Should Spousal Sponsor Pay for Appeal to IAD?

Applicant had 5-year ban for inadmissibility issue. Sponsor hired an Immigration Consultant at great cost to prepare Outland Spousal Application. IRCC received the application 5 days before 5-year ban expired. Sponsorship application refused A42 (1) (a) no error in Law. RCIC Consultant want Immigration Lawyer to appeal refusal. Immigration Lawyer calls me an Immigration Consultant and wants my advice to appeal or not.

I have been winning contentious spousal appeals for decades and am willing to provide my advice to other Counsels for free when I can get clear answers to details. I feel strongly there is a huge difference between just a LAWYER and an experienced Immigration Consultant. Here are some of the questions I asked the Lawyer,

Q. What was the reason for the initial 5-year inadmissible ban?

A. I never asked.

Q. Do you have a copy of the latest refusal?

A. No

Q. What do you know about the relationship of the sponsor/appellant and the applicant?

A. Never spoke with them know nothing.

Compassion is common sense. One can seek relief at the IAD based on H&C factors but what was the reason for the 5-year ban for inadmissibility? Why would anyone accept a client for a Full Spousal Appeal if they did not have any knowledge to the genuineness of the marriage? How can one file an appeal without a copy of the refusal letter?

 Will the RCIC Immigration Consultant cover at least part of the fees the Immigration Lawyer will charge? Will the RCIC Immigration Consultant receive a referral fee from this Immigration Lawyer if he files the appeal?

My ADVICE! Get the answers to my questions I asked and if you believe they have quality evidence to prove a genuine marriage file the appeal!

·         Frustrated that this RCIC Immigration Consultant did not reach out to me to represent this client for under half of what this Immigration Lawyer will charge this spousal appeal client.
