Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't been on here for a while, just been really busy since I got to GA. My POE was on August 29/2008 and I haven't received a welcome letter or my green card as of yet. Does anyone know how long it usually takes? Also, does anyone know about this new US immigration legislation that was on Sept. 30/2008?

"With God All Things Are Possible,trust in the Lord with all your heart,mind,Body and Spirit."

Usually takes around a month!!

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
