So I have my K1 interview in Vancouver for May 15....now I am freakin' nervous as all get out. Not sure why. What if? What if?? What if????

I read in here that some people have had to get their photos redone...well I'm worried about that cause its just me going to the interview....I wasn't gonna take my girls and now of course what if they don't like the photos I have..done by Walmart of course!

Also, should I book a flight back home that day? I have no real reason to stay in VCR and I need to get back to work....I'm booking a flight in the day before and I plan on staying at one of the hotels nearby.

Now about carrying a bloody huge X-ray with me on the plane...good grief what will I do with that?

I haven't been able to talk to my fiance since I have received my letter....I need his calming attitude to calm me down about my ever worrying mind. I wish he could come with me.

so anyone??? lol

my god what if they do not like ur shoes? Should you wear the brown conservative shoes? or the power red shoes!! Soo many decisions, and yes the color all depends on a successful interview!!

:mellow: Don't worry it will go well!! Ur not goin gto get denied over photos (or shoes,lol) Best of luck

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

Take a deep breath :) It will be fine; Vancouver is a good consulate to deal with. One suggestion I have is to make sure your paperwork is all organized. I bought a file folder thingy to use and it was very helpful ... made it super easy to find the paperwork when the official asked for it.

Best wishes vnoe! Although Joel went through MTL he was still as nervous as you are. His interview was only five minutes and two questions. You'll do fine! Do post your experience though...it will I'm sure be helpful to others going through Vancouver. :)

You guys are all so funny. LOL. But I'm probably going to be nervous too when the day for my interview finally rolls around.

Passport photos was something I was worried about because even though I specified 2 by 2 inches the guy did not give me 2 by 2, but 2 by slightly less than 2. I didn't end up bothering getting them redone. I'm still a tiny bit unsure about it but it would be pretty cruel to deny a visa just cause the photos are 2 or 3 mm wrong. LOL.

Congrats! You'll do fine... they issue visas usually the same day at 2 p.m. so if you are booking a flight back, consider a later one so you have time to pick up your visa. Feel free to read my review of Vancouver in my signature. Also, you don't need to bring the x-ray but if you feel more comfortable bringing it, just roll it up and tie an elastic band around it.

Also, do NOT check your luggage! Keep your medical and paperwork on you on the plane as well as the "do not open" package when you get your visa. I guarded all that stuff with my LIFE until I crossed the border. Even in the hotel (I had 2 days there before my interview) I was tempted to put my paperwork in the hotel safe. :P
