It went really well!!! At least I think! :lol: I'll e-mail the people I met yesterday to thank them and what not, and I'll contact the woman from the staffing agency to see if she got any feedback from them yesterday...

It's back to waiting I guess!

Oh. My. God!!!

So I got a call this morning at 9:20, and it was the woman from the staffing agency. They (the people I met yesterday) wanted me to speak to someone from Canada at 9:30. I was thinking "how much screening do you need to do?!?"... Just got off the phone with him, he was nice, from Quebec, so we spoke in French and it went really well. He said he was going to put a good word in for me. Back to waiting, again, hopefully the next time I post on here it will be with good news!!!

:wacko:

I thought u said someone from Canada?? Good luck

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

That is AWESOME!!!!!! Well done, you!!!

The employer pays the agency a finders' fee. Usually about 30% of the annual salary of the employee.

Oh, gosh I was worried I'd have to pay something! :whistle:
