The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) dismissing her appeal of a visa officer's refusal to grant a permanent resident visa to her spouse in the Dominican Republic.
The visa officer and the IAD concluded that the marriage was not genuine or was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring a status under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
The Federal Court found that the IAD's decision was based on an internally coherent and rational chain of analysis, supported by evidence of inconsistencies and a lack of depth in the couple's relationship.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
