SPONSORSHIP

Spousal Sponsorship Appeal Allowed After Minister Conceded

A sponsorship refusal based on compatibility concerns was overturned after both spouses gave consistent and credible testimony.

The Client

A visa officer refused the client’s husband based on concerns about the genuineness of the marriage, including an age gap and the client’s prior marriages.

The Evidence

Both spouses explained that they had been in contact since November 2011, met twice in person before marrying, and maintained communication throughout the relationship.

Unified Immigration Lawyers' Strategy

The appeal presented the couple’s relationship history through direct testimony from both spouses, allowing the tribunal and Minister’s counsel to assess the consistency of their evidence.

The Outcome

The testimony was so clear that the Minister’s counsel conceded the appeal at the end of the examination-in-chief. The tribunal found the refusal wrong in law and allowed the appeal.

Focused, consistent testimony from both spouses can directly answer compatibility concerns and establish the genuineness of a marriage.
