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

Thanks, everyone. Yeah, just a little happy. It has taken the edge off that missing-him feeling that is starting to creep in because I'm taking him to the airport in a few hours.

By the way, does anyone know about how much advance notice we will get from Vancouver of the interview date? I am going to need to make a few appointments in Bellingham for wedding related stuff and the only time I will be out there before the wedding is for the interview.

You should receive package 3 from Vancouver several weeks from now. That's why G will look at what he has to fax back to them with the checklist, and start making appointments for his medical. Once he faxes back the package 3 checklist, they'll book an appointment. I'm sure there was even a comment space to indicate, (or they just right out asked you on the sheet) if there was a time that was most convenient. If you say...earliest, then that's what you'll get. Usually it's about 3-5 weeks from the day you send the checklist back. Soooooooo....you got your NOA2 yesterday, so it might be in Vancouver by the 10th of March say...then they send out package 3 from Vancouver...okay, now you're looking at hmmm mid March say. So...if he sent the package 3 letter back by the 3rd or 4th week of March, then he'd most probably get an interview at the end of April?

This of course is all conjecture, but just to give you an idea. Are you planning to go to the interview with him? When will he be moving? Will you be going straight to Bellingham when you enter the US to get married?

Hope this helps.
