sufficient to sway an officer at times [actually many times, especially in certain parts of India]. I do at least 2 marriage appeal cases a week and I do not represent people who enter into fake marriages [marriages of convenience].
Belive me, there are thousands of genuinely married people being separated for years because of over-zealous Visa Officers [especially in India].
So, instead of giving the guy a hard time, if you can't offer support, please do not detract from the point at issue here.
He can't appeal until he receives a formal refusal. If the officer indicated at the interview that he/she may refuse the application, it does not harm the case if the sponsor and his wife write to the officer and try to address the concerns raised at the interview [cheaper than an appeal]. If that fails, he will have the right to appeal. If he has tons of emails and sms [and proof of these] and the testimony demonstrates adequate knowledge and a reasonable development of a relationship, I don't see how he can lose his appeal.
Enough said! Good luck.
