My fiance' just called to tell me he successful POE'd at Port Huron. He said his border guard was "slower than molasses" and that lots of people were getting pulled into secondary (probably because of the holidays coming up). Most of the wait was on the Canadian side just getting to the toll booths, so be prepared.

He got his I-94 and imported his car with no problems. More information to follow tomorrow once I can ask him more questions. He was so hungry he said " I could eat road kill." I suggested he find some other nutrition!

Congratulations! Hehehe, I expect we're not going to hear back from you until sometime tomorrow, though :P!

I am just so glad he is home. He said that it took 30 minutes in side the secondary inspection before he was even called up, then it took another hour to do all the paperwork and import his car because as he put it, "the border guard was as slow as molasses!". They didn't go through his things in the car or anything, but he said lots of people were getting pulled into secondary inspection (probably because of the holidays coming up) so that slowed everything down.

Knowing that he is here and that his car was imported (I wasn't sure about that and when he didn't call 2 hours after telling me he was in Sarnia, I was sure that because his car isn't paid off from the bank in Canada that for some reason they had turned him back, but thankfully that wasn't the case, just terrible traffic and too many people getting inspected).

Today we are going to apply for our marriage license because in MI there is a 3 day waiting period so we need to get that taken care of before the July 4 holiday which is observed on July 5 for all the public offices and banks.

There are several Michiganders on here, I think there is even a thread especially for them (I will probably dig it up now that I am getting ready for AOS once I get married).

We went to the Clerk's office to get our marriage certificate and confirmed that we can come in person with the signed certificate to get our "certified marriage certificate" on the spot. Yeah! AOS faster than waiting to send it in!
