Congrats!! I recall 1 sort of grumpy lady there. She was the one that gave me back my forms and quickly siad to look at them, and put them in such a such order!! At first I did not hear the order and had to get her to repeat!! 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

Congratulations! :dance: That is wonderful news! :thumbs:

I think I got that same grumpy lady :( ... :blink: I think it is her normal temperment! I had changed my job and told her I am a policy manager for the federal government. She wrote I was admin including clerical that is now on my forms!!! Man, was I ticked off! I know it makes no difference in the big scheme of things but I think she is very unhappy in HER clerical/admin type job so put me there too!!! :o

Oh well... moving on... :luv:;)

Can the Naturalizatin process be so painless?!!
