@YULIA-2016 You may have answer for this. I have applied to sponsor my parents in 2018 second round and waiting for SA Approval. I have been married in 2015 and sponsored a spouse that time. The thing is to meet the LICO I have included my Spouse as Co signer in the application . I think the ban to sponsor someone is only if you sponsor another spouse if you have been sponsored in last 5yrs under spouse, common law. Form 1344, Point 5 under sponsor eligibility. I am worried now. Will it be a issue in sponsor eligibility ?
