Dont know if this is the right forum or if should be in another

But Importing my Car [Registered Importer] and me the K-1 visa at the same time

The lady says she generally deals with importing cars and that I have to cross at a Truck Crossing and go in the line with the Trucks, now that doesnt make sense because I need to import myself first on K1

What has happened to others?

Just curious, how did this play out?

The content available on a site dedicated to bringing folks to America should not be promoting racial discord, euro-supremacy, discrimination based on religion , exclusion of groups from immigration based on where they were born, disenfranchisement of voters rights based on how they might vote.

I just mentioned I wanted to import my car when inside at secondary. The officer on duty filled out the paperwork, I signed it, that was it...add long as you have a letter of compliance you're good and don't need an importer.

no compliance letter but working with Importer so this is my real question either way if I have to go inside on one side to do K-1 paperwork and drive around to go into the truck side no biggies just delays be a couple of hours just trying to figure out how they do it inside

also I will update everyone in July once I drive across :)

The importer doesn't know what they're talking about. You don't need one. All you do is tell the officer you are there to endorse your visa. Once inside you tell them you are importing your vehicle. Easy peasy.

Not sure it is so easy peasy when one has NO compliance letter or any stickers on the engine bay or door stating it is compliant...................

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

Hi Flames. :)

I didn't see where they said there were no stickers. Looks like I could have made myself clearer, though. The OP cannot go back outside to drive to a different lane after having the visa endorsed. It is done in tandem with the endorsement. The officers will have a hairy fit if they go in the truck lane. That lane is for commercial vehicles.

Its a problem he and other Hyundai owners have been having..(on various threads here in the Canada forum) no letter and no stickers......
