Hello all,
I have been a member on this forum for a while now as I have been working on filling out my inland application. I would have been lost without this forum, so I thank YOU ALL for your words of wisdom.
I am still in the process of filling out my inland application, but have faced a dilemma.
I am not a U.S citizen however, I studied and lived in the U.S for the past 7 years. I then got a TRV for Canada and got married to my husband in June 2014 and currently reside with him in Canada. I have been recently advised that I could actually apply as an outland applicant through a U.S office since I have legally resided in the U.S for more than 1 year. Is this possible? and what are the risks? Also, would I have to travel to the U.S for any interviews etc?
I would do almost anything to reduce my processing times, however I do not want to risk living apart from my husband in Canada.
My second question is in relation to my inland application: I am currently working for a U.S company and have some training in the U.S. Once I file my inland application with my OWP, I know that you are discouraged to leave Canada however, if I have a training visa or something of that sort, do my chances of re-entry into Canada increase?
Thank you so much for your help. If an outland is not an option for me, I need to get my inland application in ASAP especially considering the horrific wait times
