The only chance the op has is in a federal courtroom, tacking on an easy extra 3-5 yrs to the process, that or he can file a new claim and hope for a different outcome. These people need to understand the truth, and that is that most of them are going to lose, and lose badly!

Only 4% of the cases are given an outright approval at the Federal Court level. Most are either denied (40%) or simply remanded (47%) back to an ALJ.

I don't know how you came to the decision that Federal Court would give you, or anyone, a better opportunity for approval, but it just isn't true. It can give you another opportunity to keep your case alive and not lose backpay, so that new evidence can be presented to an ALJ--but that's generally what one is trying to accomplish with the AC as well.
