Hello Everyone,

My wife's visitor visa extension application got refused. She is out of status now since Aug 5th, 2016. I am applying for restoration of status through online.

I have few questions...

How does the restoration of visitor status work ?

If the restoration gets accepted, does it implicitly mean extension of Visitor status ? Or will i be required to apply for extension separately ?

Can i apply for restoration of status and also extension of visitor visa in the same application ??

One of the question in the IMM 5708 reads like ...

3. I am applying for one or more of the following

a. Extension of my temporary resident status
b. Restoration of temporary resident status as a visitor
c. Initial temporary resident permit or estension of temporary resident permit.

Can i select option a & b or do i select only b ?

Thanks,
Anil.

Restoration and extension are mutually exclusive (you cannot extend something that needs to be restored, and you cannot restore something that can be extended).

You want a restoration
