Immigration Woes - Brandon woman, Lesley Kretai, fights to reunite with husband, Arafat Moomen

On Wednesday, February 16th, 2011, CBC Winnipeg aired a short news story about my and Rockey's immigration woes on the Supper News and another, shorter clip on the Late Night News. They also aired stories on Radio One on the morning show, noon show and throughout the day.

Rockey applied for a Permanent Resident Visa to Canada in October 2007. In August 2008 it was approved then revoked days later. It was finally refused March 2010. I filed an appeal in May 2010. We are STILL waiting!

How can Citizenship and Immigration Canada explain this injustice?

Please petition the Minister of Immigration, Jason Kenney on Arafat Moomen and Lesley Kretai's behalf!

@getouttamanitoba Thank you for your offer. I WOULD return if I could settle my debts here; It's been very hard being apart. Our appeal was heard last June; it was granted and the file has been 'sent back' for continued processing. As of this past week, the visa post has still not received the file! A CIC representative told me he is not sure how much longer it will take but he said "several months" at least. It will be 5 years this coming October. :(
