Hi there,

I just realized that I made a mistake. My mom is PR and dad is not. Dad came here last Nov and submitted the inland sponsored. He got Approval in Principle really fast, and we got his health card setup as well. But, he is stuck on the background check for over 6 months now.

His came here on visitor visa and we didn’t apply for any work permit since he is retired already. Now, it has been 11 months since his entry. I don’t think we can restore his status since it passed 90 days. Should we go back to home country? If we do that, then is he still eligible for inland application? Should he go to US and come back? I feel like he will run into issues at the border.

what are our options right now?

thanks
