Had my interview yesterday and was approved, it was so easy why i was nervous i have no idea. Met Canadian wife there she was infront of me in the line, and we ended up having the same CO for the interview so she was giving me a heads up (we got the super nice man and lady) Its like walking into a DMV, but the view is beautiful from up there. They didn't take my fiance's paystubs just the I34 and the letter from his employer and his tax return. I was in and out by 9:10am. I picked up my medical results before i went ot the embassy at medisys. They say they open at 7am but really the doors are open at 6:45 and they gave me my results and i was at the embassy lining up by 7am with only canadian wife and another girl in front of me. Soo happy now, will be POE ing July 30 thru Maine, fiance is comming up July 24 to help me pack and drive the uhaul down, soooooooooooooooo excited and happy this is over woot woot!!!

Congrats! My POE back in 2004 was thru MAINE! Was a breeze! Congrats

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
