Spousal Sponsorship Refused Better Appeal / Sponsor Again

[Suman]

My wife’s sponsorship application got refused. I am confused now as to whether I should appeal it or file a new sponsorship application? Which would be faster and better route?

I would like to see your spousal sponsorship application sent along with supporting documents and refusal letter. After reviewing the documents, I can give my opinion. Sometimes grave mistakes are committed in the application; therefore, a fresh sponsorship is better in that case. If application has no mistakes then going for appeal is better as you may be selected for ADR and the matter will be over in a couple of months upon receipt of record from Immigration and Refugee Board.
