Hi, I'm sponsoring my wife under inland category.
She stayed in California last year from late August to early February this year, totally about 5 month and 14 days. So we did not include the police certificate from FBI.
However, we received an email from CIC yesterday, which asks for the police certificate from USA.
A few questions:
1. Is this period of stay really need a police certificate? Can we argue with CIC?
2. Is the timing seem normal? From this forum, I see people get email asking for police certificate only after in 2nd phase. We submitted the application in March, and we even haven't received the work permit.
3. FBI need 12-14 weeks to process the certificate. In case we need that, does CIC give extension to the original 60 days limit?
4. Does this delay affect work permit processing?
Thank you guys!
Much appreciated!
