Hi all,

I have been reading this forum for a long time and now have questions and if any one could answer some would be grateful.

I have my interview in early feb.

I am married to a usa woman ( love being married btw )

1- I have been an overstay for 3 yrs. i did not get a i94 when i entered. I do have an affidavit from my sister because she crossed with me stating that the poe did not issue one at the time. since i do not have a i94 for my interview - any tips or advise for adressing this ?

2- i was denied entry 3.5 yrs ago and the poe wanted to see more ties to canada. 3 days later i returned with my ties and equities' to canada and was let in to usa. Again should i be worried about this previous denial.

3- i have lived in the usa for 3 yrs now - will the interviewer ask if i have worked? if they did some due diligence they may find people that i have done some small jobs for. the place i live is a real small town and everyone knows each other.

This forum is amazing and I highly reccommend it. I hired an immigration attorney in the usa and they were shocked at how knowledgeable and prepared I was ....and it was just from reading posts here. People - pay attention and prepare - vj is an excellent resource

please- any advise is very gratefully appreciated

I answered this on the Canadian forum, but for anyone reading and wondering, as a Canadian with no I-94 you are fine. Canadians don't get I-94s when crossing as tourists. Just put "N/A Canadian citizen" or something similar everywhere the forms ask for the A# for I-94 info.

I don't think either of the other things are problems either but maybe someone with more relevant experience can comment.

Also this is in the wrong place! It should be in adjusting from work, student and tourist visa section. Hopefully someone will move it so you can get more input....

Oh, I see:) Well I can tell you that neither the I-94 or work question was brought up at my interview. I would truly, truly hope that an immigration officer conducting interviews would know that Canadians don't get the I-94 generally. I had my interview in Denver and my IO seemed very well-versed in the whole Canadian border thing.

Im wondering the same thing since my husband has been here since 06. From what I understand...all is forgiven, but as for the companies - that may be a different story.

My lawyer was also the same way with me, when I started saying, NOA and RFE...he looked at me and said "Wow, you even know the acronyms!"
