Well we made it into the US. The POE was a breeze but there was a bit of a line up. I flew out June28 and my dog was good to go, i was worried cause he had kennel cough. I left for the airport at about 11:00 am as my flight was leaving at 2pm. I got to the US customs official and he took me to the immagration waiting room there were 3 people, and a family of 3 ahead of me and there were having some computer issues but in total it took me about 45 minutes to go thur. The lady called me up asked a couple of questions and I was on my way. I ask and no we are not allowed to work until we get our EAD and also you can not cross the boarder again. I had a connection in Minniapolas and we were delayed for awhile. It was hard as my anticipation was building up to be in my new home with my soon to be husband and step daughter. I finally arrived in the Harrisburg, PA airport (final destination) and I was greeted by my fiancee and his kid and a sign saying " Welcome to America"! Flags and all! It was so sweet.......Wow I can't believe I am here.

a nice way to start. 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
