The tribunal allowed a spousal sponsorship appeal after finding that the couple’s arranged marriage was genuine despite a short courtship and both spouses’ prior divorces.
A visa officer refused the client’s husband because the arranged marriage took place within weeks of the couple’s first meeting. The officer treated the short timeline and the spouses’ prior divorces as warning signs.
The couple provided more than 1,300 pages of corroborating documents, including records of four visits to India, daily communications, joint financial documents and records relating to pregnancies and IVF treatment.
The appeal combined extensive documentary evidence with consistent oral testimony. Together, the evidence demonstrated the couple’s continuing commitment and their shared effort to build a family.
The tribunal found the couple credible and forthright, rejected the officer’s concerns as substantially speculative and allowed the appeal.
