I'm from Canada and I've never had a problem crossing the border yet. Although I've read that some customs agents are 'uninformed' and don't think you can cross with a K1 in process and some are just plain asses. So one never knows. I'm not sweating it though. The kids and I were there in March...if the plan was to stay we wouldn't have left. We lived together for years and traveled to the US together frequently. Anybody with any common sense can see that we would have every reason NOT to stay and every reason to come back to Canada. We've been playing by our respective Gov't's 'rules' for years now. I have to attend my niece's wedding next month and then we are leaving after that. About a month and hopefully this month goes FAST!

Hey everyone,

So I'm safely in Portland, Oregon. Actually, I'm in a hotel in Portland waiting for Roland. His flight is coming in late, so I checked in first.

Anyway, on with the issue at hand. Customs went well. I had everything all prepared, but all the guy asked was what I was doing in the US and for how long and when was the last time I was in the US. And he let me through. Not that I'm saying not to be prepared. It's just good if everything works out.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hey fellow May filers!

I'm back from my US trip. It was great learning how to windsurf. Scary with the windy gusts but great :)

Anyway, I guess there's not much movement with our May filers, eh? What's promising, though, is that the Feb filers who have gotten their NOA2's already have received some interview dates. Pretty cool...*crosses fingers*

Oh, and happy belated Canada day for the Canadians here.
