Edited by Flames9_RN

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

I was not given any I94, nor was charged $6 for it. The oval stamp (like any ordinary one) has date in it. Officer wrote my Alien Registration Number in it. Its half on the visa and half on the empty adjacent page. The stamp doesn't have my name pic or anything. Its just an ordinary stamp with DHS written on it. May be its different for B2, H1B or TN-1 visas. Mine was IR-1, so things were different definitely.

I-94s are only issued to non-immigrants. Since you are an immigrant you get the I-551 stamp - as demonstrated above. That is the stamp version of the green card which has the same identifying number I-551. Welcome to America!:)

“...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?”
