Take deep breathes, feel confident, don't take more things into the Consulate than you absolutely need, then have a good celebration after you have your successful interview and enjoy Old Montreal. Good luck:-)

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Enjoy it!!! Elevator opens from the REAR!!! And the first window is sort of first come, first served!! I stayed fairly close to it. That window is where you will get your ticket number, thin k I was c2. Other than the normal dont bring a big purse, backpack, cell phone, electronics of any sort (yes remote car alarm!!) Have your interview letter handy for security. Have a good time

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

It is first come first serve, BUT the window doesnt open til 0830ish, so if you do not hang out close to that window, others will take advantage of that and get ahead of you, lol There is no honor for some when it comes tio getting that visa ,lol
