Hello all! Not sure this is where I should post this, but someone nice will move it, and so I'll say thank-you now!

I went through my POE at Vancouver International this morning and after saying that I was activating my K-1 visa, I was asked to go to secondary inspection. (course, I knew that I would). I waited in there almost an hour before my name was called, and the rest was painless. Filled out my 1-94, visa got stamped, the package was opened, and everything in order. That was it. They didn't seem to care what I was bringing with me, ( I had two big suitcase, and also checked wall pictures..lol) But I'm through!! Just a few more hours and I'll be in SC!!

Thank you so much for all of the advice that I've been given, and have read from past experiences. I'll be sure to hook up with the AOS thread in October. I'll probably have a question or two then for that as well.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS
