The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Immigration Appeal Division rejecting her appeal of a visa officer's refusal of her spousal sponsorship application.
The IAD found the relationship was not genuine and was entered into primarily for immigration purposes, citing inconsistent testimony regarding the couple's introduction by an aunt and the rapid development of the relationship.
The Federal Court granted the application for judicial review, finding the IAD had misapprehended evidence and its credibility findings were therefore unreasonable.
