I thought too...how did I miss this thread the first time??? But now I remember we were in KY for a week then. I guess when I got back, it was on page 3 or something and I never went that far back for posts :wacko:

Anyway Karen and Joel, this house looks lovely and I'm sure you're ready to now make it a wonderful HOME.

Congratulations!

Great looking house, congrats!!

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
