Hey everyone,
So I landed on Thursday evening at the Windsor Detroit Borde. Basically drove down from Ottawa, reached Windsor at 8am. My girlfriend crossed the border and went to the consulate to hand in my passport, my document with my height and eye color, 2 photos and the letter authorizing my girlfriend to submit it.
Submitting it to the embassy was straight forward, however she had trouble getting past the buildings security to access the consulate. They werent letting her go to the embassy, saying that there is no more walk-ins, and that they need to have an email print out proving the embassy confirmed they can submit the document in person. Luckily I had already emailed Detroit to confirm with them, so she printed off that email. However once she went up the the consulate, they said the security should not have given her any problems, but just and FYI for anyone who's planning on going.
She was told to come pick it up at 2pm same day. When she went, she received my COPR and passport with the immigrant visa, came back, we crossed into US and turned around, took about 35 mins on the US side while they filled out paperwork, and then landed in Canada which took about 15-20 mins.
And that was that. oood luck to all of you!! Such an incredibly massive weight off my shoulders!
