More questions before resubmitting Spousal sponsor application for the third time!

Well, the OP's lawyer friend actually was right about the dependents section, but the lawyer failed to mention them to fill the IMM5406, which is a complete different animal than the dependent section on IMM0008. Anyway, I bet the OP is an US citizen, and should be qualified for FBI channeler services, which it only takes 2-3 weeks to obtain a new FBI Rap sheet.

Yes I am a US citizen and didn't know if I qualify for a channeler service! How do I check and see if I do!? and..... Thank you all so much for all the help and advice!! I really is very appreciated!! I got a new fingerprint cards today one in my old name and one in my married name... An agent at the FBI recommended I submit both for background check just in case.... . If I can find out if I qualify and can use a channeler service that would really cut down potential wait time!! We ain't spring chickens both of us in our 60's and just want to spend our last year's together enjoying life and holding hands by the ocean on Vancouver island

Woo hoo!! Thank you so much!! I've heard if them but didn't think I could qualify!! This could speed up the 14-16 week wait if I have to have it redone!! Thank you so much!!

You don't have to have it re-done. Your current PCC is still valid for several months. The name change isn't an issue and you don't need a new one just for that.

Don't worry so much about the FBI background check. It hasn't been that long and as others have mentioned, yours is still good. My American husband got his in the spring of 2016 and we filed the following December. We didn't have any problems.
