NOA usually takes a week to get in. it really does not mean much, it just means that they received your application. what is more important is the RFE if they send you one, it is where they would request some additional material from you

i thought the NOA was pretty important ... I thought you needed that and your expired Green card if you wanted to travel out of the country ....

I thought the same thing as well...getting it within 1 week would be great but that just seems really fast to me. Anyone got any additional info?

Went through vermont, took around a month

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
