ok, so I got my lovely letter for my appt. Now on the bottom it says Case # and blah blah blah...then it says my name and then "Traveling Applicants"...below that it names myself and my 2 children...so does that mean I have to bring them to the interview???

I have sent an email to the consulate but I figured the information I have received from this website is more than helpful and so quick to reply I better start here.

Thanks again for all your help and for your words of advice. Without this site I know I would have been totally ignorant of a lot of information and tips.

How old are ur kids?

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

Hard to know how accurate this is but it says kids need to be there:

I'll be in a similar boat with the same consulate....

From what I've read, 14 is the magic number, but better to bring them anyways.

June 3 - Mailed N-400, Application for Naturalization.

June 8 - Received email with Receipt Number.

June 11 - Biometrics appointment letter mailed out (June 30 at 1PM)

June 30 - Biometrics.

You're going through Vancouver, right? I had a hard time getting them to respond to e-mails, so I called (using the number listed under "Embassy Info", extension 234) and they were very friendly.

I will try and give them a call tomorrow if I don't get an email by late afternoon.

thx

I've got my fingers crossed I don't need to bring them....I know they would hate the whole fast trip thing!!! not to mention how tired they would be............
