That is why I put some quotations for "same"

We still have the same roots and most of the words but nope, can't get what they say :)

I was with my future in-laws and fiance over the weekend in Montreal. We had a family get together on saturday and I was completely lost. My future mother in law told her mother about three times that I was an American and that I do not speak any French. She was too cute, still tried talking to me, fiance spent a few minutes translating for us :) I know about maybe 5 French words total.... lol

Are you moving to DE? We are ok the PA/DE boarder :)

Yes, I actually live in Delaware about 30 minutes south of the Philadelphia airport. My fiance is the one moving to me, he currently lives in Montreal :) Where are you going to be living? What town?

I actually bought work with me. YUK! But its things I need to get finished up. I think I will go roaming today or tomorrow. I'm getting a cold so I would rather just stay in bed! I bought a GPS for myself at Christmas time, its paid for itself 10 times over on this trip. Those things are wonderful. No matter how many times I didn't make the turn it told me to, it still got me where I was going. Well for those that are there on Friday, see ya then!

OMG! What an awesome idea! I got a GPS for my birthday last year and didn't think of bringing it, because we'll be walking. But that's AWESOME! SOOOO glad you mentioned the GPS! :thumbs: Thanks, Wis-Can!

On another note... we'got a 9 hour train ride tomorrow to MTL, I think I'm doing thank you notes from the bridal showers. Oyyy... if I'm trapped in a box for 9 hours (as my fiance' says) I might as well be productive. He's worried about getting motion sickness, but I think he talks himself into the motion sickness, before we ever leave... like last night. Ugh. :bonk:

Don't worry, they have barf bags on all the VIA trains, you'll be fine :lol:

Ok, confused yet again :D

DS 156 question 30 asks about ever being granted a visa. On the sample form on VJ it states "no", even though it listed the sample as having been to the US preiovusly.

A B2 (Vistor's visa) IS a visa, so should we not list that???

What did you ladies put??

Thanks....

Leaving in TWO MORE DAYS!!! Unreal. :dance:

OH and an FYI: I called Dr.Seiden just to get a more confirmed answer on the x-ray situ. She said YEs, you have to bring the x ray and forms. NOt sure if we NEED it, but I guess as a Just In Case they tell people to bring it.

Ugh, one more thing to lug around!!! But I guess if we are bored we can always sit and compare chests together ;) HAHA

I listed yes, and wrote B2. They didn't have any problems with that answer. Some of my stamps didn't even say B2, but I still wrote B2. (most of them did). I also answered yes, B2 on my DS 160 (after I did the DS 156, I actually went back and re-did the DS 160 to ensure it was consistent because I didn't realize that I should've said yes, B2 initially on the DS 160.

I put no. Everyone says whenever you enter the US you've being given an invisible B2 visa but I have no stamps in my passport and I always go over by car, and nothing I have actually says "B2" so I really don't feel like I should put yes. When I filled out the DS 160 I said no visa there as well... Maybe that was a mistake on my part, but how am I suposed to know I was granted a visa when it's invisible? Anyone else get my logic?

When I did my form, back in the day I wrote "NO" when asked if ever granted a Visa.... in my mind I hadn't, I didn't know what a B2 was back then. No issues. I would still put no, how is the average person supposed to know what a B2 is.

Exactly. Thank you! I feel better about it now.

Just to clarify. I only put yes because I have about 8 stamps in my passport that say B2, and maybe 5-6 that don't.

If you don't have any stamps that say B2 on them, then you should put no of course!

Ugh I hear you all..... I believe on my DS230 I said I had been issued a US visa and had put in all the dates (it says B2 on a few of my stamps) and all that. But I just checked my DS160 and I clicked "no" to the US visa question.

Ugh, now, what do I do?

I think I'll put no and say I was not sure. Which, is kind of the truth, I'm not sure! :P
