    Attempted Soft landing via Detroit Windsor tunnel but denied

    Attempted Soft landing via Detroit Windsor tunnel but denied

    Another question I had is: Did the officer deny soft landing because I (primary applicant) was trying to do soft landing only with my daughter and without my spouse? The officer could have allowed if I was all by myself, should I try that again?
