Have other couples experienced similar differences in the past, and was there any indication why?

Also, does anyone have current information on whether Fort Frances (across from International Falls, where we'll probably set up our interview) does iris scans currently? I remember reading a thread somewhere (could have been here) that they had a scanner, or relocated one there, temporarily. Otherwise we have an excuse to wander up to Winnipeg!
