My fiance was as estatic with the news of movement and approvals today as I was. We have a question we're hoping someone may have some experience with or knowledge of. He has a flight booked to visit November 10-15. If we are lucky enough to have our NOA2 by then, will we run into any problems with Customs officers? Or will he be admitted into the states for a short visit realitively easy? Will there be any mention of the K1 in petition attached to his passport? Do we need to mention it? Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks, Brooke and Adam

That's ok.. this forum can be a bit strange sometimes.

I did some quick calculations on the 20 NOA2 that came in last week. I threw out the military expedite and the December filers because I consider them to be 'outliers'.

The average time between NOA1 and NOA2 was just under 85 days. The average mail date was 6/28, the average NOA1 date was 7/8.

The median, meaning the number or date in the middle of the data, was 84.5 days between NOA1 & NOA2. medium mail date 7/6, median NOA2 date 7/9.

The mode, which means most common occurance, was 85 days between NOA1 & NOA2.

ALTHOUGH the dates keep saying 85 days and I should have NOA2 by the 14th, I am hoping that NOA2 comes sooner.

ok, time to get back to getting my homework done and time to stop driving myself crazy on VJ!!!!!!

There are several threads on that topic. The Canadian border can be tricky. Some suggest that he get a note from his employer showing what dates he'll be away from the office. Also, copies of the lease or proof he owns a home - ANYTHING showing he has ties to that country and intends to go back.

I suggest you seek out other people's experiences on the Canadian forum.
