The applicant sought judicial review of an IAD decision dismissing his appeal of a visa officer's refusal to issue a permanent resident visa to his wife.
The visa officer found the marriage was not genuine and was entered into primarily for acquiring status.
The IAD found multiple discrepancies in evidence regarding the development of the relationship and financial transfers.
The Federal Court held the IAD's decision was reasonable, noting it adequately weighed the positive evidence against the discrepancies and did not inappropriately rely on speculation or the age difference.
