We have yet another... *drum rolls*

:dance::dance::dance:APPROVAL FOR THE CANADA FORUM!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

Thank you all for helping to keep me sane (or as sane as possible for me!).. it really did help a lot!

Alf phoned me at almost 4 Vancouver time (3 hours after the scheduled time! ack!) and I could hear it in his voice before he ever said anything. *cheesy grins* He's supposed to pick up his visa at 2pm tomorrow. I can't even tell you how excited I am!

He said they only asked a few questions at the actual interview. He said it's all a blur a tthis point, but he does remember her asking how we met, when we met in person, when he proposed, and glanced through the pictures. I'm SO relieved it was so easy. :D

When it comes to our relationship, something seems to *always* go wrong. I can't even list everything right now, but we did have our usual "something" today as well. When Alf went back out to the car to leave, there was an officer leaving him a parking ticket! He only paid the meter 2 hours, and was help up a bit longer due to a complicated case being before his. :rofl: I told him I was more than happy for that the be our "something" this time!

The love of my life will be back home with me on Thursday!!!!!

Great news. 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
