I have home and family in Pakistan. Providing documents showing my ties with Pakistan will help? 

She also have family and job in Pakistan.

And you left all that.

I have not sold my home in Pakistan and I get montly rent from one portion, and I visit my family every year... and I am working in USA on temporary visa.

I am not arguing with you. I just want to know what documents can I/she show to improve her visa chances.

I am sure it has been mentioned before documents are very rarely looked at, all she seems to have is a job which she does not need to go back for.

You just proved my point. It has nothing to do with being sold. You are renting it out you are not living in it. You visit Pakistan you do not have to return there ever. You could hop the border stay in Canada as a dual citizen, her ties are to you not Pakistan. 

 

She can't give them what she doesn't have. Leaving a job that ,  even if they gave her a leave of absent is not proof for her. I can't see any ties for her to Pakistan and that is the problem. 

 

Trust me I understand what you are telling me. You will leave the US when your TN visa is done. I believe you but I'm not the one that needs convincing.

If I add her as owner of my house, will that help? How the officer will know without looking at documents? We both need to go back as TN is a temporary visa and TD is dependent on TN.

Did the officer look at or request any documents?

Ok thanks. If that is the case then any TN visa holder would not be able to marry a non canadian. I am sure there are people out there who have similar situation. May be they can provide some suggestion.

Nothing  

and we doubt that ties are real reason for rejection.. may be it is our marriage duration. May be if I travel to Pakistan and then she takes my original passport and tn documents during interview.. it will help. 

 

There is no restriction on TN dependent to be in Canada. I am sure there are people who have similar case as mine

I do know if a TN marries a USC and tries to enter the US with the same TN it is voided. But I can't see that being the same as your situation.

 

Wasn't all your information on her TD application? They should have had all that information.

Based on the attitude of the CO interview of your wife and the "do not care" attitude at asking/looking at any documents it could be a situation you cannot change no matter what you do.

Online applciation DS-160 does not include any information about my TN. 

She just took copy of my TN approval, I-94 and payslips during the interview as suporting documents.

Hopefully she will find a better and more knowledgable (about TN) officer next time. It looks like luck plays a major role at Islamabad embassy. Ther are hardly any TD cases in Pakistan.

I came to this forum to see if there is any one else who faced same problem.

That is a good word for your situation: luck.

 

I think member posters are here to help you and anyone that had your "same problem" would have an answer based on "luck" as you say.

 

The question for you in your very interesting problem is how much are you willing to "row upriver" and throw money at your problem.  This is a Las Vegas question and answer.  So answering as a gambler with your problem: save your money to buy plane tickets , hotels, etc. to spend time together.  Maybe Canada, maybe Spain, etc. 

 

Good luck with your endeavors.

Kind of arrogant to assume the denial is related to the knowledge level of the CO, isn't it?  By law, COs are required to assume immigrant intent for applicants of non-immigrant visas.  The way around that is to show strong ties to home/reasons to return.  Your wife failed to do that and was therefore rightly denied.

[Boiler 45,897]

There are several shall we say long term non immigrant visa's TD, E2 for example where most applicants will have little in the way of ties to home, most coming for what they expect to be many years will not have much left behind.

 

Obviously Visa's are issued the same way a B  would be  to say a College student who has not a lot more than a Dorm room and wants to visit the US.

 

CO's still have the opportunity to deny based on on immigrant intent and obviously in this case there was something they did not like and the easiest option is to use that.
