Amen to that. When they do it right, they rightly should get praise.   Coincidentally, I saw a “last updated on” change to May 4. Wonder what that’s about? Hopefully good news coming sometim

Does anyone know if it’s a good idea to notify the consulate that you are planning to file a Writ of Mandmus? Some websites say to give the consulate a 30 day heads up.

I wish we would help you somehow. 😭

For your own mental sake - maybe deciding on a time limit for WoM would be beneficial. Just to take back some control of your life.

 

“If by X date I don’t have updates, I’ll file”

 

I did this and it has made a world of difference in my stress levels.

Unfortunately, as unfair as it is, I am starting to believe, with certain random cases, MTL will just not make any progress until they are sued. I think these cases are just forgotten in a pile on someone's desk, or at the back of some filing cabinet...Really sad state of affairs....

Omg, that’s crazy. But I can believe it.

 

Why makes you think that though?

They found it. They’ve been giving me the run around for a week lol

 

They sent some of my personal information to the wrong applicant at one point so my mind immediately went there lol

This is horrifying! What a mess… Just imagine if this is what we see, how much worse it probably is in reality…

 

Glad they found it in the end though.

Congratulations for taking the step @CanNursetoUS .  We also signed back with Goldstein and sent the initial intake questionnaire on Sunday and so far so good- just submitted some follow up questions and documents they needed last night and this morning, so the gathering stage is moving very fast, which is refreshing!  So it looks like you, me and @WishIWasntHere are all in active filing WOM process with Goldstein with @BatmanFlow consulting this week.  Is there anyone else on here currently in an active suit with Goldstein or have a consult set up?  We should start a group chat to compare notes.     

Hi guys, Does Goldstein team has an free strategy session to evaluate if a case is qualified for filing WOM? Thanks

Hey, I actually have a call with them today! I am most likely going to go that same route with them as well! I really hope I get this visa this summer as I have been getting some really nice job offers down there, but I don't want to move with just a TN visa. 

Hi, could  you still get another visa like TN as you said if your Other Visa is still in AP? Would this not put your TN visa application under the same AP process? Congrats on your offers and best of luck. Thank you
