Finally. I should be jumping for joy but I'm too drained. I-129f approved in July and no interview until January?! Even third world countries are faster.

At least it's on a Thursday so we don't have to wait a week-end. Now I'm starting to worry about the weather. Not a good time of year for driving. Trains and planes will be a better bet. Good thing I know where to get Sleeman's in Jersey!

Super news!!

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
