My friend lawyer told him that he can apply for his parents because when he send the application for sponsor his parents his p r card is still valid.and he can renew his p r card even during processing of his parents after completing his 730 day's.
You’ve already mentioned a lawyer told you it’s Ok to apply .
Just a yes or a no
We’re you in compliance with your r/o at time of submission ? Card validity is not the same as being in compliance . If the lawyer is connecting card validity to being able to apply , then in theory the person could be here only one day, then apply, because his PR card is still valid . Hope no one paid for that advice
One of the benefits allowed to PR’s is to be able to sponsor their parents if chosen .
Does it make ANY sense whatsoever for someone who is not in compliance to be able to sponsor ? BTW 1.5 years is not 2 years . I’d check your calendar
