Totally hard to say right, only know based on experience or what we read on here. Of course, our situation is a little different than a snowbird where they aren't seeking to be PR on the US. I know that CBP might not prevent you from crossing and yield much warning about your "time" in country. Of course Onus is on the traveller right. 

Yes totally agree

It's hard. I just dropped the wife off at YYC this morning, since I need to be out of the US for a bit (safer than sorry).. So hard :(

 

It's extremely difficult. I just came back from a two week visit to see my husband and it was such an amazing time but leaving him to come back was so difficult. I cried like a baby (he cried too eve though he was trying hard not to). Then I cried through my whole flight from YYC to Dallas and then from Dallas through MS. By the time I reached home my eyes were swollen. But I honestly just could not stop crying.

 

So I have asked to schedule a consultation with an attorney for the WOM. We have been apart long enough, we are an older couple and we really want and are dying to start our lives together and I have needed him all the more since my father's passing in 2021 for emotional support. I'm so sick of this treatment of married couples and keeping them apart for what seems like no reason.

Sorry to hear that. Hope it works out for you. I would suggest to go for WOM and don't delay in waiting

Thank you for your response. Yes, I would agree however I have heard from many snow birds that they have been crossing borders like this with no questions asked by officers. Not sure what's the 100 % correct answer for it ..

The last time we got in a convo with you about this 21 posts were deleted because you kept arguing for immigration fraud 😅

lol funny. This thing is in grey area. You can confirm it with different lawyers. However, I agree with Mr. Dennisv that it's better to be safe than sorry.

Agreed although we have only been in AP since about 7 months but that's truly 7 too many. I think I have waited long enough. Thank you for your advice, it just confirms for me too that it may be time to go for the WOM. Seems to be about the only way we can get the Consulate to do its job

Yes Definitely, 7 months is long enough time. If your financial situation allows it's worth to go ahead with WOM. Otherwise wait times could be up to 14 months and more. Recently, I heard good things about PIC law firm from this kind community.

You're welcome. We all help each other in staying strong. They will reply to your query in 5 - 7 business days. Please mention your full name, case number, date of interview, date of birth etc. in email. 

Thank you for the advice - I just sent one with my Refusal Letter attached but I will shoot over another one right now with all of that info too just to be safe. Will keep everyone here posted when I hear back!

 

Also just curious, I see so many "we've been waiting 6/10/12/14 months for approval after DS5535". Has anyone had it done in a more timely manner or is this basically the case for everyone?
