Q: How to make an appeal against visa refusal for F4 Category?
My uncle is sponsored under F4 category. He has a family of five which includes his wife, two children and an adopted daughter. The adopted daughter was adopted in 2012 when she was at age 12 and has been living with my uncle for 6 years. My uncle had his interview yesterday but the adopted daughter got her visa refused. Interviewer told that there are no proper laws for adoption in Pakistan so they can't consider her for visa.
Now, we are really in a desperate situation as she is an orphan and there is no one to look after her in Pakistan. Could you please help me in this regard?
A: Your question is very complex and fact sensitive. You will need an in person consultation with an experienced immigration attorney right away. Immigration is a very complex area of law. It is a lot more than merely filling out forms. You need to retain an immigration attorney to handle all immigration proceedings. This prevents errors that can sometimes prove costly and may even be irreversible. You should always seek to obtain the best attorney that you can afford and not let geographic restrictions stand in the way. Some immigration attorneys will charge a consultation fee, however those that do so, will give full credit if you retain their law firm. Do not let geographic restrictions prevent you from obtaining the best possible attorney. The enforcement of immigration law is expected to be stricter after the change in administrations takes place in January, so you should seek counsel and look to resolve your immigration matter as soon as possible. Good luck.
