Hi everybody!

My wife and I want to take a trip down to my family in PA this holiday weekend... The only problem is that we are in process for her CR-1. We are currently awaiting the interview date (which will hopefully be soon). We have a new nephew (he was born in April), and we really want to go see him, and the rest of my family.

Since we are already past the stage of giving all the times she's crossed the border (DS-230), would there be any complications at the interview if we did get turned away?

Also, we would bring a letter from both of our employers stating that they expect us back, perhaps a copy of our rental agreement, an e-mail from my sister, a picture of our new nephew...

Is there anything else we should bring to convince the border guard to let us in? Everything we've read says that it's up to the border guard to let us in or not, so we want to bring as much evidence as possible...

We don't want to cause any complications, but we really want to see my fam...

Thanks for your input!!!

Bill (and Caroline)
