Wondering,

Hi,

My husband is about to start two Cr-1's One for my son and One for myself.

I realize this is going to take some time to be processed and could be one year.

Is there anyway to still visit? I realize that this is a process and im sure everyone goes through being apart but

I would love to be able to visit my husband lol

I live in canada and He lives in washington, he is a tech and can only take off little time (as over the past year he has took off all his vacation time to come for holidays with me) I hate to think that we will only get to see each other twice in the next year.

please let me know if there is anything i can do? or if There is a way to still visit the states during the process?

You can always come visit during processing... provided you bring with you enough proof of ties to Canada, such as;

-lease / mortage

-letter of employment

-bank accounts

A lot of folks come and go while they are processing. Welcome to VJ!!!

you can still visit for sure, I did/do all the time. You just have to make sure that you bring along 'ties to Canada' letters. Like a letter from your job saying when you're expected back, letter from landlord or a mortgage agreement and so forth... just things to show the guard at the border that you do NOT intend to stay in the US illegally. Oh, when you got you NOA1 letter confirming receipt of your documents at USCIS, take that along as well. Any and all things that show that you do intend to come back to Canada.

That being said... the guard at the border still has the right to turn you away if he/she isn't satisfied with what you brought. The key thing in all this is not to lie about anything. Be succinct and to the point with your answers and don't lie. You won't harm yours and your son's case if you get turned away but you may very well if you're caught lying.

Also, don't bring a lot of stuff with you that shows intent to set up domicile and dont' bring resumes and such -- you need to make sure you look like you're coming home, you know?

I stressed/still stress about this a lot when we first started so I know how daunting it can be.

Hope it all goes well for you.

Best,

I can only agree with this - my wife and I go back and forth. In fact, she lives close to the Buffalo/Niagara border so goes shopping in the states pretty regularly with no problems. I also get grilled at the airport when I come visit but I think the key is that they are convinced you do indeed plan to come back. I'm sure they look at your entry/exit history (they scan your passport after all) and can see that you frequently travel but you always come back when you say you will...

Not sure how I'd get through this process otherwise to be honest, kudos to those of you doing this trans-atlantic/pacific!
