Can I Request Full Hearing Instead ADR Meeting To Save Time

[Rajpal (Admin)]

No, you will have to submit documents according to rules of Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) and appear for mediation at ADR conference/meeting. Early resolution is in your favour; you will save time and money and your spouse will join you sooner. If you will not co-operate with the request of Immigration & Refugee Board, your appeal may be abandoned and your spouse will not be able to join you. You may be able to sponsor him/her again. In case your sponsorship is refused again, you will be again at the same square where you were before a year ago. In a case you are given a full hearing, it would be a high threshold as compared to ADR conference. Prepare documents and yourself for ADR mediation conference.
