I went through detroit. At the time I felt like the only one, most others went through NYC etc. Detroit was superfast for me though, fingers crossed for everyone else here!!

Omg! I have my PR visa now!!! I just checked my mail box and there it was! They have returned all the photos and the kids birthcertificates but not nothing else. Either way I am so happy!!!

It took about 3 weeks from them receiving my passport to return. I was really getting worried that it was lost in the mail!

Now I am going to be looking to see when I should land! I can finally see my kids back in the States!!!!!!! 3 months of not seeing them has been a torture for me.

Cross posted from July:
LANDED! We went to Buffalo last night (we could land at anytime since NYC had issued the visa). No problems at the border. It took a total of 15mins because he had nothing to land with as we had brought his things here previously.

This morning, however, when speaking with a friend at work he mentioned that you can land IN TORONTO :S He landed several years ago but for those around Toronto you may want to investigate. He said it was by Yonge and St Clair, but since this was a few years ago perhaps the rules have changed.

Thank you for all your support through this process and good luck to everyone waiting on completion!!

Detroit sent my husband the passport request today! I was so happy I cried! He laughed and told me he was coming home... I cried more. Hehe. We hope to land by the end of the month!

Anyone know anything about sending the passport in? My hubs is coming here on the 22nd and we want to mail it from Canada. ;D

Good luck everyone, Detroit is moving SO fast right now!
