They mailed it out on the 17th (according to the woman at GOV) and I checked the mail when I got home and still nothing....

What is up?

Does it usually take this long?? I emailed Montreal last night but who knows if they will even answer me..I've read that Montreal isn't that great with emails....

Guys...I need a hug!!!!!!!!

I bet u wish u had my Airwolf helo!! Not only can it be stealthy, it has MISSILES!!!! Mine also has the Tim Hortons feature!! Hope u get some good news soon

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Laura and Nick you are going to have it very soon I am sure of it. Come on you can find lots to think about other than that, lets see for starters you need to start thinking about the things you need to take with you when you move like some Tim Hortons coffee cause you can't get it in MOST of the US lol. Now cheer up and make yourself a list that will keep you busy. Trust me I have been where you are and you know what time seems slow now but it will get better trust me on that.

I'm not too stressed about time..that's fine...I don't mind waiting a little more. I'm not in a huge rush to get down there just yet, still have some money to save up and other plans to figure out. I'm just concerned with it being lost in the mail because I hear Montreal is a b*tch to get in contact with and if I need them to send me another one...sigh...I foresee some problems on the horizon if that's the case.

Thanks for the support!!!!

As for the food list, that was done months ago....lol I have a big shopping trip to Cosco to make!!!

If it is any consolation I think CBR had a crazy packet 3 journey as well... I think hers went via Toronto or something when she sent it back so maybe it's just Canadian craziness or something?

I know the UK postal service is pretty rubbish - I sent my packet 3 first class and it took 6 days :angry: First class *used* to mean it got there the next day...

Well it sounds like you have everything well in hand for sure. I didn't do a shopping before I left so now I just have to tell my Mother when she comes to visit what I want her to bring to me lol.

I received my Packet 3 this week, it was mailed on 3/19. However I also received ANOTHER packet 3, addressed to another woman at my exact address!! Obviously the person in Montreal was doing too many things at once and made a typo on her address. I immediately e-mailed the address on my cover page, advising them I received 2 packet 3's one to me and one addressed to someone else! They replied within a few hours apologizing for their error and that they would send the other person a new packet 3 immediately. If you do not receive it soon, I would e-mail or call them because who knows, it could have gone to someone else in error!
