    You can send Montreal your passport, it should be fine. However, they will only mail the visa within Canada to the location specified before your interview. So you would just need a document to get back into Canada to get your visa. You'd have to use a land border.

    Nice to see some minimal movement . Seems like January interviewers in DS 5535 are getting cleared. So those of us who interviewed in April , can we have some hope of a medical request by March?

    I think he meant he will mail it in when he is back in Canada.

    What happened with the WOM? It's appalling to see so many on the list who have filed WOMs.and have no relief.

    The CBC just had a story on it, tech folks from Bombay appalled at the cost of the living/low pay, high taxes in Canada etc..in the story it specifically mentioned people sticking around so they could become a citizen and get a TN in the US, where there were much better opportunities to grow their career and buy homes. This is a well-known thing in certain communities, probably since the 90s. People give the US a lot of criticism, but it is the place to be. So did the lawyer suggest you just wait? At least he is honest.

    Anyone can get it, however, more likey if you have an Islamic name or born in/travel to Islamic countries. Any Middle East country , especially Iran/Iraq almost always = endless admin processing, Pakistan, Afghanistan...yep you will be in admin processing for a long long time. Somalia too. Basically they want to discourage folks from certain backgrounds. They don't care if you are a Canadian citizen, they look at your background. Also, I think Canada has a reputation for being more lenient on immigration, letting in people the US wouldn't, so I think that is a factor as to why they are so strict. You won't just waltz your way to a greencard, the United States is the greatest, richest and most powerul nation to ever exist, top bond and capital markets. Immense power. They will make you really earn that greencard.

    You may also file in the state where your spouse lives, if you look on pacer, other districts (especially California, Texas, NY) don't really waste time fighting these cases. DC is a very tough district, avoid filing there if you can. I think for many WOM is the only way out, even after a year they aren't required to finish processing you. They can keep this going forever.
