Thanks Ryathe, I think they only ask for passport if they need to put in a visa like when I got a working holiday visa to Australia and UK I had to send my passport. In my wife's case they will mail the COPR to Spain then her family will ups it to canada as she is here Visiting and we can go to USA boarder and flagpole. I'm guessing a letter will arrive in Spain next week and then they can send it to canada. Ill make sure to let you know. I'm going to set up another post once landed detailing everything that happened and will make sure to keep answering questions for people. I'm 99.9 % sure we r approved. I think that all September applicants should be getting there answers in the coming weeks and months also. Another thing is I think paying all fees upfront helps speed process along
