What a busy month.

NOA2 - December 31

PKG3 - January 18

PKG4 - January 24

and now I've scheduled my interview - April 16.

For all those wondering about dates available in MTL... I took the earliest. There were quite a few left for the month of April and May was pretty much wide open.

Hopefully I can reschedule for something a little sooner, but I'm still happy.

OH and after all that, I also got my compliance letter from Toyota today and my car is good to go....

Time to step back and take a breath, my head is literally spinning a million miles a minute.

I'm sure I will have more questions as I go this last leg of this part of the journey :)

I wonder if those dates are the same as what's available for CR1/IR1 interviews or if it differs. I know you get to choose yours and ours are assigned but I wonder how it works.

Can you do me a favour? Let me know if when you POE if you can import your car on a K1 visa. I am down here already and when I asked, they said I needed employment authorization first. I'm not sure if they are confused or if it's just because I didn't do it at the same time as POE.

Been a lot of Cdn k1'ers import their car when they POE.

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

will do :)

I"m still not 100% sure on the process. I was under the assumption that I had to take it to the Kentucky DMV and they just registered it there.... maybe i'm way off?
