One thing about Immigration on BOTH sides of the border I have learned...There is minimum standards to meet and after that there is a lot of "Officer Discretion" An officer can wave off so much with a stroke of a pen. Meaning what works with one applicant will not necessarliy work with another. As in border crossings there's no uniformity.
Example of this discretion is....I did not have to do the 2 year temperary card BECAUSE they ruled that because I had a FAST Card for 3 years and precleared it wasn't necessary.
