How long till after Visa did you run over the border?

[CentaursLady 4]

Hi all..

For those of you that have moved to US, those of you that are ready to go, and those of you that are itching to go...

How long did you / are you, waiting from Visa in hand to POE? LOL

Sound like many are just itching to go and left right after they recieved their Visa.

I know for myself, I am waiting a couple months due to ties at work. (bonuses being paid out and such)

Visa approved but not leaving till March.

I know I will really miss Christmas with my man, but rest of my life with him is worth the wait for financial reasons.

Gotta save now for the AOS, lol

I booked my flight as soon as i got the visa and left a week later. Stopped a month before with working and shipped everything I needed the week before

As soon as i have my visa in my hot little hands i will be booking a flight and telling Glenn when to pick me up in NY... I will be nothing but a white flash leaving here. All I will need to do is ship a couple of boxes the same day and that will be it. Already arranged for people to take my furniture.

Can't wait. Thoughts of running into my Baby's arms in the airport help me to fall asleep with happy thoughts.

I got my visa today and I'm leaving on the 24th! Talk about having a MERRY Christmas! Lol

Alla arrived a month later. She had business obligations with her job and did not give notice of leaving until the visa was in her hand, then had to meet the committments she made. We did not make any plans or buy any plane tickets until the visa was in her hand.

My husband came a month after getting his visa. He had things to take care of and finalize there before coming here permanently. We chose a date (personal to us) and bought his ticket not long after he had the visa in his possession.

I was teaching in Canada, so I had a contract and had to finish out the school year (at least if I wanted to avoid seriously honking off the principal, who's a nice guy and didn't deserve that anyways). My visa was issued April 30, but I didn't PoE until July 12.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

After I received my Visa, I got offered a temporary job back home in Canada. So I fulfilled that contract and waited 4 months to cross the border.

It was a hard decision to wait that long, but the money I made working that job has been a life saver for us once I moved, so I don't regret a thing.

It took the wife about 2 months to go thru the process of getting permission to leave her country. Once that process was completed--it felt like another k-1 visa application--we made travel plans and she arrived after having the visa for 3 months.

About a month and a half from visa in hand until POE for me. Had to get things sorted out with bringing my German shepherd, embargo rules for one thing. And then just taking a couple of breaths of air more in my home country wasn't the worst thing that ever happened.

Should be a couple more days until I actually receive my visa, but I won't be leaving until at least March.

I want Stephan to come pick me up so we can enter the US together, and in plane tickets alone it will be around $1500. Money's the only thing stopping me from going the next day though

We're thinking no more than 2 weeks should be enough time to tie up the loose ends.

He got his visa on the 15 and left that night
