I posted earlier but I have some other questions. My husband is applying for an open work permit and we were wondering if he should also apply for a visitor visa extension in case the OWP is refused, as he will be on implied status once shortly after we submit the application.

My questions are:
1. For the visitor visa extension, what date did you put for how long you will stay? Since my spouse will stay until a decision regarding our sponsorship application is made, I'm not sure what to write.
2. Do previous overstays and illegal work (my husband is now in status and does not work) mean OWP will be refused?
3. Can/should we send pictures and chat logs with our OWP application?

I don't want to pay extra for the visa extension but I'm also worried his OWP will be refused because of his previous work and overstays, so I don't want to risk it. I just wanted to see what knowledge other people have on this.
