I was trying to set up an account with Custom House. They ended up sending me an email, asking for the best times to call. Then said they would call and we would finalize everything then. I would have to give them all my bank info. I'm not sure if I trust that, since it's them calling me. I tried to read through other posts about them but found nothing about anyone having to receive a call from them to set it up. Maybe I missed something? I just want to make sure it's secure and that it's not a scam with someone else trying to call and get my info.

Anyone know?

Yes, they called me. Its been awhile so I don't recall if I gave them my banking info then or not. I just recall it was a very short call,and I emailed them through their secure server my banking information, but dont recall if I verbally gave them my banking information.

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
