Spousal sponsorship application returned, will my visa extension be denied?

[ashleysabine]

Hi all,
My spousal sponsorship application was recieved on may 8th. My application was returned to me yesterday, due to a missing signature on the additional family information sheet.

On June fourth I applied for a visa extension for 6 months, because my passport was due to expire in the next two weeks. At the time I was still waiting on AOR. Does anyone know if I'll be denied my extension since I have not yet reapplied? I am waiting on the FBI to return my fingerprints (police check), before I resubmit. Has any one else read that the background checks are only good for 3 months?

Also, do I have to wait for an answer on my extension before I can resubmit my sponsorship application?

The visitor extension app had nothing to do with the PR app. Has your passport actually been extended?

If you haven't returned to the US, you can submit the same FBI check.

I am still waiting on the decision to extend my passport.

Good to know, thank you!

Status can't be granted beyond passport expiry, so expect a refusal.

Oh no, I applied for the extension before my visa expired. My passport itself is valid for several more years. Sorry, I mixed those two up. I'm still waiting on a decision on my visa extension.

Then you should be fine.

Hey could you kindly share your timeline after this happened. Just got my application returned today for the same reason.
Apparently once you resend the application it’s processed faster?How true is this for you?

I am also wondering how to include more than one signature on this form. The principal applicant has signed, but in many places it says all family members must sign, but there is no place for their signature. What are they wanting?

Sure! On august 9th they received my newly submitted application. On September 23rd, I got the AOR letter letting me know it was now being processed. I just got my work permit approved on October 22nd. They were definitely faster this time, but I don't know that it was because I was resubmitting. I did include a cover letter making sure that I stated this is my second time applying, so maybe they rushed it because of that. I ended up just resubmitting the same fingerprints, because I had not left canada since getting them. I've noticed that in some months they process applications quicker than at other times of the year.
