This is why it is almost always better to choose option A. If the reason the sponsor is found ineligible is because of a mistake on the part of the sponsor made while filling out the forms, or is because of something that can be fixed, it is much quicker to just redo the forms, or fix the problem, and reapply.missmini said:2. if u choose option B and let's say the IO finds the sponsor not eligible, the 2nd stage of the application starts anyways; can the sponsor already appeal the 1st stage decision, or wait until the 2nd stage is over too? the reason why i ask is that the 1st stage takes maybe 4 weeks and 2nd stage could take 12+ months; if the sponsor can fix the issues and win the appeal until the 2nd stage completes, then what happens? will the overall application be approved or not
You can fix the problem and send proof to the visa officer and ask him/her to find that the sponsor is eligible after all, but for visa offices with long wait times, you might be waiting a year or more before you find out if the VO will do this. There is no guarantee they will. If they refuse, then you have to wait a year or more to appeal, and may still have to reapply. Better to just get the application returned at the sponsorship stage (which will take a month and a half), fix the problems, and reapply.
