treavel after interview

[suzique3 0]

ok this is just a another quick quesiton, this place has all teh answers and with the date of the interview getting close (not close enough) I have so many quesitons and am getting very anxious. What my question is, after the interview and whether they yea or nay, will I still be able to travel to the states to see my fiancee, with out activating my visa. I go every weekend right now, and would like to still see him until I move over there.

any answers??????

thank you

The answers is "Yes/Maybe but only because you're Canadian". For most folks (non-Canadians that is), there is no option; use the visa or don't enter (essentially).

**Because your asking something that is really only specific to our neighbors from the north - I'll push your thread to the Canada Regional forum where you'll get more specifics.

People have done this successfully in the past, but like always, it is completely up to the discretion of the officer at the border weather or not to let you in with the visa in your passport.

ok, so I would be takening a really big chance. That pretty answers wht i am going to do then, sit tight until moving day. (as long as I am approved that is - anxiety is setting in).

thank you so much, so many questions and I get nothing from my lawyer.

If you have a definitive date for your move you can ask the Consular Officer to delay issuance of the visa until you are ready. That way you don't have to worry about travelling back and forth with the visa in your passport. I was able to cross without having the visa endorsed but you go knowing you may have to turn back. I just explained the situation and they were understanding.

Yeah, my fiance' wondered the same thing. His appointment is May 3 and there were some weddings the next weekend he wanted to attend with me (not our wedding of course but family friends). We have basically decided he will just stay in Canada and not visit so we don't have to worry about being turned back at the border until he decides to make his POE at the beginning of July. If he would be coming for a long visit, it would be one thing, but just for a weekend, it just isn't worth the unknown of it to do.
